The Star And Eagle Hotel

I would recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing weekend away with lovely food and a wealth of character and original features. It's in a good location for country walks and woodland cycling.

Liked: A lovely place to stay.

The staff make the stay...

Liked: Staff were absolutely fantastic. Helpful, polite and hard working. Breakfast was amazing as was the location. Room was very clean albeit a little shabby. Loved though the fact a number of original and antique fixtures and fittings have been kept. Loved the 4 poster bed. The bathroom really lets the room down and needs a total refurbishment. For £230 for 1 night (a Saturday premium price tag I assume) I really would expect decent bathroom facilities. These are not antique fixtures just very dated and shabby. Towel rail was belting out heat during a heatwave with no way of turning it off as hard wired to the mains which was an issue. This aside I would definitely stay again for all reasons stated except the bathroom of course and definitely not on a premium charge night.
Disliked: Bathroom left a lot to be desired

Very relaxing and friendly hotel...

Liked: An atmospheric, ancient, but very well appointed pub/hotel. Staff all superbly welcoming and friendly.Dinner menu very varied and an excellent "fish specials list" too. Very smart restaurant on one side of the bar, but same meals in characterful bar too.Many more "Mind Your Head" notices than most hotels................all part of its historyWell located to visit mid-Kent and into East Sussex

Gorgeous historical hotel

Liked: Loved the history of the hotel and the staff were very attentive.
Disliked: The low ceiling heights were a challenge. Felt quite claustrophobic in our room especially when husband is 6’4”. Would probably not have stayed if we’d known the challenges he faced with ceiling heights.
