Great short stay

Stayed in August 2025

Very noisy, but luckily from 23.30 it went quit but no big complaints that can be expected in a pub

Perfect location for travel and nice room and welcoming staff

Nothing

We were very surprised how busy it was, and how large the property is, full of charm. Plenty of room to sit, either at a table, on a sofa, or in the garden.

We were made to feel very welcome and our room was very comfortable. We stayed in Braeburn which was lovely and quiet

no issues

We were allowed to leave our bags in the room prior to booking in as we were returning later - which was handy. The staff were attentive and helpful. The room was comfy and the shower was nice an spacious and powerful. It was a lovely stay. The breakfast was delicious and the whole atmosphere of the place was tranquil and calm. Nice place to stay.

WiFi and Tv connection could have been better

Friendly reception from all staff encountered. Room clean and comfortable, breakfast excellent.

Bedroom on the small side. Space between end of bed & wall seemed about 2 feet - very narrow. If I were larger would have been an issue walking round it. Carpet in bedroom quite stained. Perhaps wood effect flooring an option?

It’s English pub atmosphere & decor

Loved everything! Great pub in a quiet village. Live music on the first Friday of each month. Stayed in the Empire room which has its own double doors out to a terrace on the first floor overlooking the garden & fields. Coffee machine, long mirror, fan, chocolate wine & a very comfy bed. Food, staff & service 5 ⭐️, highly recommend.

Nothing not to dislike. Next time I may stay longer to explore the area.

I loved everything about my stay. As others have posted, exceptional breakfast. I would have preferred a pot of coffee rather than a cup with my breakfast.

Nothing to complain about.

Very welcoming and helpful staff, who made us feel at home. The Duke William is a lovely pub and the attention to detail, down to liqueurs in the rooms, made it a memorable break. The breakfast was delicious. Easy access to Canterbury and surrounding areas makes it an ideal place to stay.

Always like a wardrobe but not a big deal.

A great place to stay offering lovely food in great surroundings. A slightly gentrified country inn that appears to be the heart of the community.The outside eating area in this heatwave was appreciated. Walk to the end of the garden to see four oast houses in a row. Great value considering other places in the area. No problem parking.

En suite bathroom could do with an upgrade. Steep steps to bedrooms not suitable for everyone.

The bedroom was lovely, if compact. Very nice outside space at back.

Nothing to report.

The whole experience was good from the point of arrival to leaving. This is a traditional pretty local pub in a beautiful part of Kent. When we arrived at about 5pm on a Monday evening , there were a dozen or more locals enjoying conversation and a pint at the end of their day. We were shown to a comfortable room and settled in. Later we enjoyed a very pleasant meal, I had a burger and my wife had chicken all correctly presented. There were good draft beers and I enjoyed a couple of pints of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord. In the morning, an excellent freshly cooked breakfast with friendly staff. Oh, and we were accompanied by our two dachshunds and they were made friendly too. An excellent start to our holiday, thank you!

excellent breakfast, excellent ensuite and shower

Our only small gripe was the internet dropping in and out and the shower grouting could do with a little attention.

Was a cosy room above a small village pub. Accomodating with a good breakfast.

Nothing - it was a fantastic stay!

This is perhaps one of the best pub hotel stays we have had! Staff, particularly Adam, were so lovely! We arrived late the the chef still kindly made us dinner, which was very good. I would highly recommend the stay for a family. We travelled as a family with our toddler. The room had blackout curtains (key for a summer bedtime), comfy extra single bed for my toddler, children menu and playground in the lovely garden. Our dog stayed for free. The room was comfy, and nice decoration. The details were really thought through, coffee machine, access to back up coffee & milk and complimentary port for sitting on the balcony! We will defiantly stay again next time we visit Canterbury!
