A lovely traditional pub within striking distance of many beautiful places. The food was always great particularly the breakfast and came out wonderfully hot and on hot place which is so often an issue in other hotels. It's lovely to sit out in the garden and we were staying while the World Cup and Wimbledon were on and it was easy to catch the games in the evening but also lots of space to get away from the action.

All in all if you're looking for perfection and a name brand hotel for your stay then this isn't it but if you want friendly staff , nice food and a traditional pub atmosphere with lots of pub decor with a twist of France added in then this would be the one for you.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - big thank you to all the staff . PS It was really nice of you to provide a bag of clean towels, additional tea bags, coffee etc when we had left a do not disturb sign on our door as we didn't think it was needed for a 2 night stay.

Very comfortable hotel with nice bar, restaurant and garden areas. We had two evening meals here, both of which were excellent. Very good cooked full English breakfast (served at table - not buffet) and lighter options available.
The rooms are situated away from the dining and bar areas so there was no noise from there. All the staff were friendly and helpful: breakfast, bar staff and restaurant waiting staff.
We found the location perfect between visiting Leeds Castle and Hever Castle.

The room was a bit dated with a lot of “brown furniture” and could do with a little update. This was a little disappointing but did not detract from the overall state of the room.
The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much effort or trouble. They were friendly and welcoming.
We had the “full English” which was well present, full of flavour and hot. As with the breakfast all drinks were brought to the table with a smile from the staff.
We wanted to have cold drinks from the Bar in our room and were told that this was absolutely no problem.
The property in many parts was very old and possibly historic and the ambience was reflected in the decor. I would say lovely and exactly why this Pub is a perfect place to stay awhile.

On arrival we were disgusted by the foul smell and revolting condition of the carpets in the bar area. The room was appalling
With urine staines to the mattress a condom wrapper left in the bed . The sheets were of the lowes standard of quality and also stained. The pillows of such disgraceful quality that you wouldn't even put in a dogs bed coupled with the can of beer which lay above our heads amongst a sickening thick layers of dust prompted us to check the electrical regulations certificate and fire extinguisher both of which are out of date by almost three years.

Good breakfast.

Although we had not requested this, we were allocated an easy access room. This meant the sink area was not suitable for us and required us to sit on the toilet when using the sink because it was very low down.

The room felt unclean, tired looking and there was a very unpleasant smell throughtout the bedroom/ensuite areas, similar to an issue relating to damp and/or the drains.

The shower curtain did not fully fit around the shower area, hence resulting in water covering the entire floor after use. Despite it being a wet room water on the floor went beyond the perimeter of what should be expected therefore making the floor dangerous to walk on.

The room was poorly lit and overlooked a very scruffy outside area.

The mattress protector had stains and the pillows were of poor quality.

The 2 corridors that led to the bedroom accommodation area, was littered with furniture and pub equipment. The corridors were also very cold to walk through to access the main pub/restaurant areas.

Despite, the breakfast being good, we did not enjoy our stay at the Camden Arms Hotel so do not feel we can recommend this venue for an overnight stay to anyone else.

The restaurant side does great food with very good service and breakfast was great. I know the Camden Arms well but have never stayed there before. I have stayed in other hotels nearby but the Camden is very much better. We were happy with the price as well and totally recommend here for anyone viting the area.

Room was very dark, even after turning on all lamps. In fact, I wore one blue sock and one black sock to dinner because it was so dark, I couldn't tell the difference. Drain smell coming from shower waste in disabled en-suite. Very dark entry through Hotel Reception door during the day. Even though free Wi-fi was advertised, we had a very poor signal in our room and most of the time, got knocked off within 10 seconds. Wi-fi worked great in the bar if that's when you wanted to use it (no). Room was not very clean, furniture and mattress old. Staff were nice. Breakfast was good.

Stayed here for one night whilst working in Wadhurst. The check-in process was easy.

The room was clean and spacious. I was in room 1 which was a disabled friendly room - Room had a Nespresso Coffee Machine which was a nice plus. The shower curtain at the base was a little black but other than that the room was clean.

The food was also really good - I had the fish and chips for dinner. Breakfast was also really good offering plenty of options outside of a full english including waffles and bagels.

