Great place to visit for a snack and a hot drink whilst on a ride or walk. Recommend the hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. A lot of building works have been completed recently so the area is looking fresh and welcoming with a new outside seating and canopy incase it’s raining. Thanks again for the great hospitality

Lovely staff and lovely venue to sit and watch the world go by. Great for four-legged friends as well. Always have a sausage roll and a drink whilst the dog has a ice cream. Can get very busy at times as it's a very popular place.

Fantastic place to stop for coffee and a snack if out walking or mountain bike riding like I was today. Had a flat white - was excellent as was the sausage roll. This will now be my preferred mid ride stop for this route. Blankets available with outside seating so you can enjoy a coffee even on those chillier days. Stopped by again a few days after this review mid ride. Coffee and steak pasty excellent. Really pleasant place to rest for a while by the river. PS be sure to look out for the bold as brass Robin who likes to snack on cake crumbs etc! June 2022 update - seats and chairs upgraded - this place continues to impress!

A favourite place to walk to, have a coffee and chill. It’s a perfect location, friendly staff and high quality food. For such a tiny place they do amazingly well. I’ve introduced many people to this little gem. The dog biscuits are genius. My dog won’t walk past without joining the queue for her biscuit so our furry friends approve too!!

I was here for a complimentary overnight stay and was very wowed. Though getting here was a challenge from the train station, no local taxi service or Uber available, no walking paths, best bet is to drive! We waited for a while before the hotel then sent some of their colleagues who eventually picked us up. From the moment we drove into the grounds, it was stunning. Such a pleasurable group of staff who catered for our needs efficiently! We got checked into our rooms (each room has its own theme and no one room is alike) I stayed in the main building however there are nice cost cottages for families with kids etc The dinner was amazingly spectacular! Beautifully curated by their chef 😋🤤 So so great tasting honestly, he grows his own herbs and vegetables used and products are sourced locally from farms. They have their own bees that produce honey and lambs on the grounds. With vast acres of grounds, a lake, converted stable, conference and meeting rooms, private dining spaces, and so much more...this is one hotel that feels like a family home. The staff are happy and the guests seem happy too. The closest train station is lenham from London Victoria. The breakfast was beautifully presented to my room with so much to eat and their afternoon tea is one of the best around there. They host large outdoor events as they have the capacity for it. You will be pleasantly surprised with little touches of care and professional hospitality when you visit. We had a wine tasting dinner which was pretty good though I am non alcoholic 😊 the mocktail was lovely 😍 I recommend for all your event types as staff is happy to accommodate and tailor their services to your request.

My wife and I attended an 80th birthday party for my father in-law.The event was mainly planned by Becky.My sister in law was able to access the rooms beforehand to decorate and Becky kindly assisted which she was very grateful for. The room looked amazing but it was also the amazing service provided by herself and all the other staff at the hotel. The service was wonderful. kiera and Becky looked after us making us all feel at home.There are too many names to mention they were excellent.Thank you for making it such a special day.

For an Xmas treat I took my girlfriend & my parents (50th wedding anniversary celebration) to Chilston Manor to stay in feature rooms (Regency & Hogarth) along with an evening meal. I have to say the whole experience was above and beyond what we were xpecting. Everything from the welcome to the cocktails, food to the walk around the grounds was exceptional. Thankyou to you all for making our stay just seem magical, it was a time that will live long in my memory. We laughed, ate, drank and discussed to the early morning and then some. Just simply amazing.

A wonderful time staying here for the night. It was reasonably priced which meant the experience could go either way (good or bad) after reading the reviews I decided to book and very unusually the great reviews were right….the staff here absolutely make the place. The gentleman on checking couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The standout here however is the bar/restaurant which although pricey is outstanding….many restaurants these days promise fine dining and forget that includes the service as well. Matt in the restaurant deserves a shout out of his own, his attention to detail while serving was impeccable. Service with style. The grounds in the hotel are jaw dropping….our visit was winter with a howling gale outside (which did make the hotel feel more cosy) but during summer I’m guessing this hotel is absolutely beautiful with grounds to stroll around. Rooms are very nice if slightly dated….(that’s my only criticism) for me the rest of the hotel well and truly made up for this. Oh and the fast WiFi worked everywhere….why do so many hotels drop this now vital ball? I will stay here for business trips now too.

