Top Places and Services in Betteshanger, Kent

The Rose was very nice but agree with other commenters that there are a few things that could be changed fairly easily to improve it.
Decor throughout is very lovely but could do with a bit of a deep clean. I think the rooms allow dogs but the pink carpet on the stairs was disgusting - so stained and you could see dog hairs everywhere, just needed deep cleaning. Same for the green bench chair in the dining room, lovely colour but so many stains that you suspect a wet clean could take care of. Our bedroom also had lots of dust in all the corners (near furniture, in the bathroom).
The food was good (we only had breakfast) but the service let it down a bit. We rushed somewhat to make sure we got downstairs with time to spare before 10am, but it took over ten minutes to order our food, and the young man/boy (he looked very young!!) who took our orders seemed to be doing anything but take them (and same for the table next to us). Our room included breakfast but we were handed a menu with prices on, then asked doesn’t our room include breakfast (I think all of them do?). He had to go away and ask this, clarified it did include breakfast, then when we asked what it included (ie two courses) he had to check that again. I would have thought that would be part of the basic training! When we got drinks the day before there were four people in and out behind the bar but the whole process also seemed quite chaotic.
We had to be in Deal anyway that night and I think it seems like the nicest place to stay there, but I think if you’re wanting to do a nice foodie weekend away there are better places in general.

The rose offers a great dining experience, with exceptional starters that steal the show—flavorful, creative, and beautifully presented. Tatare and smoke potatoes were the stars! The mains were solid and satisfying, though less remarkable. The warm atmosphere and friendly staff made the visit even better. Definitely worth a visit! Not sure if there is any parking for the hotel guests as i just visited for the food, there is plenty of street parking available around

The hotel and restaurant were great in many ways but they have some weaknesses that are easily addressed.
-Rooms do not have air conditioning and become unbearably hot in the summer.
-Curtains in room barely block any light, and windows are old, single-pane glass which does not block any sound: you can hear conversations going on at the road level.
-Coffee served for breakfast is awful, whereas the rest of the food is great.

Beautiful hotel, very stylishly decorated and the staff are so so amazing and accommodating. The rooms themselves are all unique and quirky, with such comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. The hallways have little treats & drinks available, the breakfast is delicious (loved the granola, coffee & eggs.) We also had dinner one night in their restaurant which was fab.

Deal itself has a great vibe, really laid back and loads of independent stores and everyone is lovely. Gorgeous walks along the beach too. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Booked a table for 2 last Monday, had a really lovely time. We’ve always loved coming in for drinks, finally decided to book a table one evening. Food was delicious as expected, for starters we had these crispy potatoes which were on the sides menu, along with olives, scallops and an oyster which i really wanted to try! Starters were really tasty, the flavours and combinations are brilliant! Our mains and desserts were also lovely. I like that the menu has pre dinner drinks and after dinner drinks recommendations. Service was lovely and as always will be coming back to the rose! Forgot to take pictures because the food is served so nicely and its all so tasty that you just forget to! But heres one picture of the dessert.
