I had a really comfortable night at this hotel. The rooms are extremely quiet, well-equipped with a coffee pod machine, premium bedding, and superior fittings. The service was friendly and inviting, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful. The location is central, making it convenient to access various sites in Kent and East Sussex. The dining experience was a bit inconsistent, but overall good. The facilities were well-maintained and offered a comfortable stay.
The hotel is situated right in the heart of Cranbrook, making it ideal for exploring tourist sites like Sissinghurst and Bodiam Castle. The rooms are spacious and unexpectedly lovely, while the service is top-notch. However, the dining experience could use some improvement with delays in orders. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quiet and comfortable rooms at this hotel, ensuring a great night's sleep, despite the initial issue with a window that couldn't close properly. The service was impeccable, with friendly and professional staff who made my stay enjoyable. The location, right in the heart of Cranbrook, offered a convenient base to explore the area, although it could get a bit noisy at times.