I have just had Sunday roast. It was so tasty and the best roast I've had in a very long time. The staff were very attentive. There was a nice buzzy atmosphere. Such a beautiful place. Well done. We will be back.

A far cry from a truckers café, this local coffee house offers a cosy seating area with a modest menu. The interior is well decorated. There is a standard selection of hot items with a range of cakes that also cater to vegan requirements. Parking is easily found on the road, or it's a walk away for local residents who tend to come here and socialise in small groups. Prices are what you would expect.

Went here for breakfast. Dog friendly cafe. Had the 'Hair of the Hound' full English breakfast which was ok. Wife had Gluton Free (GF bread was not good). Fast service and Friendly staff. Recommendations: clean the windows from the cobwebs and flys, not nice when your eating.

Came here with my two dogs on the second day of the opening under the new owner. Love the decor. Dog bowls on the floor, free dog treats and tables and chairs outside with lovely throws to use. I had a really tasty jacket potato and a beautiful home made cake. Has a good selection of gluten free and vegan options of savoury and sweet items. Throughly recommend

We all had a lovely afternoon tea at Baskervilles Coffee House. The traditional tea had a good selection of savoury and sweet treats. The child's tea also had a good selection, having changed the sandwich fillings to known favourites. Our dog certainly enjoyed her afternoon tea too and it was great to be able to give her something designed for her instead of snuffling our sausage rolls. The staff were really happy, polite and chatty. This is a wonderful little coffee shop and a great place to visit if you want to sit with your dog.

Really pleased with the work he carried out swiftly and it was obvious that he really knew what he was doing and improved the connections for my shower switch.. Very nice chap and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Best electrician around. Recommended via family, Jack and his team will be our point of contact moving forward for any electrical needs Jack has worked endless on our new home (from a new fuse box, to changing any light fixtures etc) and has a real touch for perfection and more importantly is completely transparent on what needs doing and doesn’t. I’ve been misquoted before via people in the trade and it’s refreshing to speak to someone transparent and honest. His work speaks for itself and highly recommend.

Great communication all the way through, very prompt, thorough and did a really great job. Would definitely use Waller Electrical Services again for any electrical issues we have

We had a nice Sunday lunch at this ancient pub just off the A249 at Detling. We received a warm welcome and were shown to our table the old wood beamed interior. As it was a Sunday we chose the roast but started with a baked camembert. There really wasn't enough bread to dip but they happily supplied more when I asked. The roast lamb and chicken meals were tasty and served nice and hot with a good selection of vegetables. Personally I would have liked my potatoes a little more crispy but my wife was happy with them. After a little break we had dessert. Etom Mess sundae which was a little lacking on the meringue front and a hit Cherry sundae with cherry brandy which was very tasty indeed. The staff were very pleasant and checked back to see if our food was ok and it was easy to attract someone's attention to get another drink etc. Our two courses each,shared starter and two non alcoholic drinks came to £76 which included an added on service charge. There is a free onsite car park.

Lovely place good for a meal with the fellas, lovely atmosphere, only have two issues. 1. Chips are slightly overcooked but still are delicious. 2. The playlist needs a little more reggae

Nice breakfast, I opted for a set breakfast of sausage, two rashers of bacon, chips, beans, toast and a fried egg along with a can of drink for £9.00. Some of the chips were a little overcooked/crunchy but the rest of the breakfast was nice. They operate a loyalty scheme of a free meal once you have collected 8 stamps from paid meals, they have the same offer regarding drinks too. They have customer toilets which were clean and in decent condition. If you found this review helpful please click on the heart icon, thanks.

