Pros: Comfortable bed. Good shower. Sensational breakfast. Lovely hosts.

Pros: Great location and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also very accommodating for our baby and cooked up a super breakfast for all 3 of us.

Cons: The only downfall was that the curtains in the room were rather thin which meant that because we are in the British summer, the sun from 5am was so bright that we were all awake much earlier than usual.

Pros: My second visit in as many weeks! A very warm welcome from owners Andy and Sue. Room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of towels and toiletries in the shower room. Because I needed to be at Brands Hatch early morning, an excellent breakfast was served early as requested. Sue was able to book a local restaurant for an evening meal for me, with 40% discount too! Thank you.

Pros: 500 years old. Quaint and quirky

Pros: Nice large room.

Cons: Hair on the bathroom floor

Pros: My room was very charming and it was obvious that my host enjoyed decorating her own rooms as well as the guest rooms. The outlook from my room was delightful across the small village green. And being spring, all the flowers and wisteria were in bloom. Breakfast was so well prepared with many choices. I easily parked my car in the pub across the road, and ate dinner there as well - using a free drink voucher provided by the Old Manor House - lovely menu there and reasonable.

Pros: This was probably the best B&B I have ever stayed at (from a great many of them). The "studio" is located in a magnificent countryside setting and the owner has thought of every possible B&B requirement that a guest could have. The breakfast provided was full of fresh, home made or local produce. Simply outstanding!

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Pros: Top quality apartment; great value for money breakfast.

Cons: All good

Pros: Very welcoming host and lovely room

Pros: For a b&b it was better than usual it was fitted out with great care for comfort and cleanliness

Cons: Only thing was the noise the boiler made coming on and the sign advertising the place could be alittle bit bigger but this is a small thing to change and not a great upset

Pros: An exceptional property and facilities - what a very pleasant surprise. The breakfast was really fantastic, although I think I probably needed another guest to get through it, as there was so much of it. a high standard of fitments and fixtures and the bed was very comfy. I'd definitely recommend this property for all weary travellers.

Cons: A little difficult to find in the dark - but not a major problem.

Pros: Good off road parking. Beautiful flat above garages, even had outside table to eat from. Plenty of hot water, good comfortable bed. Provisions in fridge was a welcomed addition. Very clean apartment. 5 stars.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable and well thought out.

Cons: Nothing, it was all great

Pros: Property was close to Reigate High Street. Has a lovely garden. Plenty of pubs and restaurants, with independent shops. Our hosts were very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was accompanied with a selection of fruit, yogurts and selection of homemade sweet and savoury pastries.

Pros: Comfy bed, nice breakfast (beans aren't on the list but I heard someone order them) with nice selection of fruit.

Pros: Fabulous hotel. The owners are delightful. The decor is very tasteful. The gardens a delight. Breakfast was superb with excellent choices. The hot option freshly cooked to order. Couldn’t ask for more.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location just off Reigate High Street. Easy 3 minute ealk from Gurkha Kitchen, which is excellent. Extraordinary breakfast!

Cons: Traffic outside quite intense as from 6am.

Pros: The view at breakfast of lovely garden and hills In the background

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Lovely hosts. Beautiful garden. Lovely period building and furnishings. The location is terrific, Reigate is a lovely town. Getting to Gatwick for a midday flight was very easy.

Cons: It was an exceptionally hot day and our top floor room was very warm. A fan at least would be a great addition. Our host had said the swimming pool "would be freezing" so we showered for dinner, but when we felt the water on the way out that night it was actually fine, so it would have been great to have had a swim.

Pros: Central location, very clean and comfortable, good breakfast, welcoming and thoughtful hosts. Beautiful garden to view over breakfast and from rear rooms. Free parking.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The peace and quiet of a town based hotel - in the middle of the town. Totally unique.

Cons: The shower needed attention.

Pros: The hotel is beautifully looked after, one of the best I have seen anywhere in my travels. The location is perfect walking distance from Reigate but also from the green areas of Reigate Heath. Breakfast was worth getting up for .The gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The owner and his team are superb.

Cons: TV was a little small.

Pros: The staff are very friendly and efficient. The room was beautiful with more room than we expected and the gardens are magnificent. We had a truly wonderful experience.

Pros: The room was comfortable and clean, the wifi worked well even on the top floor. The ensuite was a decent size, overall it was a nice room. The traffic noise, though audible, wasn't too loud. It was good to have off road parking. Having Tesco Extra right opposite was useful, the high street was also not far away.

