Parking was straightforward. Hotel and the restaurant are in good order. Staff are excellent and well trained. Rooms were clean and tidy. There was everything you could possibly need but the landing area could do with a paint - thats my only negative observation

Overnight stay

Second visit, great service, excellent food in the evening and choice of breakfast, had a room with a view this time, was more spacious and overlooked the marina, thanks for another great stay, lovely evening walks by the river or a nice pint outside. Handy for the Dockyard next day

Good restaurant

Lovely hotel, good restaurant and great location for visiting the historical dock yard and call the midwife film location. The only bad thing was, i couldn't turn the tap off in the shower and there was a funny smell in the bathroom ( constantly) i would stay here again.

A busy modern pub with separate restaurant and a small hotel. Room well appointed and clean, we had a waterfront room with large patio. Breakfast a little disappointing, very small buffet with limited options but a reasonable cooked breakfast menu.

Lovely, historic pub walking distance from the Chatham Dockyards. Nice rooms, nice staff, great setting. Breakfast was excellent each day. Dinner was even better. Chatham Dockyards are definitely worth a visit and the pub is just a short walk away. Also, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle are a short drive away and touring them made for a lovely day. The area around the pub is very walkable and there is an outlet mall just across the road.

We stayed recently on the 23rd May 2025. The staff were incredibly well mannered - especially receptionist Becky. The stay was very clean, safe and comfortable. Next time we come back to the area we will be staying for sure. Would reccomend.
