My second visit, was great as always
3-night trip

Great stay. Food is always amazing and the breakfast a service is outstanding. The only things that i would recommend is just a little Renovation to the standard rooms would make it five star all rounds.

Nicely situated pub / hotel for the nearby historic dockyard and Rochester town (and Fort Amhurst) Easy check in. Nice room with waterside view (standard room) Comfy bed and compact bathroom with lots of toiletries. Bar and restaurant both excellent with a good range of local beers and food. Nice covered area on the quay for boat and people watching and lots of outside seating for when the weather is more clement. Great value for money if you're in the Chatham area. £10 trip into town on the Uber or an hour walk (not the prettiest!)

Check in was great, staff checked cars into the parking system for the duration of the stay, food was excellent, room was clean, the staff were all great, lots of choice of eating establishments, but I wouldn't have wanted to have missed out on an evening meal here either

Really nice pub and hotel. Good was excellent!! We stayed on the weekend so it was about loud (not their fault) but customers were very loud and shouting outside. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

Nice cosy room and big bath. Nice to have bar and restaurant on site. Walking distance to shopping and the historic dockyard. Friendly staff. Free parking. Nicer to be overlooking the marina than the dockyard where other hotel is situated.

4/10

Unfortunately our stay was badly affected by the restaurant being closed on arrival. We turned up at 8.03pm after a 3hr drive and was told the kitchen shut at 8pm. Felt this was very poor and they could have shown us a little more empathy. I would be more understanding had the restaurant times be detailed on any of our booking correspondence or on the hotel advert (the breakfast times are detailed). If that had been the case, we would have know and stopped to eat on the way. It's a shame as it's usually a good restaurant. This could have been very easily avoided and ruined our stay.

I go regularly and the stay is always great. The food is great, the only thing that wish is the breakfast starts earlier as they start at 7.30, so it can be a rush to eat and go, overall fantastic stay and will go again.

We had a good overnight stay and meal in restaurant. Only issue was lack of plug sockets by the mirror to dry hair, and lighting could have been a bit brighter