Cons: It seems that if you would like to purchase breakfast this needs to be ordered before you arrive, I asked if I could have some when I got there and was told that there wouldn't be any. The property is on an extremely busy road, in fact the whole surrounding area was just awful for traffic, it's not somewhere I'd like to stay for very long.

Pros: Nice welcome , clean tidy good breakfast ,excellent value for the money. And 15 minutes from the motorway.

Pros: A very comfortable room

Cons: No iron in room

Cons: Lifting my sweetcase upstairs.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Room was well set out, very clean

Cons: I'm just being fussy but the beds were a little soft

Pros: Very friendly staff and the hotel is clean and well presented.

Pros: We loved it and alma was lovely

Cons: N:a

Pros: The owners were very welcoming, breakfast was superb. Can’t praise it enough, even in walking distance of pub for food. Accommodation was new and to a very high standard.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything, it worked perfectly -- having afternoon tea and cake on arrival was a very nice touch, the breakfast was delicious with healthy options (very important!), the bed very comfortable, the hosts most welcoming and helpful. Thank you!

Pros: Like home from home. Clean and comfortable. Extensive breakfast which was absolutely delicious.

Pros: Very clean, modern and well equipped. A beautiful location and peaceful. Very nice pub not even 2 minute walk. Hosts were very pleasant and welcoming, left us to our own devices and a very enjoyable breakfast.

Cons: I drove passed it a couple of times, as no signage, but pictures helped locate but maybe a small sign on the front would help? This is not even a spec on how well the experience was though and I don’t take anything away from how it completed a weekend away for us.

Pros: The room was lovely and clean and furnished tastefully. Bathroom the same with a good shower.

Cons: There wasn't a sign outside the property to distinguish it from other houses. When I knocked at front door the host pointed to a small sign which obviously wanted me to go to the side of the house which didn't appear to be very welcoming.

Pros: Bed was great!!Shower good although shower room a little small !Altogether it served its purpose!

Cons: The room was a little small.

Pros: Really nice house and a friendly welcome, as well as being offered tea and cake which was a lovely touch. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice bathroom. There was a good choice of food at breakfast and Sarah was a great host! Would definitely recommend if visiting the area such as Knole Park or Ightham Mote

Pros: Friendly host, lovely bed, delicious breakfasts

Cons: Nothin

Pros: Our host Sarah and her husband made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was delicious every day and our room was clean and comfortable. Ample parking and great location for visiting places of interest around the Sevenoaks area. The pub just up the road was also an added bonus. We would thoroughly recommend Knole B&B to all our friends. :)

Cons: There was nothing not to like about this establishment.

Pros: The welcome was warm and friendly. The bedrooms were large and comfortable and furnished to a high standard. The wet room shower was excellent and the shower gel provided was a delight. The full English breakfast was delicious and there was a good choice of fresh fruit and cereals. The location is obviously convenient for Knole House, but Ightham Mote and Chartwell (both also National Trust) are close by. We stayed to walk in the local countryside and had a lovely weekend.

Cons: Couldn't fault it.

Pros: Amazing greeting at the Kingswood. Felt very welcome

Pros: Just nice and modern

Cons: Stubbed my toe going to the bathroom in the middle of the night

Pros: Very quiet countryside location with very comfortable rooms.

Cons: Depends what you are looking for. Not easily found.

Pros: Everythingno

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very Modern and plush, lovely country views

Pros: Room quality, location, friendly staff, quiet, comfortable.

Cons: Dining area part of golf club lounge.

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast was dreadful, with no real response to my complaint.

Pros: The room was very high standard, everything was lovely, spotlessly clean. Lovely fluffy towels. Was a real pleasure to stay there. Would definitely go back, also have recommended it to my friends.

Cons: Nothing !!!!!

Pros: Gorgeous modern new hotel on the golf course. Very tastefully decorated. Enormous shower head, like standing in a warm rain shower!

Cons: Small niggly thing but we couldn’t figure out what the bright green light in the ceiling right above our beds was. Kept us awake for a while!

Pros: The grounds and location

Cons: Food

Pros: The staff were really nice and welcoming. Tried as hard as they could to help us with our requests. The room was nice and clean , was glad the rooms are soundproof. The pub was busy and noisy during the evening but we could hardly hear it and slept well. If we were in the area we would definitely stay here again.

Cons: Wish there was aircon in the room. It got really warm inside. The cleaners could spare a bit more time on cleaning the shower heads and sinks. There’s no excuse for all that limescale. Little bit of cillit bang or Viakal would do magic! The carpets could do with a clean too. But these observations and didn’t effect our stay.

Pros: The size of the room was lovely and setting in village.