A gem of a time warp

Standard double room was just about big enough. This place has spent a fortune on good beds, substantial but dark and old fashioned furniture, ornate mirrors, and artwork everywhere. Somehow it just wasn’t a place we would want to go back to.

On our arrival everything was explained, booking in was easy , we were shown to our room and facilities explained. Our room was a large twin with a great accessable en suit . I explained that we may be returning late and was informed there was a separate keycard entrance that could be accessed at any time. Although we didn't use it there looked to be a lovely garden . We booked breakfast for the following morning. The waiting staff were excellent and helpful. I have to say my breakfast was one of the best I've had in a hotel for a long time . We stayed for a family party nearby and when visiting family again I would certainly stay here again .

A Hidden Gem

From the moment we arrived Carol made us feel welcomed. She showed us to our room and explained meals times. She made us feel so at home.

The room was cosy and decorated in the style of the coaching inn. Dark furnishings and a king sized bed. Lots of drawers to store clothes and a good sized wardrobe too. Lovely modern shower room with hand wash, body wash and shampoo products provided.

Ironing board, hair dryer, trouser press and tea and coffee making facilities, tv and bottled water also provided

Bar and restaurant areas were in keeping with a coaching inn and there was a large outside area with tables and seating. Perfect for a warm evening.

Menu and quality of food was outstanding and add to that the friendliness of all the staff, every meal was a treat. Breakfast was included and plenty of options to choose from.

Location perfect for seeing castles, gardens and Chatham Docks and even close enough to go to the seaside only 90 minutes away.

We had a really lovely stay here and we will be returning. Thank you all at the Camden Arms. A real jewel.

Middle of the Road but Good Enough

Lovely staff and the beds were comfortable. Room was very musty. Wouls have liked a hair dryer but they did have a towel warmer.

Excellent base for exploring the area. Staff were super helpful and polite. Had a REALLY creaky bed on the first night so didn’t get much sleep. Told staff the following morning and we were moved straight away.

Our stay began with an awkward check in where we had to wait with our bags at the bar of the pub area while busy staff served customers until the host was able to check us in. Later on during the two evenings we ate at the hotel we were unable to have coffee because the machine was turned off before our meal had ended and before the time the end of meals were advertised by the venue. On the second occasion I asked why this was and was informed that it was because of the cost of running the machine. At breakfast the machine was on and we were told that coffee from this machine was only available to family members and not customers and only general coffee was included in our breakfast cost. The owner said the coffee machine should have been left on for the whole evening but staff had clearly been given a message to turn it off early. However at breakfast a family member came and drank coffee from this machine in front of us which made us feel like we were second rate. It was obvious therefore that the hotel could afford the cost of the machine for their own use. I consider this a poor regard of paying customers

4 stars isn't enough!

Splendid stay in a lovely pub environment with smiles and service from every member of staff. Great rooms that are lovely and clean with well maintained traditional furnishings and a modern bathroom. The cooked breakfast was excellent and the evening meals delicious. It deserves all 4 stars... and more.
We shall be back!

I had a very comfortable stay here. Firstly I enjoyed very much an evening meal on site. The room was well equipped and comfortable with a first class shower. It was very quiet and I had a restful night. Breakfast once again was first class with a wide choice and very enjoyable with no time pressure. I was able to enjoy a nice walk whilst there with woodland walks starting within a few hundred yards of the accommodation.

There was nothing that I did not like about the accommodation and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

It was not a new place but that was what I liked. The ambiance of an old style inn. Staff were very pleasant. Would stay there again.

Good overnight stopover.

Overnight stay was in a very comfortable ground floor bedroom which was quietly situated. Dinner served in the olde worlde bar / restaurant was good quality and promptly served.

Nice staff, alright food, needs a refurb.

Still trying to figure out how this place has such high reviews. Bathroom covered in mould in the shower (including the shower head!). The mattress felt ancient and lumpy. Food was pretty good though. Definitely not good enough for the room rate I paid (I would say I've stayed in rooms for £70 a night that are much better). Generally just a very tired place. Staff were all nice though.

This is a proper pub, with a nice feel about the public areas. The accommodation is at the back, so is quiet, and the room we stayed in was spacious, although quite old fashioned with heavy brown furniture. We thought the service and food were excellent.
