Gem in East Malling. Everything about the room was well thought of. Clean bathroom & room. Nice stocked up options for breakfast,tea,coffee and even hot chocolate facilities. If you've paid for breakfast then it's continental with loads of options for cereals and even porridge. Parking is accessible too. Right infront of your room.

We had a very nice meal which was reasonably priced. Some elements of the decor need some attention

We were looking for a 'pub lunch' and this place ticked all the boxes. Food was very nice, couldn't fault the service and a very friendly atmosphere. Obviously a dog friendly pub, was great seeing so many people enjoying each other's company in a warm friendly environment. Well worth a visit. We didn't stay so can't comment on the rooms but from the outside they looked nice.