Cons: The carpets on the staircase were terrible and in the room the carpets were stained and grubby. Whilst the room was lovely and big there were several small things that could benefit from attention. Grouting in shower in places needs doing, cobwebs etc. Breakfast was not great

Cons: Nice place, nice location, great food

Pros: Rooms were excellent and staff very friendly.

Cons: Nothing of note

Pros: an excellent breakfast nothing was missing. As we were visiting somewhere local, the location was great.

Cons: nothing all good,

Pros: I thought the manager was lovely and very accommodating and the waiter was pleasant. Although I had to send my meal back because my lamb was slightly undercooked, the manager was more than happy to resolve it straight away. The manager also opened up for breakfast 30 minutes early due to the fact we had to leave around the time breakfast usually starts. The breakfast itself was cooked perfectly and the breakfast room (the bar area) was nice and cool - just what you need on a red hot day like this. The restaurant area of the property is very stylish and the whole place is very clean.

Cons: When I booked my room I was looking for somewhere special to stay. It was our anniversary and we have 4 boys home from university so really wanted to get away for the night. The property had some very good reviews and looked amazing from what I could tell. I was excited and more than happy to pay the non-refundable £139 for the room. When I arrived at the property I was surprised to find, what looked on the outside, more like a pub on a main road. I had to park on a side street and walk through the bar area to check in. When I was shown to my room I was both gob-smacked and upset. The stairwell did not seem very safe due to the fact a handrail seemed to be missing on the side with the drop, there was a mini-fridge outside my room with bottles of orange in and a sticker saying 50p on the front of it. My room was nice, but had blinds only at the windows, the window were all wide open to let some fresh air in and all I could hear were people talking and cars. When I looked outside my window I found a group of people drinking and smoking. I decided to close the windows and the blinds. That's when I discovered there was no air-conditioning. Instead, a noisy and not very effective plug in desk fan was available. When I booked the room I was led to believe the room would have a bath. I was wrong. The shower was fine but I was really hoping for a bath, plus the water temperature was a little temperamental. The noisy fan had to stay plugged in all night and I still woke up soaking in sweat because I was so hot. The blinds also failed to block the light, so as soon as the sun came up, early in the morning, I was awake. All in all, pleasant staff, pleasant restaurant and bar area and delicious breakfast - but I would not stay again and definitely not if I had to pay £139 again

Pros: Comfy bed

Cons: On their website it clearly states that Tue-Thu there is dinner offers ie £20.50 for 2 courses and £25.50 for 3. Both the waiter and manager said this wasn't right, waiter was rude, made me feel stupid and said we couldn't have this offer and told me to speak to the manager in the morning. Although the manager was polite he also said this offer was not on and in 20 years noone has mentioned it before. It clearly shows this offer on their website so beware !!

Pros: The owner was very happy to help anyway he could plus the breakfasts were excellent.

Cons: The weather was very hot but this was beyond his control

Pros: helpful staff

Cons: lack of air conditioning

Pros: The Bakery was a real discovery, chosen for its proximity to two National Trust properties - Chartwell and Emmetts Garden, though those are interchangeable with others, and The Bakery itself has its own history as a building. The exterior signing is self-descriptive - Bar - Brasseries - Restaurant - and it is all of these: very agreeable ambience. The room itself - the other vital factor - was very comfortable: big bed, en suite with everything working and in place. It was the hottest day of the year (of any year), but the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Menu is very good: not 'pub food', but doesn't need to strain itself to be excellent quality, and sufficient. There is no breakfast menu, but any reasonable request will be met to a high standard (includes basic non-meat options).The bar has its own regular clientele, a friendly atmosphere, and there is a 'real' pub across the way, which seems to exist in harmony.

Cons: A fan in the room was the only item lacking... It was just unfortunate, given the high temperature.

Pros: Location great for our personal reasons. Rooms good size and bathroom nicely designed

Cons: Considering not a large hotel, cleanliness I.e. dusting and hoovering could be greatly involved throughout whole establishment.

Pros: The easiest way to stay for Wimbledon

Cons: Nothing....all great!

Pros: ALL Staff friendly, professional and courteous. On arrival and throughout our stay it was a bit disorganised at Reception as they seemed short of staff, same in the evenings in the Restaurant. That said the food generally lived up to or exceeded expectations, not fine dining (it doesn't claim to be) but very good. My Wife had the Fish and chips on one occasion - excellent so I tried the next day - overcooked. That said well balanced Menu and good Wine List, though prices touching the upper end of the range for what was on offer. Air-conditioning was a god-send as this was a couple on the days when temperatures in the South East touched 38 plusDeg. C

Cons: Some more staff, one more serving in the evening and someone to man Reception continuously. I understand the need to be cost conscious and as a significant portion of the Guests seem to be on business and only at the Hotel at Breakfast and in the evenings it is perhaps reasonable to not have someone at Reception permanently, but a little more readily available.

