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.

Uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gut gefallen, das Zimmer war sehr sauber und groß, die Betten äußerst bequem. Besonders toll fanden wir die Begrüßungsbox mit Leckerlies und Kuschelhandtuch für unseren Hund. Was für eine nette Geste. In der Anlage stehen außerdem überall Mülltonnen für die Hundetüten. Es waren ausreichend Parkplätze an der Unterkunft vorhanden. Wir werden gerne wieder hier übernachten!

"Just off The North Downs Way!"

9.0

It's well located for The North Downs Way. The chalets were surprisingly quiet during the night and are probably preferable to staying in the popular pub. The food was excellent and a packed lunch was available if requested. The staff were super!

Breakfast was only average. Bran flakes would be nice as an option.
