Lovely Staff, But Serious Issues with the Room – 19 July Stay The staff at the Leicester Arms couldn’t have been nicer or more willing to help. They even left a kind handwritten card apologizing for the bathroom flood and the fan noise, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the room itself had major issues that really let the stay down. We were in the most expensive suite, yet it was stiflingly hot on arrival. Opening the windows let in a deafening roar from a fan on the flat roof — clearly the reason they’d been shut. Later, the shower leaked heavily, flooding the floor. When reported, the manager admitted it was a known issue. I used our towels to mop up and had to ask for more. To make matters worse, the room filled with flies, presumably from the kitchen. I was told the fan would stop by 8:45pm, but it was still going strong at 10pm. No room change was offered. Then at 8am, the fans restarted, ruining any chance of a restful morning. I questioned why this room is still being sold at over £200 a night with unresolved issues. The staff tried their best, but the experience fell well short of expectations. I left disappointed and wouldn’t stay again unless these problems are properly addressed.

A lovely countryside stay. The pub is beautiful, a great mix of an old pub with modern design. Everything feels lovely and clean. Huge beds! I would say though, we stayed on a Sunday and the road out the front on the Monday morning was quite noisy (rush hour, bin men and gas refill right outside the window of our room). I doubt the rooms were full with it being a Sunday, so it would have been good if they put us out the back. If you can, request a room at the back of the building!

Cosy Penshurst hotel.

A fantastic 2 night stay in Penshurst. Hotel is really cosy and tastefully decorated. Open fires in bar area. We ate in the restaurant both breakfast and dinner and both were excellent. Great base for touring the local area which had a lot to offer.