Pros: English breakfast steak

Pros: The Shower was incredible and the bed very comfortable!

Pros: Breakfast was very good

Cons: The room was noisy due to sound travelling from another bathroom when it used water & woke me up & kept on for a while

Pros: Staff, accommodation and food excellent

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Cons: I was ignored for 10 minutes at breakfast, while others came into the room and were served before me. I was not offered toast.

Pros: The Reception, bar, restaurant and cleaning staff I encountered were notably friendly, responsive, helpful and very competent. I was actually given a double room, which was well appointed with modern decor and furniture. Plenty of desk space.

Cons: I chose to eat dinner at a local restaurant simply based on the hotel's menu, which was not to my taste.

Pros: Nice room and good location

Cons: Breakfast ?? very chaotic, not enough staff to deal with the number of people requiring Tea, Toast etc

Pros: Excellent value, very polite and friendly staff. rooms are fully equipped.room had powerful air conditioning unit, comfy/roomy bed, trouser press, tv, hairdryer,bath/shower unit, tea/coffee making facilities. we were given a disabled double room which was brilliant as we both have disabilities.easy parking. breakfast was lovely - we had the full english although there was a lot of other choice too. rooms were serviced thoroughly to a high standard. very clean throughout hotel.

Cons: Food/restaurant/drinks were a bit pricey although right opposite hotel there is a bakers, kebab shop and a chinese and an indian restaurant.

Pros: Large room and a big bath, plenty of hot water. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Stood at the Bar for quite a while to check-in they were very busy but an acknowledgment would have been good, same when my colleague arrived... Wifi rather temperamental. Front room over Bar was noisy but then it is a Pub!

Pros: We have stayed at the Carpenter Arms quite a few times and the Staff are always accommodating and pleasant. We use the Pub as our first port of call on our way to the Euro Tunnel after traveling from Worcestershire. We would recommend it to anyone.

Pros: Location, friendly staff, good food

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The facilities were great the pub food was great. The room was lovely and clean and the shower was awesome.

Cons: The service at breakfast was slow, the food at breakfast was ok but nothing special. In comparison to the meal we had the night before it was sub standard. We all felt like this meal should have been included in the price with the room. If we had stayed for another night none of the group would have paid extra for the breakfast again. We all thought it was quite costly for what we got.

Pros: Great setting, friendly staff, room v clean and comfortable.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. The property has been very tastefully renovated and decorated and we enjoyed our overnight stay.

Pros: The bed very comfy

Pros: Very friendly hosts, welcoming family atmosphere. David kindly took us to our party nearby with a mini local guided tour en route.

Pros: Fantastic location and great hosts. David and Jane made us very welcome, communication before and during our stay was first rate, we even received a text while we we’re still in bed asking if we would like a tea or coffee brought up to our room. We will definitely use again if we need somewhere to stay in Ashtead.

Pros: Bed very comfortable and room very clean. Very welcoming hosts .

Pros: Our hosts were very nice. Jane did a load of washing for me and as other guests had departed she quickly cleaned a private bathroom for our use, instead of the shared bathroom we had paid for. The room was small, but comfortable, with a lovely garden view.

Pros: Good Location

Cons: All fine

Pros: Great in every way. Marvellous breakfasts, most comfortable night's sleep I've had in months. Clean, friendly. Stylish, quiet.

Pros: The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in...amazing sleep. Breakfast was lovely and so were the staff. Definitely would stay again.

Pros: A good location (for London) opposite the Carshalton ponds, allowing some green space to walk in. A roomy and comfortable room with air-conditioning providing for all necessities (including decaffeinated tea and coffee). Dinner menu offered some variety from typical menu for a 'pub' hotel.

Pros: Clean and comfortable

Cons: There was not enough staff at breakfast time , orders were mixed up and the wait was longer than usual

Pros: Good choice and well prepared.

Cons: No music would have suited me though I know others enjoy it

Pros: I had an upgrade. The room was superb, very spacious, clean and well furnished with a lovely view of the Ponds. Breakfast was excellent in quality and efficiently delivered.

Cons: The small breakfast room got very crowded and every time a person on the adjacent table got up, I found myself eating a fine breakfast with a backside a couple of inches from my face. Personal space was seriously compromised, unnecessarily so as there was plenty of room in adjoining eating areas to avoid cramming people in.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who are friendly, efficient and enthusiastic without being overbearing. Literally everything was great.

