Large rooms but very dated especially bath room toilet areas and old type odour. Can’t enjoy lake views during winter as no outside lighting,so when book in after 3pm can’t see anything.

Really dog friendly. Great staff. Spacious rooms. Requested a quiet room as there was an event on the night we were staying and the staff allocated a room right away from the main area - really pleased that they helped us with that request.

Came into Gravesend from London for a friend's funeral. Checked in early without any charge...room was spacious and warm, loved my room as it had the LAKE view, very relaxing. Food (breakfast and lunch) was nicely cooked, fresh and hot. Adequate lighting in room and bathroom. Water temperature was perfect. Beautiful and efficient staff. Thank you 😊 💓. I will be visiting again
