Property Notes

Please note that you need to reserve a table if you would like dinner. Children under 10 years are not allowed in the restaurant after 20:00. The reception for guests is open Monday to Friday 7am to 8pm, Saturday 8am to 6pm and Sunday 8am to 12pm. When the reception is closed the keys can be collected from the pub/restaurant. Breakfast is served Monday to Friday 07:00 to 09:30, and Saturday and Sunday 08:00 to 10:00. If arriving by car, be careful when using satellite navigation. After M20 junction 7, as you come into the A249, most sat-nav systems will send you the wrong side of the Pilgrims Way.

Beautiful venue,warm, friendly staff all in a stunningly beautiful area

If I had known that the site was so large I would have asked for an easy access room so that I didn't have to do the big hill as I have cardiac and joint problems. Just a personal thing, my bed was too firm and so I had very little sleep which impacted on my entire day as cele rant for a wedding taking place at Longton Wood.

"A very cosy place to visit with a super Chef in the kitchen."

8.0

Situated in the Garden of England the listed Building is a perfect occasion to stay for a short break or a longer stay. The pub, the garden, the chef and all the stuff are perfect . Our hut had a modern Walk-in shower bathroom , the beds are comfortable , the dog was welcome.

We could not open the window and it was too late to ask for help.
