Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location. Large room with plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 children plus luggage. On site parking available. Bathroom was big and equipped with shower gel etc. Shower cubical was massive!
The room had an odd, musty smell; seemed like it was the carpet. It was very noticeable, but we weren’t in the room for long so didn’t do anything about it. It was also a little noisy with road noise, but not much could be done about that.
Welcoming staff Nice and clean Fantastic breakfast
Noisy at night, people outside our window until 3am. Kept us awake Woke up by house keeping at 8.30am as they were locating the resident of a particular car that was blocking other in.
Das Zimmer war schön ausgestattet, hatte einen kleinen historischen Kamin als Dekoration und einen schönen Ausblick. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Bett war groß und sehr bequem. Zwar war das Badezimmer eher klein, aber dafür modern. Darüber hinaus war das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für eine Nacht für die Überfahrt mit der Fähre oder dem Tunnel ist es sehr gut geeignet.
Wir haben auf der Straße geparkt auf einer engen, mit Autos überfüllten Straße. Es sind zu wenige und zu enge Parkplätze für die Unterkunft zu Verfügung. Das Frühstück findet in einem Döner Imbiss statt und war etwas lieblos zubereitet.
Not bad
Room all great but no air conditioning feel very hot
Schoon
Ontbijd erg eenzijdig Matig bed Kleine kamer
Leaving it
It’s noisey but it is a pub . Felt more like a half way house for drinkers
I booked a room that would be ideal for someone with a mobility problem and ive stayed before in another room which was ideal. The room allocated this visit wasnt ideal for me as the bathroom flooded when you showered so using the bathroom afterwards was a hazzard, Even using the broom to try clear floor it didnt help. The bathroom smelt of drains which i also reported to a member of staff when i reported the bathroom and also that the shower head needed to be looked at as it wasnt staying in its holder when you showered so you had to hold it to shower. There was a covered BBQ outside my room and because it was windy it made a noise all night and sounded like someone was trying the door. The light on the walkway was on all night and the curtains in room wasnt long enough to block out the light,
Easy access for walks to the harbour. Close to all shops and other places.
All was good
Lovely staff - very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful large room, excellent shower room and very clean. Exceeded expectations. Very well designed. Breakfast was great in the cafe next door. They’ve thought of everything, in such an historic building. Very impressed.
Parking area is a little small, yet we never had problems parking very close in local roads. Easy! There are electric vehicle chargers - again a lovely thing to have, yet not something we needed.
Beautifully decorated. Comfortable. Cafe next door but two. Water view from bedroom.
Very friendly people
Friendly staff, let us drop our stuff off very early! Good breakfast at cafe next door Close to station
Parking is limited at the hotel. Just a few meters away is a paid parking lot.
Friendly, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Thank you for everything!

Lovely room and great location
Nothing
Clean and comfortable room. Fantastic shower. Great breakfast. Wonderful garden overlooking the creek
Outstanding value. A great room with a very modern bathroom. Very comfortable bed Perfect for a solo traveller. I have stayed in rooms that were more than double the price and this room puts them to shame. The staff are super friendly and you get a decent breakfast as well. Win win. I still struggle to believe that this was only £65 per night with a free breakfast that could easily cost £10 to £15. By the way, the shower was absolutely perfect. Nice and hot, with great water pressure and complementary shower gel and shampoo, which came in very handy because I forgot to bring my own. Unfortunately I didn't think to take photos.
What's not to like? A great B&B.
Very clean and modern
Good location. Friendly staff. Fixtures very clean and in good condition
Lack of air conditioning. Fan worked though. Duvet too warm so slept on top ( often do at home anyway)
Friendly welcome, clean room, comfortable bed. Fresh fruit and cereals as well as cooked breakfast.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt wordt op verzoek klaargemaakt, geen buffet. Goed hotel voor een overnachting op weg naar de tunnel.
A good place to stay when you want a quiet surroundings. We loved the breakfast too.
Clean room
Parking was a nightmare, had to park away from the hotel and walk. Not ideal!
Like a 5 star hotel great food accommodation and staff will go back to them in a heartbeat