Cons: Air con only went down to 19 degrees - 17 would be better.

Pros: great pub, restaurant. good hotel room

Pros: Location, nice staff

Cons: The shower drain was blocked. Meaning a few minutes shower filled the shower room. I can't believe the hotel staff had no clue about this. Won't expect this from a chain like this.

Pros: Quite and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Big rom and good facilities ... bar, car park, breakfast, helpful staff(taxi)...

Cons: nothing

Pros: The pretty location which is easily located and provided with ample parking.

Cons: The furnishings are beginning to show their age.

Pros: The location was great and the room was good too.

Cons: The drinks at the bar are extremely expensive, furniture not particularly comfortable, but worse part about our stay was the breakfast. We got our tea, juice and toast, which we took to our table, but when we went to plate up our breakfast the food had run out and we had to wait about 10 mins in que for bacon, which we put on our plates in case ran out again along with some beans, then we waited a further 10 mins for the sausages and scrambled egg. Complete disaster as once we returned to our seats, toast and tea was cold. The bacon & beans had also gone cold. Not happy chappies!!

Pros: Convenient fir a wedding flexible staff

Cons: Lunch available even a sandwich

Pros: The hotel overlooks Epsom racecourse, so is handy if you're spending a day at the races. Quite easy to find from the motorway. Free parking, and spacious and safe car park directly outside the hotel. Breakfast was included and was delicious with lots of choice with staff replacing empty serving trays all the time. My room was clean and spacious and had a side view of the racecourse. Beverage facilities were in the room and replenished daily. Bed and pillows were so comfy!

Cons: Odd service at check-in - the woman first told me that she couldn't find my booking, then said I'd already been checked in! I'd taken an overnight flight and had booked the previous night so I could go straight to my room on arrival. Housekeeping were efficient but let themselves down a bit - had to hunt for the tv remote and found it under the bed (thank you to the guy on the front desk who assisted), and my night attire was thrown on the bed like a rag, yet they managed to place all four cushions back on the bed neatly.

Pros: The bed was comfy

Cons: There was no gluten free bread for breakfast, so I couldn’t have anything except a cup of tea.

Pros: Breakfast was a disgrace see below, hotel okay will stay there again But no food will be bought!!! The location near to my son and family.

Cons: The breakfast was dreadful!!! first morning it was like a war zone people everywhere and all very disgruntled lots complaining. There was no food left when we went down, after my husband complained then cold bacon and scrambled egg 'Lukewarm' no tomatoes no beans, had to wait for bread people lining up for bread!!!!! Very little choice not at all like the Premier Inns May be back to stay as it is situated 5mins from where our son and Family live, BUT not for food I am afraid!!!!

Pros: Bar was ok but no aircon .. Was a warm eve

Cons: I was put in the disabled room .. As hotel full was no other option ..

Cons: They never dumped the trash in our room or Changed the sheets. I was under the impression that was done with house keeping. If not than other than that excellent stay

Pros: The comfort zone of the premises

Cons: TV has a maximum volume which is not very loud - it is an inconvenience. It was not possible to turn it up beyond 15.

Pros: Room fantastic roomy and quiet . Love the big bath .Close to transport and near to lots of restaurants. Staff lovely .

Cons: The creamer for the tea is

Pros: Extremely modern, very clean located right in the main shopping centre of Orpington with public library very close by (good for printing out tickets).

Cons: Arrived about 10am and reception desk not staffed, the staff member who took my bag to store had no idea of where the R8 bus went from in Orpington. This is the bus to Charles Darwin house, and this hotel has a large picture of that house beside the reception desk. Also no leaflets in their tourist rack for Charles Darwin House. As I would imagine a large number of their visitors stay to go to Down House, it would be a good thing if staff had indepth knowledge of how to get there! The bed linen was good, but the bed was rather hard.

Pros: Very quiet room

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very central . Handy to get to London . Lively atmosphere

Cons: Not being able to open a window ...

Cons: Parking is a problem

Pros: Was very clean

Pros: Handy location for train to London. Nice clean room and comfy bed. Very quiet location - wouldn't know you were in the middle of the high street and shopping centre so great location for eating. Didn't have the breakfast but plenty of local cafes for breakfast.

Pros: It was very quiet. Location was good Food was good

Cons: State of room - cobwebs, dust, Bathroom bin not empty on arrival & floor was dirty.

Pros: Separate accommodation away from the pub, so was quiet. Evening food was excellent and the helpfulness of the owner and staff was amazing..nothing was too much trouble and very good advice. Lovely country feel to the pub and grounds. Have already booked for a return visit with breakfast this time...can't wait!

