    An ok stay.

    The rooms are dated and the pub not very inviting, too many 'bits' and too many table and chairs, and lots of lights. It could be made into a beautiful country pub, but needs the interior to be thought through.

    Nice breakfast

    very tired rooms and very tired hostess. Staffing issues caused delays to food serving, not what you want when you are going to eurotunnel.

    Food was ok.

    Slightly leaky plumbing but that was explained on arrival. Everything worked fine! Our room/bathroom needed some upgrading (not sure about others). However we slept really well!

    Excellent location for Eurotunnel. Comfortable bed, good night's sleep. Nice and quiet. Excellent breakfast!!

    My 6 year old son learnt a new word after reading the signs up re: the use of macerated toilets- so that was a fun conversation we didn't overly need to have.

    Nice hosts and location, shame about the bedrooms.

    When we arrived we were an hour early for check in, so we asked the young man at reception if the room was ready as we were a bit early. We were a bit shocked when he said the room was ready but if we wanted it an hour early there would be an extra charge of about £22. We have never experienced this before and declined the offer and said we would return in an hour. Thank god we did as when we did get our room I would have been very upset at paying a penny more than the original booking, as the room was awful, it was tiny, cramped old fashioned and in dire need of an update. The TV was very small and squashed on to a table pushed against the wall and had about 3 boxes to get it working, we had to call someone to explain how to use it. The bathroom although clean was not inviting to use as it was so old. We did ask to change rooms but no others were available.We were very disappointed and thought of leaving but the host chatted to us and explained in detail that they were working very hard at renovating the whole pub and had just finished the downstairs and that the other rooms were next. The room we had was the worst room(size wise) and she was very apologetic. However, it did affect the enjoyment of our stay!

    The owner was very nice and welcoming and explained that they had recently taken over the pub and was in the process of updating the upstairs bedrooms. The downstairs area was lovely, the bar and restaurant area was well decorated and clean.The breakfast was very good and we ate in the bar for our evening meal which was plain but well cooked homemade food. It is in a lovely location near Hythe town and a short drive to other interesting areas to visit.

    Not a dislike, but I would have liked the restaurant to have served dinner a little later.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was a decent size, clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very good and reasonably priced. As I was leaving early the following morning they prepared a takeaway snack, sandwich, crisps and juice, which was left at my room door to collect when I left.

    Music in the bar is very loud due to the low ceiling and speakers being badly sited. Very difficult to hear the bar staff. Did not affect our room at all.

    Welcome and laid back in a quiet village-like area. There is a one-star restaurant about 50m away but I suspect you would have to book months in advance. Breakfast good, there's a well-stocked mini-mart 70m away and a Waitrose about 5 minutes into Hythe.

    The shower head in the room badly leaked, but which was easily to mended. WiFi has weak in the room and the TV didn't seem to work.

    This is a lovely location in the village of Saltwood. On arrival the welcome was very pleasant. Unfortunately the WiFi was not brilliant and the Sky TV was problematic. They catered for a vegetarian diet and the staff were very hospitable. The evening menu was also veggie friendly.
