Small attention to detail lets this fabulous establishment down slightly, other wise fine.

English breakfast was very good. John is a very good host.

The red carpet leading to excellently decorated and furnished rooms gives a wrong and poor impression as to what awaits. The room was not quite ready on our arrival which was considerably later than check in. The seating near disabled toilet needs changing or dresser moving and a partition shielding the doorway as not a welcoming sight when you walk in from a great nights sleep for your breakfast.

Very relaxing and a great base for exploring Kent.

Delicious breakfast, cooked to order. Very comfortable large room with big TV and tea/coffee faci!ities. Bath/hand towels provided. Lovely large bed which was very comfortable. Our hosts were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend a stay here and it was right by the river.

a very easy and comfy overnight stay.

I was attending a wedding in which i was a bridesmaid and the staff were really helpful with checking in and dropping my overnight bag with them. I was pleased to have a great sized room with comfy bed and an ensuite and a great breakfast in the morning.

Ferry Grov e Inn

We liked the location by the river. The host was a very friendly lady and we were made to feel welcome. Breakfast was very good but a little cold.

The room, we were in The Bull dog room, we wasn't expecting a themed room and it wasnt our cup of tea. The mattress on the bed wasn't great. The room was very hot and needed a good clean. The bathroom was in need of some work the shower door was broken and the toilet seat did not fit properly. The window in the room only opened slightly. And the noise in the car park wasn't good and kept us awake.

Great room, Comfortable bed lovely location The staff provided ice packs as my wife had fallen over in Canterbury earlier in the day, a very kind and thoughtful gesture

Happy to go back again

Staff were very pleasant and attentive and really worked hard to look after us. Breakfast was good too

There was a slight cleaning issue but apologies were rapid and it was not serious enough to affect our enjoyment of the stay

The landlord and landlady are very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was very good, the room was comfortable, we stayed in 'The Gin and Tonic' that faced the river so a pretty view was had.

They omitted to advise that the restaurant was closed on Mondays, so we had to go out to another for food and therefore was late to our evening outing. The room had no bottled water supplied for our return and the outside lights failed to turn on when we returned from our evening out and I fell due to a pothole in the carpark area. The Manager advised both the above would be addressed, but never offered any discount against our booking for the failures or missing services. The Landlord should not be held accountable for the slightly tired look of the premises they have done everything they can and love the pub/restaurant very much - The breweries should be doing more to assist these people.

Great location, clean comfortable room with lovely view of river. Friendly staff. We will return

The pub/ hotel is in a beautiful location. The room was clean & comfortable.

There was a faint small of damp in the room, it didn’t put us off staying in the room. Just kept balcony doors open. The food was just about average & luke warm (both pub lunch & breakfast) Saying this we would return on room only basis.