Cons: Rather funny that the pedal bin in the room didn't have an inner bin or base so items went straight on the carpet! There were no extra pillows even though it stated there was. Unfortunately we didn't realise this until late evening when the pub had closed and we also had to leave early in the morning before the pub was open so couldn't mention this. We are sure this would've been sorted if we'd noticed it earlier.

Pros: Lovely place, friendly staff, great breakfast, quiet, clean and good sized room with ample parking

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: The evening meal , rooms could do with a good clean

Pros: The whole experience staying at the Hawkenbury was better than expected the people there were great from the time we got there and all during our stay. I would with out hesitation recommend the Hawkenbury to family and friends.

Pros: It was quiet and rustic - in fact, we were the only people there

Cons: when I checked in I was told the whole amount was to be paid, even tho half had been deducted several months ago, - it was only when I queried it that it was agreed that he was uncertain as to how much was to be paid. Check out was unpleasant. Breakfast - Basic, and no-one there to give me a clean plate, or another knife, or more toast or anything at all - in fact, no-one there.

Pros: Very friendly staff. A great place to stay for a reasonable price

Pros: Very good value for money.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was fine.

Pros: Quiet cabins at the end of the garden

Cons: They could have asked how we like our eggs - we prefer scrambled eggs.

Pros: Breakfast was nice and the car parking space was very adequate. The room was okay

Pros: Being used to larger chain hotels this was 'different ' but pleasant .

Cons: NO RUNNING WATER on arrival ! Having driven down from Cambridge on a warm day we needed a shower before attending a wedding !! We had to brush our teeth using bottles water !

Pros: Staff was great the restaurant food was not very good compared to others in the area

Cons: The food in the restaurant

Pros: The breakfast was great. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons: The restaurant area needs a good clean round the windows and cills, The staircase carpet was worn and needed cleaning. The shower was difficult to control.

Pros: The staff

Cons: The food and it’s j. The middle of no where lots If single track roads

Pros: Breakfast was great, and the bar staff were helpful and friendly. Beautiful heritage building with heaps of character. Lovely backyard for enjoying a quiet drink in the open. Plenty of parking spaces. Room was comfortable and clean. (The toilet is a work of art!).

Cons: Communication problem re whether breakfast was included in our package.

Pros: Lovely building and beer garden with flowers. Fresh bed linen and spacious rooms and bathroom.

Cons: Noisy fan outside bedrooms. Seats need repairing in beer garden. Fruit would be good at breakfast.

Pros: Bathroom was ok.

Cons: Booked for three nights, they gave us room with no view, but ugly roof structure and noisy kitchen ventilation. House seemed to be old and corridors were smelly.

Pros: Nice toiletries and checking out the following morning.

Cons: The facilities were poor. Limited storage - the wardrobe would only be appropriate for a child! The toilet had a very noisy flush with the seat loose along with the toilet roll holder! There were stains on mattress and sheets. The pillows were uncomfortable - woke up with a stiff neck! The window was up too high making it difficult to open and shut! The room was small and dark and had a very damp smell! There weren't any chairs in the room! One of the staff called Tom made a rude comment saying that the window wasn't made for "the vertically challenged. The restaurant service next morning at breakfast was appalling! We were "greeted" by a very surly Head of Breakfast who, I feel, needed some customer service training! IMy wife was served 1 weetabix which tasted stale. No healthy options seemed to be available. There was no fruit and I didn't see any mention of a vegetarian option. We then waited over 20 minutes for our cooked breakfast and when it arrived my wife was given the wrong order. Her scrambled eggs were poor with a very small portion. Overall there was very little choice of breakfast. We had to ask for butter for our toast and the member of staff looked pained at our request! As the hotel is a pub as well there was noise from the bar and we faced the road and were disturbed in the early hours by heavy traffic noise. We were totally disgusted overall and can say honestly that the best part of being there was leaving the following morning. We will never visit the Leicester Arms again!

Pros: Utterly charming inn set in a wonderful environment, with Penshurst house and gardens just around the corner.

Pros: Charming period property in a quiet country village. No local shops but the property has a good bar, separate restaurant, nice patio garden and large car park. The staff could not have been more helpful and were unusually happy. The room was clean, the food was good and all in all a thoroughly good place to stay.

Cons: Stairs to top floor room

Pros: Pillows a it too firm for us beds fine Freedom to use the kitchen when we wish.

Cons: Sometimes other clients are not aware of the noise they make

Pros: location and room was very tidy and clean

Cons: everything was good

Pros: Very clean, staff kind and helpful

Pros: Very clean, spacious and has a fresh decor.

