Nice & handy country pub.
Lovely quaint pub in the countryside. Breakfast & dinner was lovely, the staff are great & work hard to keep guests happy.
The accommodation is in a building in the back garden, a big building housing 16 rooms.
The rooms were clean but a little ‘tired’ looking. The silicone could do with replacing around the bath as could the floor grout but whilst simple it was clean. The beds were only double so a little on the small side.
Fire doors made the building noisy, people don’t seem able to hold a door & close it quietly so we were up at 6am!
Room and bathroom a bit dated and tired and did not think it was worth the price paid. Air conditioning was great. Service at breakfast was a bit chaotic - no mugs or glasses and it took a long time to get served, although good when it arrived.
Lovely place. Good location. We were there for a wake following a cremation, and then an overnight stay. The staff were lovely and the food prepared for the wake and breakfast was very good. At a difficult time it was something at least we did not have to worry about.
All was good, except waiting for the cooked breakfast to arrive for 45 minutes after ordering. It was clear that staff were struggling to cope with the number of guests they had in the room.
Absolutely loved this hotel. The beds were very comfortable (soft and firm at the same time). The shower was warm enough. The grounds are beautiful and we took a walk around the area. The bar/restaurant was very enjoyable. The staff is top notch sweet and made sure we were comfortable!
Staff, accommodation and room excellent.
Breakfast exceptional!!!
Even though work was being carried out, did not affect our stay at all.
Thank you Evenhill
Very clean with good quality toiletries and good selection of drinks. Comfy bed and great breakfast
Let down by being quite dated bathroom and furniture, some decor needed but super value for money
Really enjoyed our second stay at The Evenhill. Room very clean & comfortable. All the staff were very friendly & helpful. Food was excellent with large choice at reasonable prices & breakfast was just as good as the dinners. Conveniently located for coastal resorts such as Broadstairs & Herne Bay. Recommend The Evenhill for a relaxing break.