Very clean and helpful staff and great breakfast

How the staff changed our room as the 1st room they gave us was not suitable as it was a disabled room , then they gave us a much better room at no extra cost
Nothing
Rooms were very nice with tea coffee and toiletries
Parking
Friendly, relaxed, spotlessly clean.welcoming. Great garden area , backs onto creek . Everything you need in room. Including iron and small ironing board. Highly recommend QP.
Free Parking is a bit of an issue as it’s in a residential area. There is a pay& display across the road tho.
Prima hotelletje, mooi gelegen
Niks
Breakfast was good
No food severed onsite
Breakfast was great and pleased with gluten free options
The car park is small but plenty of street parking available nearby
Our 4/5 stay so we like the place , no lit
The hotel was in a good location with views over the creek. The breakfast which was provided by the cafe a few doors down from the hotel was very good quality. The staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean. The town has plenty of pubs and places to eat. There are some beautiful historic buildings and the ancient church was very interesting.
The room and bed was a little small for our needs. The on suite was fine but a little tight for us.
Towels and coffee facilities in room
It was very a very hot evening - a fan was provided but definitely could have been more powerful or aircon apart from this everything perfect and clean
Location, clean, bar on site. Lovely outside seating area.
Breakfast. Did not like going to the cafe 3 doors along the road. Quality not great. Limited vegetarian options. No muesli or pastries. Staff were friendly.
Stayed here quite a few times staff always A1
Nothing
Staff were very friendly and helpful, always my favourite place to stay , but so busy that sometimes I can’t get a room. 😊
Could have done with a stool instead of a chair, too big and awkward to walk round one side of the bed, stool would tuck underneath sideboard.
Location and staff were friendly
Room had a musky odour (damp) and felt a little dated and was hot but it was during a heatwave and the fan in room helped. Also, it would have been nicer to have breakfast on premises. The quality of breakfast has gone downhill as it’s been outsourced to local cafe so accommodating more than just hotel guests
Staff were friendly and the room we had was very comfortable
The car park was a bit small.
Everything, helpful staff clean comfortable rooms
Stayed during a heatwave so very hot without air con but no fault of B&b. Fan in room worked ok.
Greeted with the warmest welcome, By Ben & his Lovely little assistant Receptionist such a cutie pie! Not long after we arrived shown to our lovely rooms, we grabbed a drink from the bar as we got to the garden My dad whose nearly 80 fell over! few cuts & scrapes more his ego that was damaged. Ben was on hand within seconds first aid kit at the ready, couldn't have done more to help especially as Dad didn't want a fuss, luckily i have worked for the NHS for around 30 years so was able to patch him up nicely! Ben i cant thank you enough for help and support last Friday, nothing was too much trouble for Ben he even moved my Mum & Dad to an accessible room, something ill have to remember to do when booking for parents in the future as i forget they getting old!! Thanks Again Ben Nicki, Steve Kath & Brian. xxx
Very welcoming staff, we needed an extra fan as it was so hot and extra water if we needed it
The accessible room is too near the beer garden
Friendly staff, easy location and walking distance to local facilities etc
Nothing
Quiet room. All facilities good and comfortable. Fan provided. Really lovely B&B. Great thought and attention to all the little details that make a real difference. Lighting, power sockets, mirrors, comfort, shower power etc etc. I have never stayed before as I thought it was a pub and these are often noisy. However, it's an old pub but now only operates mainly as a B&B and for functions. The outside of the pub doesn't really reflect the excellent quality of the inside areas and rooms or the lovely outdoor area - so it gives a pleasant surprise when you walk through the door.
Not much free parking. The car park was always full. Luckily there is a car park across the road but you do have to pay for any time outside of 10pm to 7am. I don't eat breakfast so it would be good to have a rate for room only.
Friendly helpfully staff nice clean rooms
Breakfast choices , could have more fruit and muesli for those who dont want cooked .
Staff where brilliant really recommend lovely garden with water at back very relaxing will defintley return
Location
They had private function, which we wasn’t told about, also my partner went out for some food and they wouldn’t let him back in the guy brought him up to my room like he was a child .
Everything
We stay here a lot the only thing that disappointed us in the beginning is the breakfast is not on site anymore but when we had the breakfast in the sweet little cafe next door we loved it!
Breakfast was great and cooked to order. Good quality food and accommodating chefs! Room was lovely, solid doors, clean and homely. Fan provided and tea and coffee station.
The added double glazing panes didn't lock so I couldn't block all traffic noise out at night (though it was a relatively quiet area so traffic wasn't an issue)
Nice village with a few pubs, serving good meals,rooms well equipped ,tea and coffee and spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, good shower, staff friendly and helpful, Good breakfast at Luna cafe, and very helpful with my partners gluten free diet, will definitely stay here again
N/A
This place used to be great. Breakfast in house, served quick and quality. Parking over the road was vast and free. Evening food and drinks readily available. This has all gone, it feels like it's going towards a HMO. Room was great but mattress was awful and very worn.