Cons: Property backs on to train line so it was very loud when the trains went past.

Pros: Nice big room, comfy bed and lovely shower

Cons: Unusual self service breakfast, no fruit available, tea, coffee and biscuits not replenished in room

Pros: The room was spacious, it was nice to be able to have the windows open at night - as it was on the 1st floor. Comfy beds, looks recently refurbished, very quiet street with plenty of parking outside off road, would imagine it could get busy on weekends in the summer, super close to Sutton High Street and Sutton Station. Very safe and quiet street.

Cons: The washing machine was in use 24/7 I would recommend installing a second washing machine. Breakfast goodies were supplied for us to cook (orange juice/milk/bread/butter/jam/cereal/egg/bacon), great idea! but I think some guests take advantage of this and I could smell bacon being cooked all hours of day and night, needless to say I never saw bacon available in the morning by 9am. While the manager was on site I never mentioned it to him so perhaps he would have offered us additional supplies but maybe there is a way to lock this fridge and only unlock it in the morning? For the communal fridge, one guest labelled a whole shelf - the biggest shelf of 3 just for her things... its an aparthotel with 18 rooms - it seemed very rude to me... we hardly had room to put our 2 small containers. The bathroom was well appointed and super modern and clean but such a tiny shower I am a UK8-10 and I think anyone larger than a UK16 would struggle. Having said everything nothing would stop me staying here again.

Pros: Breakfast is adequate .Location for Royal Marsden perfect.

Cons: Noisy neighbours!!

Pros: Close to the station, comfortable facilities and the you choose and cook what food you want. It’s a cross between self catering and a b & b.

Pros: Cleanliness and size of room. Helpful staff.

Pros: Very good hotel, clean and tidy. Nice personal as well. I will go back again. Thank you x

Pros: A beautiful old property in a great location with things to do in easy reach. The rooms had very good views looking out across the countryside and were air conditioned which was great in the recent hot weather (one negative was the fact the air conditioning was rather loud). The Rooms were very comfortable and clean and had everything we would expect or require.

Cons: The service though polite and generally ok - with a hotel of this standard and the price we paid I would expect it to be a little better. For example waiting to order drinks at the bar - there was not really a queue but the barman asked us to take a seat and he would come and take our order. After doing so he then returned to the bar and served 3 other people. I would have got my drinks far quicker had I just remained at the bar for 2 more minutes! Breakfast was the same very polite but rather slow.

Pros: The building itself is out if this world, love the architecture

Cons: Nothing to report

Pros: Superb view from the dining room.

Cons: Two poor design aspects in our room (number 2): a bath that is mounted so high that we had to request a step in order to get into it to have shower and a safe that is mounted on the floor so that one can only see the keyboard by lying on the floor ( at which point it is clear that nobody has dusted down there).

Pros: Location was absolutely beautiful - the restaurant and outside area has incredible views over a lake and valley. Building itself was fabulous and very grand, and the staff were mostly very helpful. The restaurant for dinner was amazing - in a beautiful part of the building with amazing views and really incredible food.

Cons: Just nitpicking - considering how incredible the restaurant is for an evening meal (really spectacular), the breakfast was a little underwhelming, including the leftover bread from the previous dinner's evening (great bread but a bit stale by morning!). The spa was also not particularly polished considering the price, although treatment was good.

Pros: The architecture. The attentiveness of the restaurant staff

Cons: The ongoing refurbishment with dust and noise, plus inconvenience in moving around the workplace. We were not alerted to this. Management gave an alternative room, but this should not have happened. We presume that under normal conditions, the place is pleasant.

Pros: They had good tv channels

Cons: Tired old fashioned decor throughout. Bar area lacked any life and the place was very difficult to navigate with inadequate/ insufficient signage directing to the appropriate room numbers.

Pros: n/a

Cons: System error cannot check in

Pros: Stunning build lots of original features.

Cons: Didn’t know till checked in that there was building /renovation work going on. It woke me earlier than i needed to be awake.

Pros: Lovely old building, comfy beds and cosy atmosphere. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

Cons: Stayed in July - room decor better suited to a cold winters night but lovely and traditional and welcoming.

Pros: Really good breakfast with a specific menu for cooked breakfast and other buffet options (fruit, cereals, yogurt, etc). The main hotel building and the surroundings are really beautiful and well preserved, it feels like living in a different era.

Cons: Our bedroom door was right next to the elevator so that was a bit annoying. The air conditioning unit also made some weird noises occasionally. Wasn't too bad, but definitely affected our experience.

