We had a fantastic stay at the Duke William, excellent staff, food and rooms. The staff are so friendly and efficient. It was great to see how they have a lovely relationship with both the locals and newcomers. The food was amazing and a great choice. We really enjoyed our breakfast both morning and will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to all the team at Duke William for such a lovely stay. Vivienne & Don

Quaint Village Pub with Rooms
The Duke William is an historic pub with rooms above. The food is amazing, staff are friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is quaint and the villagers are delightful. Betty, the pub dog, belongs to a villager, but spends her evenings at the Duke William. We highly recommend this adorable and relaxing establishment.

What a fantastic place to stay. A country pub set in a beautiful village. The pub overlooks fields. Our room was great -comfortable with quirky bits! - including a selection of books on the bookshelf to a little bottle of a liquor. Loved the pantry on the landing with fresh milk, bottles of water and extra toiletries. The breakfast is superb with a good selection of delicious items. We chose to eat in the pub - again it was absolutely delicious.

The property desperately needs external tidying and painting which considering the location is a shame. We are surprised the local council have not enforced this.

Definitely worth a visit!
This has to be the friendliest pub in England. We felt we belonged to the community 😃. Fantastic service, absolutely delicious food made from local produce and cooked by a very skilled chef. The place was full of character, even down to creaky floorboards. We loved it.

Splendid B&B in rural Kent
Exceptionally good stay. Comfortable warm room, superb breakfast, very courteous staff. But HOTEL.com site EXCEPTIOALLY POOR. Took ages and got very contradictory informaton when we wanted to change date. Took ages online, chatbot and phone. Will not use Hotel.com again.

8/10 Very good

Lovely room but be mindful of the pub nouse
A lovely comfortable room with some nice touches (continental breakfast left outside room, Nespresso coffee machine and access to unlimited milk and bottled water). Earplugs also supplied, note - these were required as the noise from the pub below was loud until closing time.
