Great dog-friendly stop-over to/from crossing...

Liked: Very dog friendly with lots of great walks, ideal after a long drive and Chunnel crossing. Lovely pub atmosphere in pretty hamlet, with easy parking for the hotel guests. Food was very good.
Disliked: Food & staff were great, but a long wait for both dinner and breakfast.

Qyiet rural location

Liked: Quiet rural location yet still close to all attractions like Leeds Castle & Sissinghurst Castle Gardens.Room was spacious & tucked away with a small garden at the front.Dinner was delicious.Lovely walk up to the castle with views over the Kent countryside.
Disliked: You can hear the room next door as walls are thin, this is minor.

Another perfect stay.

Liked: We are regulars at the Black Horse Inn. It has become our bolt hole for a quick break. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very attentive and helpful and the food was amazing as always. But the best thing is the atmosphere. It’s very welcoming and relaxing and the whole place seems to be filled with smiling happy faces. For us it’s the perfect place to go to relax.
Disliked: There isn’t a thing we’d change.