Pros: the food was great ,staff friendly and helpful

Cons: The standard double room was tiny ,the bathroom was small only had a little shower no bath could of done with air con or bigger fan in room , stayed on the hottest days of year so sleeping was uncomfortable Would def book again but a bigger room .

Pros: Breakfast....although it cost £8.00 each

Cons: Very old pub with rooms so a little bit scruffy around the edges. Tiny room.

Pros: Breakfast and location were excellent. Staff were very helpful and accomadaing.

Pros: Amazing room, super comfy bed, attentive and helpful staff. Fantastic food! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cons: It was perfect!

Pros: The breakfast was very good Place had character Staff were very friendly

Cons: The evening meal - chicken Sunday roast was indifferent , very dried out Damp smell in bedroom especially the bathroom

Pros: Friendly staff. Nice beer and food clean room

Cons: Quite a small room and very very annoying auto lights in the bathroom, I really don’t need bright lights and a fan in the middle of the night. Quite expensive for what it was.

Pros: Attractive old building in a pretty village, quite close to the M20. It has plenty of parking space.A very helpful young man looking after both the bar and reception. The bar was well stocked with well kept beers. The dining room provided an interesting menu. The fish dish which I selected was excellent.

Cons: I had no particular complaints and will stay here again if I need to be in this area.

Pros: Service great menu and smoked pork

Pros: Character plus , comfortable room , good bathroom, good food , quiet area . Would have been nice to have a biscuit with tea & coffee . Although staff friendly would have been nice to meet owners

Cons: Accomodation & food a little over priced

Pros: The rooms were really comfortable with fantastic food!! The sticky toffee pudding is to die for!!

Pros: Hotel was fine, however we had to shorten our stay as my partner was unwell (nothing to do with hotel). Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Only issue was main restaurant menu was reduced significantly due to shortage of chefs (normally 3 - but only 1 available.) Hotel has extensive excellent bar menu - all cooked by same chef. Due to my partners disability we asked if we could eat a bar meal in the main restaurant as bar had very low tables and would be uncomfortable for him. Other guests also asked the same question - we were all told 'your'e not allowed to eat bar meal in main restaurant as determined by the Chef' !! The waitress told us the ordering tills were each dedicated to bar or restaurant menu's only. Why on earth you could not order in bar for a bar meal but served in the restaurant (next to the bar) was beyond all of us. - If restaurant had been fully booked - we could understand, but only 3 tables occupied and only one pre- booked ! The irony of all this is 'the bar meals when served had to come through the main restaurant to the bar anyway !!!! Very strange arrangement and caused frustration - definitely not serving the best interest of the customer!

Pros: A proper hotel, comfortable, welcoming, lovely rooms, good showers, good food & excellent breakfast

Cons: Nothing! I will go again.

Pros: Friendly staff Good food in the restaurant and good bar food. Particular thanks to Yassine and Evelin for their excellent customer service.

Pros: Nice looking good location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location perfect for visiting several National Trust and English Heritage properties including Chartwell and Down House

Cons: Shower room had no rail or hook for towels. This resulted in them being changed every day which was not necessary.

Pros: The room itself is clean and a reasonable size.

Cons: I needed to change the check in date as I was arriving a day later. I rang the hotel three times but the phone was never answered. I sent a message via booking.com and an email. I eventually got a call the day after original check in asking if I wanted the booking as I was a no-show. I had to explain that I tried contacting the hotel by all available means but there was no response. Also the kettle was not working my room, which I reported twice but it was never replaced.

Pros: Clean, air-conditioned room. Friendly (Italian) receptionist at check-in. Plenty of parking. Short walk to the nearest pub, serving good food, wines and beers.

Cons: I didn't have the breakfast on this occasion as I wasn't particularly impressed last time I stayed and at the price paid, which is far too high given the quality, I won't be having it again unless it's included in the price. A shame really as the hotel is very good otherwise and I will be staying in the area regularly on business. If your breakfast chef needs something to benchmark his quality against, send him to the café on London Road, West Kingsdown, opposite Blue Chalet Ind Estate. It's not a posh café by any stretch of the imagination, but the breakfast menu is excellent, freshly cooked, twice the size and served piping hot...….and all at half the price. I would pay your price (reluctantly and only for the sake of convenience), if it was of the same quantity and quality.

Pros: It’s actually really lovely, our room was perfectly clean and very modern & stylish. I can’t fault the place at all.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Cleanness and the staff were excellent in sociablethey were

Cons: They were very co-operative and helpful

Pros: All the staff were friendly especially the head chef Amro. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.
