I liked the history of the pub and the quirky village
Set in a grand Grade I listed property once home to politicians and Lords, this hotel has 22 acres of rural parkland.

This is our favorite place to stay. The the venue and food are amazing but the staff are outstanding. They can't do enough to make your stay extra special. They are main reason we go back.
Thanks so much again Matt, Liam and Amelia for creating such a lovely memory and will definitely see you again soon.

Corky whimsical feel. Spacious and functional room with all the needed amenities. Beautiful grounds. Pub has lots of great food, starts early and stays open late. Andrea and Miha were the perfect hostess.
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.

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.
Very old public house and hotel, but nicely kept. Good value and fabulous staff, nothing was too much trouble.
Staff complied with COVID restrictions really well and although we stayed for 4 nights and our room was not serviced, the staff were quick to provide anything we needed.
The breakfasts and dinners were tasty and exceptional value for money.
Free parking to the back of the hotel
Lovely location.
The included breakfast was very tasty and there was plenty of it. The serving staff were very accommodating with requests for variations to set meals. The English breakfast had both Vegetarian and Vegan options.
Sachets of Hot Chocolate were provided in the room - a rare commodity in most hotels.
What more can i say about this amazing hotel, Beautiful scenery, Hotel, Rooms,Food and amazing staff, Even left a Happy Birthday sign for my wife, We forgotten her Gucci Sun glasses in the Garden the night before and the staff managed to find them, We stayed in the amazing Ascot 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.
Breakfast was excellent with a good, flexible choice. Hotel was easy to find in centre of pretty town. Car parking was very good in large private car park. We had our dog and she was made welcome by everyone.
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.