C'était assez amusant d'aller déjeuner dans l'établissement à côté, mais tout le monde était super gentils
rien, tout était OK
Clean and friendly
We liked the friendly atmosphere and the helpfulness of the manager
Short notice booking but very good, would certainly use them again
Friendly helpful staff, well equipped bedrooms
Room was very clean having a fan in the room was very nice. Bed was very comfortable. The room was spotless
Nothing. Just one suggestion a small fridge would have been brilliant
Great stay — clean room, friendly hosts, and a delicious breakfast. Would happily return.
Only issue we had was getting the tv to work, would not connect/stay connected to the Internet. Wasn't to big of a deal for us though
The garden, also location
I didn't like being woken up at 1:25. In the morning because Michelle, who was one of the staff, being drunk and having an argument along with shouting at a couple who was also drunk right outside my window in room 7. After which I could sleep!!! Also, the breakfast needs to be looked at the only part that was cooked fresh was the egg, everything else was pre cooked an left under heat.
Good location , lovely staff , very welcoming
Breakfast was a little bit of a let down
Rooms are nice and the bar is well stocked.
The Large Breakfast was a little on the small side. Glad I didn't choose the small breakfast. All though outside the hotels control the local car park is not straight forward for an overnight stay.
Very close to where I was working. Very clean, modern vibrant decor and inviting feel.
Car parking very limited, car park opposite is pay and display 7am-10pm. A few off street parking spaces if you look around. Bed abit soft but personal preference.
The room is great, a bit small but very nice and clean
Maybe the breakfast can be improve, the quality was very low.
Tout Super accueil, vraiment gentil Très propre et soigné
Rien
Comfy bed, room in good condition and the shower had excellent water pressure. Staff were fantastic and super helpful any time we had a request or a question. Also, the cooked breakfast was of a high caliber!
Room was a little bit of a squeeze and the lights in the bathroom didn’t work but these were minor issues overall and didn’t have a significant impact on our visit.
Staff were excellent at responding and very friendly
Can be noisy
Every was just so. Nice
Northing at all
Comfortable bed, well decorated room, excellent showe. Very good breakfast. Highly recommended.

Everything the Philippa has transformed into a fantastic micro pub and accommodation
Nothing
Clean fresh and modern decor, Donna was lovely and very welcoming on arrival.
Everything! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.
Only negative would be the small car park being used by non- tenants but this is in the process of being rectified.
Very nice hotel with bar, people where very friendly and willing to talk with you. We had a big room and a nice parkingspot next to our window where we could charge our electrical car.
The village itself is very small, but there's a big commercial center nearby.
Nice place nice and clean
Cleanliness
Parking, not a lot of it.
the staff the man behind the bar was great he let us have a chinese takeaway in the pub and gave us plates .
the bed was a very small double
Room really great very comfortable everything you need.
Choice of white or brown bread and rea butter at breakfast would be good.
Bon emplacement et personnel sympathique
Horaire petit déjeuner
Another Fabb short stay at the Queen P whilst visiting family on the island. Always excellent welcome, spotless, comfortable & Great Breakfast!!
N/A
The room was very good, warm, cosy, great tea and coffee, plenty of it, and a warm bathroom.i would defo come back again if available. The staff were brilliant.
The room was a bit small, but it was not a problem for me if I had to find something I didn't like.
Breakfast was excellent Value for money Nearby evening entertainment Local pubs some with very good food
The weather Much more industrial than we expected
I did not have the breakfast! The location is good.
The bathroom is very small.
We got shown to our room which we’ve never had before that really made us feel welcome. The room was spacious all that you required was in it, the shower was great. We also had breakfast included which was nice, which included cereals, fruit, pastries, yogurt, juices, tea and coffee and a fry up.
The heating wasn’t great if it would have been a cold night I would have asked for a heater
staff were brilliant
nothing
Goede stop om daarna de boot in Dover te pakken
Het stadje zelf is best armoedig/rommelig.
The friendly welcome when we arrived (very late!) from the hotel manager was great. The room was very clean and comfortable and breakfast the next morning was just what we needed to set us up for the day
No complaints at all
Always a pleasure to stay here whilst visiting family on Sheppey. Excellent, professional welcome from staff. Spotlessly, comfortable room and excellent breakfast.
