Despite a conversation in advance, there was a mix up with the booking, but the staff were excellent at resolving it. TV in my room didn't turn off, other than by switching it off at the wall. Excellent bed, really comfy. Lovely cotton sheets and squashy pillows. Delicious breakfast - and the staff offered to flex what they offered to suit my requirements.

A non slip mat in the shower would be a good idea... Also there is very uneven surface by the door to the rooms, which I had trouble with, esp unfortunate as I'm on crutches after foot surgery. It would help to fix it, or put hazard tape there to warn people.

Dinner was absolutely superb. Generous portions. The asparagus starter was to die for and my family loved their steak and ale pies. So much so, that we asked to compliment the chef who was thrilled. Breakfast was great, generous portions again. The room was very comfortable and being on a main road the pub was located conveniently for where we came from and were going to. Not too noisy and I could imagine sitting outside on a summer's evening having a drink. Loads of parking at the back of the pub. My cousin had gifted us a bottle of wine before we arrived and we were offered a selection to choose from. Staff was very knowledgeable about the local vineyards. Scarlet took care of us and was incredibly friendly! Beverly was on duty the following morning and was great.

A few drinks that we requested were not available - specifically cinzano (yeah, I know it's old fashioned) and there was no port to end off the meal?

Beautiful pub/hotel in Kent countryside. Loved the period features of the rooms. Tables outside to enjoy nice weather for a drink. Garden to the side again if weather nice.

Room was not ready on arrival, did find rubbish from previous guest in the room behind the arm chair in a plastic bag and also found an empty plastic bag behind footstool in the room. Disappointed because of it being Sunday full menu was not on offer. Young lady who greeted on arrival showed us to our room was lovely. She was also on duty following morning. Staff who were on duty in the evening need to be aware guests can hear their conversations.

The customer service at the Tickled Trout was amazing, even though this pub is part of the Balfour chain, it felt like an independent establishment, I was shown to my room and given a quick run through of the TV, bathroom taps - they're jazzy and some local information which was really nice touch. In addition to this, I was impressed by the hotels move towards sustainable travel, for example, there were no unnecessary miniatures in the bathroom, instead the hotel uses maxi bottles for Shampoo, Conditioner and shower gel and the water in the room was provided in a glass bottle....nice! Importantly, the room was spacious and clean and included sockets next to the bed and desk to help with charging devices or when working late into the evening. Unfortunately I had to leave before breakfast was served but the team prepared something for me to take away which was really nice of them and helped to set me up for the busy day ahead. If you are a business traveler looking for a reasonably priced and quiet stay I recommend this venue.

Really nice country pub, bar and restaurant. Clean. Good location, parking.

Room was lovely, comfortable - but it was over the kitchen. From early evening music started plus loud humming which we realised was from the fans. The kitchen turned off the music but could not turn off the fans. Staff were busy from party in marquee - said the only free room would be noisy from that. It stopped once the kitchen stopped working but that was later in the evening and spoiled the quiet we needed from a long day and journey.

Staff were particular friendly and welcoming without being overbearing. Facilities were faultless. unfortunately, we arrived late, travelling from Liverpool so weren't able to sample the evening menu. If breakfast was anything to go by, sure this would have been great. I would definitely recommend to others and I will be using again when I'm working in the area.

There isn't anything I didn't like. The whole experience was above my expectation, which wasn't too shabby to start with! If I had the time again, I would have wished for the traffic to have been better on route so we could've enjoyed the evening menu. There's not a thing that the staff at the tickled trout can do to change the combined fortunes of the M6 and the M25 so called 'smart' motorways though!

Mark and his team of staff have been so accommodating with everything, will be back. Loved the big fluffy towels, bed was fantastic, a room facilities. A lovely place for any occasion, and for anyone who has a wedding at The Gardens in Yalding only 10 minutes away.

Booked a room for 3 nights, with a bath, however we were given a room with only a shower. We were offered a move by Mark the next morning, however we were getting married that day, and we actually liked the room Leslie's, at the back, so decided to stay.

Easy to find,we stayed in “Luke’s room” and it was absolutely stunning,exposed beams and very stylish furnishings,all dog friendly,we even had a bowl set and lovely bed for our dog in the room,lovely garden and outdoor seating with a restaurant and very tasty food at reasonable prices,staff couldn’t do enough for you,lovely little village,lots of walks,would definitely recommend

Nothing to complain about

Very comfortable room and a good breakfast. We had the upgraded room at the rear which for the small cost was good value and possibly a little quieter as overlooked the rear rather than the road Good tea coffee in room Illumination in the bathroom was a bit dim as the light had failed on the mirror,

one suggestion, for those staying a few days the lack of any drawers in the room would leave you living out of a suitcase, a small antique chest of drawers wold cost next to nothing, fit in well and fill a gap!

Huge bed, luxury bathroom with designer faucet and sink. There was a real coffee machine and a good one. Not just a kettle and some powder bags, but actual proper coffee. I made good use of that. When you come downstairs in the bar/restaurant area, I was greeted friendly and it felt warm and cozy. If you don't come for the rooms, do come for the restaurant. The food is exeptional and there is a wide range of wines to choose from. I believe they are part of or own a winery and apple orchard and they offer their own local products aswell. I bought a few of them. I heared the owner has French roots and considering what they offer in the menu and the quality of the food, it is not that far fetched. 10/10 would book again
