Love how unique it was. Is in a beautiful destination, where you have your own access to your bedrooms with your own bathroom. The spa bath was lovely literally just like a jacuzzi. Staff were lovely and friendly.

The accommodation was quirky and something different to the norm. It was like a hobbit house - rather endearing!

What a great place, beautiful old pub, with 6 new mezzanines in a separate building. No noisy roads, only singing birds.
Breakfast is served in the room, great. Excellent dinner.
This friendly hotel with spacious accommodation rests in a peaceful country location just 10 minutes’ drive from Ashford Eurostar Rail Station.

I liked the cleanliness of the rooms and the decor. It was so peaceful and quiet. We felt like we were the only ones in the hotel, and that's what needed at that time. The staff went the extra mile to make sure that our stay was perfect.
The Dog & Bear was very comfortable. Great to have a bath with really hot water after a hard day walking the Pilgrims Way. Food was just what we needed, well cooked, filling and tasty. Staff were helpful friendly and interesting. Other places are available to eat. Many wonderful historic buildings in Lenham. Easy walk to the train station.

A lovely, very quaint village with friendly local people.
Next time I stay, I will hopefully take in a stroll, the weather wasn't great, for the short time we were there.
I can imagine during the Spring and Summer months, how beautiful the village square would be.

Incredible walks through fields just past the medieval church. I went to the local shop to buy some dog food and they let the dog in. I chatted to locals and visited some more of the shops all dog friendly. The village is beautiful and has a range of pubs and restaurants which I didn’t get chance to use. It was a really nice place to stay for a night. I would have like to have stayed longer. To top it off I heard a nightingale on my walk. I’ll definitely be back. I stayed in a dog friendly room at the Dog and Bear - lone female traveller with a small dog.

We went to Chapel Down vinery for a tour before staying at Lenham. The Dog and Bear was a little further than we expected down a lot of very scenic country roads but we had a very enjoyable stay for one night.

Lenham is a very pretty village with get friendly people who we met when walking our dog. We enjoyed eating In the evening either at The Dog and Bear Hotel or at the Square Fish Cafe opposite the hotel as they both had excellent food.

Sweet, quintessential English village.
Sweet, quintessential English village. The Bow Window coffee shop is first rate both food and staff. Under new management since beginning of February 2020.
Close to Leeds Castle and Chilston Park Hotel amongst beautiful countryside.
Check In was good hassle free. Room was still being worked on but no probs with that. Attached Hotel bar is nice, friendly and has live sports. Room was quiet and you have secure doors after 10pm so you can let yourself in. breakfast very good and you could ask for more tea and coffee.
Very convenient for Leeds Castle and Maidstone shopping. Village is practically unchanged which is nice and of course the Fish Restaurant was excellent in the Square.
I am blown away by the service we received! We attended the Chilston Park Hotel for my wedding stay and the staff couldn't do more for us. We were upgraded free complimentary which was so generous and then also offered late check out and breakfast was served to us later as we slept in due to a late night on our wedding night which again was a lovely gesture.
We had a nice one-night stay at the Dog and Bear in Lenham. The inn is located right in the centre of this charming village, in a lovely location. The check in was smooth and efficient. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The breakfast staff, in particular, were incredibly efficient. The breakfast was nice, with a good range of options.
The whole hotel is stunning! The Marble Hall, chandeliers, staircase, paintings and Dogs of Fo! Everywhere had something amazing to look at! The room we stayed in was huge and had everything we needed and more. The bed was ultimate luxury, as was breakfast in our room. We can't fault the hotel, staff or location.
We had an enjoyable 3-night stay at this property. Great food, lovely rural location and very pleasant helpful staff. Lenham is a cute village. Other pretty villages are not too far away by car. Leeds Castle is worth a visit.
The room was clean, well-appointed, and very good value for the money. Lenham is a charming and picturesque village, and the hotel's location on the village square was ideal for my walking trip.
This is a hotel of two halves. The front is a nice old coaching inn. Pleasant bar and dining room. Very good staff serving nice local beers and good-value pub food.
This was a nice hotel to stay at. Everything was wonderful. Breakfast was good with lots of food. In the front of the hotel is a bar and also a restaurant.