What can I say…. This cafe is amazing . Popped in while walking past and ordered 2 set breakfasts and two cans of cherry coke. Our order was taken by a attentive waitress and when the food turned up it was just what we needed , not greasy and cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work cafe Riviera . Five ⭐️

Outstanding venue! Excellent value for our accommodation because it was out of season and they’re looking to build trade. We didn’t eat there because although the food looked to be high quality it was unaffordable, given that the variety of food on offer was no different from the normal pub offer. For example, four small portions of bread cost £4.50, yet when I bought a whole loaf it was £4.00. Porridge alone for breakfast would have cost £6.00! Fortunately we had taken our own food to support my dietary requirements.

We stayed at the Plough Inn last weekend and would highly recommend it. From the picturesque surroundings to the high quality accommodation. The food was fantastic and we were really well looked after. The staff were lovely; both friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go back. Thanks for a lovely weekend! Look forward to seeing you again.

Firstly, absolutely beautiful food. We had the soup, lamb, crab tacos and the pie followed by deserts. All top class and faultless. Lovely atmosphere in the pub. Secondly, the room was amazing. Panoramic views of the countryside and far reaching views of the sea. Breakfast was also amazing, which was delivered to us at the morning. Excellent service and staff. We will definitely be returning, next time with the pooches!

Tried this place for the very first time and it won’t be the last. Food was lovely. Not greasy. We were first in on a Sunday morning and although it was chilly in there they soon warmed it up. I had the veggy breakfast as you cannot swap items and I don’t like bacon. Every set breakfast had bacon. That is my only complaint. Not bad eh? There were five of us and everyone’s food was hot, delicious and plentiful. Will definitely be back.

Our son decided to treat us to a new restaurant venue for our wedding anniversary. We were delighted he had chosen this establishment. It was a lovely setting, just outside the Leeds Castle grounds in Kent. On this day, it wasn't particularly busy, so we had a reasonably quiet setting with a magnificent view of the castle from the terrace. The service here was exemplary. The staff were very attentive. We were able to choose from the evening menu, and this was bought out in virtually no time at all. My son had the battered fish, my wife, the beefburger, and I the 8oz Ribeye steak. All were very well presented. I have given 4 stars because I wanted a medium cooked steak and received medium rare. Also, the chips I received had quite a few bits of batter in them. This suggests that either they've used the same vat to cook the fish and chips. Or, they stored the chips in the same area/tray as the fish. This did not though spoil the meal. Hats to the pastry chef!! The deserts were absolutely gorgeous. No complaints there. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. The service is impeccable. I would definitely recommend it. You will need to book, as this requires a gated entry at most times of the day.

I had a solo meal while staying for the evening. Staff were friendly and welcoming, attentive and professional. I didn't have to wait for service, the whole team worked well together and everything flowed perfectly. The duck was cooked to perfection and the lemon tart was the best I've tasted in a long while. The ambiance and dining room itself was well laid out. I will be booking to go back again.

Lovely food with an amazing view of the castle. Apparently they had a new menu, we had crab pate and the mackerel which were both lovely and amazingly presented, mains we had confit duck which was delicious. Wish there was just a bit of green on the plate but other than that can't moan as it was all cooked perfectly and the flavours were amazing!

I went to Castle View Restaurant with my mother for lunch last Tuesday, and we had such a fantastic experience. For Lunch, I had a jacket potato with baked beans, but I asked to not have the side of dressed leaves as I don't like salad dressing at all and the waitress completely understood, which was great. My mother ordered a jacket potato also but with cheese and coleslaw and side salad, and both our dishes arrived at our table in precisely six minutes; I've never been served so fast at any other restaurant before. My jacket potato was really tasty and because I had no side salad, i got extra baked beans! I would like to thank all the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant for being so efficient and serving our food so well with a smile on their faces.

Ordered a mocha however it was so sweet I was only able to have a few sips. The bagel however was soft and lots of creamy cheese which is really nice. I had the salmon bagel and it was nice. Edit review : went back for brunch had the mocha again but this time asked for half sugar and it was perfect . Again had the salmon bagel was still really nice .
