Richard
Great location. Good sized clean rooms. Staff super friendly and amazing quality food. Overall a very nice experience. Will definitely stay again 👍
Maegaret
They are like little chalets which are so quiet and in this extreme heat provided 2 fans which were very effucient. Everything was spotless. Eveni g meals and breakfast served in the Inn itself which is very quirky.
The food was very good and staff very attentive and helpful. There were maps in the reception office for local walks and again very heloful staff. We would definitely come back.

Jennifer
Lovely staff, excellent restaurant and pub. Unfortunately, my room (The Periwinkle Room) had a not so good smell. Combined with no air-conditioning it made my stay fairly unpleasant and it was very hot inside the room. There is a fan located high attached to the wall but it really didn’t help much at all.
Brian
Place was so good we stayed an e tra night.
Brian
Very clean rooms, very helpful staff, excellent location to explore North Downs Countryside
Eloise
Breakfast was delicious and service was great. The reception staff were super helpful and really friendly. The rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Unfortunately we came may bank holiday where we had over 30 degree heat. The wall fan wasn't enough to keep the room very cool and it had a thick duvet. The reception kindly arranged to cool the room down for us before checking However there wasn't much that could be done without AC and a thin sheet , However I appreciate that it was an abnormaly hot day and 9/10 times wouldn't be a problem x
Sarah
Handy stop off on our way to Le Shuttle. We’ve stayed before and love the pub. Lovely beer garden, great staff and delicious food. Room for three of us was adequate but smell of drains in the bathroom was not nice unfortunately
Andrew
Great atmosphere, helpful staff, good food and comfortable room. All you need for a solo business traveller . Plus a charging point , a great find, will stop again.
John
Very pleasant stay, very clean, pleasant staff, very good food, atmospheric restaurant.
Lawrence
Convenient, for my purpose, one nights stay in the area.
Chris
Good food in the pub for evening meal and quiet comfortable room. Only had fruit, yoghurt and poached eggs for breakfast but it was good and menu looked comprehensive
Eileen
Always friendly and helpful staff. Super dog friendly. Great food and great location.
robert
Very good experience overall. The staff were very helpful, for example providing a fridge for our baby's milk and helping sterilise his dummies. We had dinner in the lovely historic pub, very nice food. Would definitely stay here again.
Tim
Pub is great, food pretty good but hugh price. Good breakfast. Rooms average and cole due to electric heating.

GRAHAM
Very good, the large rooms are cabins in the grounds of the pub. Very quiet, plenty of parking and EV charging. Good food in the pub restaurant, but we didn't have breakfast as heading to Le Shuttle. Staff friendly and efficient. Room clean and dog friendly.
James
Very secluded location, attached to a fantastic country pub with great food. Room was clean, comfortable and functional.
Keith
Excellent
Very comfortable stay, full of character, great service.
Christa
Cozy, great atmosphere
What a find. This is a place in the country and only 10 min from Leeds Castle. The pub atmosphere is we loving and traditional - what you would hope for and expect of a pub. Cozy, updated menu with vegan options.
The rooms are in a separate annex. Quiet, modern but cute and stylish in the room I was in. All that’s needed. I’d recommend this place any day.

Black Horse, Thurnham
I've stayed here on a number of occasions over the last decade and a bit. I've always found it to be friendly, with good beer and good food. My only reservations are that in colder months, the chalets can be a bit on the cool side despite having heaters. However, on this occasion, I was in one of the newer rooms and the bathroom was nice and warm in the morning and best of all contained a walk-in shower stall, far better than clambering over a bath tub! The pub itself has remained a decent hostelry, with a good choice of drinks. There is always a good local beer or two on tap. The food is usually very good, if a bit on the pricey side. I had calf's liver the first night which was very tasty and well presented. Breakfasts are amongst the best I have on my travels, with all contents of the plate well cooked and presented. The staff are always friendly, chatty and helpful and I will certainly continue to stay here when down in Kent. Highly recommended also for leisure as it is positioned brilliantly for Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Chatham and the Kent Weald. Problem is I'm always at work when here!
Karen

Great place to stay. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The shower was really powerful and could be adjusted to however hot you preferred. Food in the pub was excellent too. I've just booked to go again in a couple of weeks :-)

Traditional English pub
The pub is a lovely Olde World traditional English pub, with lovely food and a real homely atmosphere. I had pictured log fires and sofas, but it is more geared towards eating, with wooden tables and chairs (so my visions of relaxing with a book were sadly unfulfilled!) We visited on a Saturday and sat in the Dog loft for lunch, the small bites were incredibly filling, which kind of ruined our dinner plans! We were still stuffed hours later... Dinner was delicious, compliments to the chef for a visual treat which tasted amazing.
The chalet stays are perfectly servicable, spotlessly clean and amenities such as an ironing board and hairdryer. The rooms were very stylish, no personal touches like pictures but they served their purpose well. My only issues were the bed was very hard (my back was aching in the morning!) and we only had 2 TV channels but, as we were not there to watch tv, this was no big deal!
Overall, I would recomend this stay for anyone looking for lovely food, great wines, British atmosphere and some gorgeous walks nearby.

