You've probably driven past here several times if you live anywhere in West Kent or East Sussex:…read moreIt's the boozer that is on the A267 just north of Frant's beautiful village green. The place is BIG and labyrinthine too - just going to the loo from the public bar prompted a Spinal Tap 'Hello Cleveland' moment!!! They offer (the omnipresent) Harveys and Wells' Bombardier and the bar is spacious and 'living room' comfortable. We're talking big sofas and large tables. Very luxurious indeed. They have an equally large restaurant that seemed pleasingly upmarket but affordable. Have a look at their website. Also they were offering fresh Cornish lobster, fresh Orkney mussels and (yet more!) fresh fish from Hastings. Nice. Recently resurrected TW Qypestro legrandflaneur was on hand and reckoned the Bombardier was a bit iffy, so did I, so only four stars this time.

Room 7 is stunning, spacious and with a 'modern' 4-poster, just lacking a bath really. Breakfast is included and consists of a great buffet of fruit salad, cereals, yoghurt etc, followed by your choice of full english cooked to order, or bagels with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The proprietor, Terry, goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and is full of helpful tips on the local area. Mine is: check out the Hand in Hand pub just round the corner - brilliant local, Brighton's smallest pub with on-site micro Brewery, heaven! Highly recommended.

The room is small but has everything you need (other rooms are bigger), and the private bath is enormous, with up-to-date fittings and lovely amenities. Although it's just a few minutes' walk from Chart House B&B to the center of Dorking, the place is very quiet at night, and it has a gorgeous garden at the back that guests can use. Many people staying there seemed to be in the area for business and staying long-term, but Chart House would also make a wonderful center of operations for anyone touring Surrey. We opted for the continental breakfast, which was lavish enough for anyone who doesn't need eggs and meat in the morning. Chart House is excellently run, and if you stay there, do ask Jill about her life--she has had many interesting experiences! We loved it here.

The rooms are a bit tight with luggage but workable and comfy. The desk staff is not there full time so be aware for early morning departures. They helped us arrange an Uber to Heathrow for our flight. The restaurant food is very traditional English - everything my group had was good (I had the pork loin). After dinner, the pub is lively and they will let you linger till about midnight if it is hopping. Free parking, and convenient to Gatwick vs the stale airport hotels!

After a disastrous attempt that resulted in a failed trip to Stockholm, we decided to run away to a…read morefind a nice spa and try to revive our weekend. We picked The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells at it had availability and seemed to meet what we were looking for. We enjoyed the afternoon using the facilities such as the pool and steam rooms. The hotel bar was nice and we had a very enjoyable lunch. I enjoyed a De Stressed massage, which left me exceptionally relaxed. The massage really set me off on a good note and I was looking forward to the rest of the stay. However, this is really were the good things about our stay ended. The room we got, which was booked as a double premium suite was no where near what we would have expected for the rate we paid. The room was in the eaves and quite a bit cramped. As I am more so on the taller side, this was clearly going to lead to a few head bumps. Fortunately, those we amazingly avoided. That left us with the evening ahead. Unimpressed by the restaurants menu and high price, we set out down the road for the Pantiles and found a great couple of places. After returning and settling down for the evening, things really turned for worse. The air conditioner made noises every 30 minutes or so when it wasn't on that would wake you up. The bed was exceptionally small and only fit two people if one lay sideways. The ability to properly sleep in these conditions was just unachievable. After a very rough night and lack of sleep, the relaxing feeling that I had was long gone and replaced with extreme tiredness and plenty of soreness. We are exceptionally disappointed with what can only be referred to a terrible stay. This hotel really had the opportunity to be top notch, but it severely missed the target. Don't think we would likely stay here again.

I live too close to ever need to stay there but otherwise this is an absolute asset to TW.

Breakfast isnt included but that's because it isn't fried slop, I had scambled eggs on an english muffin with smoked salmon, I asked for hollondaise sauce as well which they gave me. You also get as much toast, tea, coffe and juice as you want, and for £5 it's a bargain. Problems though, my tv didn't work, neither did my heating. They fixed the heating though and my friends' tvs worked, but this didn't really bother me as I didn't got there to watch big brother! The staff were absolutely lovely as well. They ordered our taxis and looked after our luggage on our last day. We asked for an ironboard and iron which came to our door in less than a minute, our heating was fixed just as fast too.

It also is conveniently only a few hundred yards from a carpark in Imperial Square. On my recent stay, December 2008, I found this to be the cheapest place offering breakfast and a double room for £39 a night. The hotel is in need of updating, and the rooms are basic, don't expect any frills or a romantic setting. If you get a sea view that will make up for the fairly shabby interior! However, the breakfast is great, including Vegetarian and Vegan options, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A good budget option for visiting this vibrant city!
