Lovely Georgian country house. The staff were friendly and in the main efficient and polite. They worked hard on a busy Valentine evening and we felt well looked after (But see below). Bed comfy and the restaurant food was very well presented and of a high quality. Drinks menu good and wine list reasonable and good overall.
Surrounded by the countryside, Delta Hotels by Marriott Tudor Park Country Club was renovated in 2023 and offers a private 18-hole PGA golf course, free parking, and a swimming pool.

We had such a lovely time staying at the plough inn. Perfect location for lots of dog walks and the room was so comfortable and had everything we needed. We had dinner in the bar area with our dog during our stay and the food was lovely, although as it was busy we did have to wait a while between courses. We will definitely return!
This friendly hotel with spacious accommodation rests in a peaceful country location just 10 minutes’ drive from Ashford Eurostar Rail Station.

We have stayed in a few Holiday Inns but nothing quite like this one. My husband used to stay here a lot when he was working abroad and returned from the tunnel so he knew this place pretty well and I have to say I loved it. Convenient location for visiting Port Lympne Safari Park and the surrounding areas. The staff here go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The hotel itself is superb, the breakfast is freshly cooked to order and there are other choices for breakfast too. The bar is great after a long day and serves great coffee from a proper machine! Big shout out to Howard the Manager for making us so welcome, we are returning later in the year and bringing family too its that good!
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.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my partner and I. We stayed in the Victoria room, which was beautiful.
The food for dinner was brilliant and the area is so peaceful and relaxing.
We stayed as a birthday celebration for my partner and the staff made a "Happy Birthday" plate with sweet treats, which was a lovely surprise for him.
We spent the morning walking around the grounds and the lake is beautiful, even in the rain and cold.
We would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Hotel was ina lovely location. The English breakfast was good and hearty. Asked for a sausage for our dog and they were happy to accommodate. The staff were very welcoming too, one young man got us a remote for the tv, as it wasn't in the room.
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.