Stunning pub, restaurant superb and the rooms were amazing, clean and very comfortable. The only downfall was the tv in the room didn’t work. Reported first thing this morning and they had a replacement straight away.
Would definitely stay again and highly recommend

Max
Great! 10/10!
I only get to stay here once a year which is a shame as it’s a lovely place to stay and the food offering is amazing! The rooms are more like small chalets in a separate building, nothing flash but have everything you need and excellent value for money. Highly recommended, looking forward to next stay.
Callum
Perfect if you’re in the area
Beautiful property and amazing food!!
Peter
We arrived at 16.30 checkin was quick and i went to the room my husband went to make a reservation for dinner.The room was very tastefully decorated but no heating on,as it was Febuary it would have been nice to walk into a warm room.We were only able to book for 21.00 which was far too late when we had lunch at 13.00.We were not able to order our choice on the menu as they had sold out sausage and mash and fish and chips nothing special maybe defrost a few more.

This is a wonderful Kentish Inn. The log fire, the cozy seating and the food and drinks on offer make this out of the way place a secret oasis. The rooms are excellent, clean, warm and all the facilities you expect. And absolute value for money. And did I mention the food? Fantastic menu, great service and worth every penny. Fantastic place, can’t recommend it highly enough!
peter
2 night working trip solo. A lovely old pub with olde world charm. You really couldn't find a pub more quintessentially English.
Rooms lovely and warm with spacious bathroom (Clover, block 4).
Restaurant also very good but £11 for a glass of wine is pushing it a bit. Have the prawns starter and sausage and mash to get the best value out of it.

Really welcoming stay with great food in the pub
Christopher
Another great stay.
We love this place, but we love it for a reason, the food is amazing, the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great visit/stay and the rooms are a perfect place to crash after a few drinks.
The pub also has a lovely warm atmosphere that is so welcoming and relaxing. For us it’s our perfect bolt hole to escape London.

Lovely full English to start the day

Amazing place to stay eat and relax.
We are regulars visitors to the Black Horse Inn. But the reason we are is because it’s such a wonderful place to come. It’s a cosy pub with a warm chilled friendly atmosphere. The staff are lovely and do their absolute best to make your visit perfect. The food is always amazing and is sourced locally with some great chef’s special dishes and the rooms are cosy, comfortable and good value.
We will be back again very soon.

Over night stay in Detling Kent
A lovely clean fresh room. The Pub is a beautiful quaint typical English pub with beams in the ceilings and hops hung up everywhere. The room (accessed by outside paths - but every room has an umbrella for use). Room has everything you need. Tea, coffee, biscuits, soaps, shampoo etc. We took our dog and the 'dog pack' is a wonderful idea with treats, poop bag towel and cover to protect bedding (if your dog is inclined to sleep on your bed). I would happily stay here again and recommend to my friends.

My family and I booked rooms at the Blackhorse Inn this weekend as we were attending a wedding in the area. We had a pleasant stay at the Inn. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We had breakfast which was very nice, with a varied choice. Would recommend the Blackhorse Inn.

Great Country Pub/Inn with separate accommodation, excellent food and good value. Would book again.

Nice digs slight issues
Nice digs but the hot water was hit and miss. The tv was temperamental as well

Fantastic country pub
This is an excellent pub. The service was exceptional, the food was very good and the ambience and atmosphere fantastic. This is a characterful old building with lots of books and crannies. Good beer too.
The accommodation is good - a little like motel accommodation at the back of the pub in separate purpose-built buildings. It was comfortable and suited our needs well. Would definitely return.

The Black Horse Inn is a real find. An absolute gem. What a well oiled machine this hotel is. Linked to the pub, with amazing staff and food. We literally couldn’t fault one thing about the room, service, dinner or breakfast. We will be back!

Great place to stay

Gorgeous traditional pub with cosy chalets
Gorgeous traditional pub with authentic touches. Excellent room, lovely stuff and very dog friendly. We stayed just for one night, on our way to channel crossing. Great rural location, but only a short distance from main routes. A real gem! We will be back soon.

This was a lovely base for us whilst visiting friends our only niggle was the service with food in the pub as we were forgotten at breakfast for so long we gave up waiting.
They were very apologetic but was a sad end to an otherwise lovely stay.

Away for work
Accommodation was seperate from pub. Nice greeting from staff on arrival, comfortable room with good size ensuite. Easy chairs to sit in within room. TV was small. Wifi not great and phone signal poor. Free parking at venue. Food at pub was okay, service was slow.
Tara
We had a lovely experience here. The room accommodated our family of 5, the grounds were beautiful and there was an EV charging station on site. The restaurant was great. We loved the decor. The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Elspeth
Good food in restaurant was main plus point. Room fine but expensive for what is basically a motel style room.
