The Black Horse Inn

“Amazing experience”

Amazing rooms, very clean and lovely little Chalet lay-out. The pub is great, staff were very welcoming and the food was on point!

“Lovely weekend”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A Gem on the Pilgrims Way” The Black Horse Inn is a real Kentish gem. Full of character with beams, hops, and open fires, it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A Gem on the Pilgrims Way” The Black Horse Inn is a real Kentish gem. Full of character with beams, hops, and open fires, it has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The pub food is excellent – hearty, fresh, beautifully cooked and most locally sourced– and the breakfast sets you up perfectly for the day. Rooms are set in converted barn-style chalets, modern, clean, and very comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The location is stunning, right on the Pilgrims Way, ideal for walks and exploring the North Downs. The staff are outstanding – genuinely friendly, attentive, and helpful. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. A couple of small points: rooms can get warm in summer, but a big fan is fitted to the wall facing the bed, the walls are a well-insulated and no sound travels. The overall experience was excellent. In short, this is a perfect countryside retreat and a place we’d happily return to again and again.

“Exceptional but very rude housekeeper.”

An exceptional place to stay and eat, had to give it 4 stars sadly due to extremely rude and aggressive housekeeper. This is our second time staying and dining here and every time restaurant and bar staff are exceptional, orders taken promptly, food outstanding quality and perfect! Drinks are lovely, cocktails are very good. Very warm, welcoming and cosy environment. The rooms are beautiful, very clean heaters which heat up the room quickly, fresh towels available very cosy. Perfect valentines get away. Lots of couples and also families here too. The bar is open until late roughly midnight. Will definitely be returning again next year. Only negative is housekeeper came to our door as we was late checking out (had a small nap (I wasn’t feeling great) and ended up napping longer than intended, would be happy to pay late check out fee as our mistake) but the door was banged on, no knocking, when we opened we apologised and First Lady was understanding and stated we may need to pay late check out fee and she would speak to her manager. ‘The manager’ (I asked her name but she did not provide it) then came banged on the door and was extremely aggressive and rude and although apologising she was then swearing and getting agitated. This is such a shame as it’s a beautiful place and so much going for it. I hope next time we return we won’t get spoken to in such an aggressive manner.

“Rural gem”

Quaint chalet experience. Rooms spacious and exceptionally clean. Quality bedding. Sink plumbing in bathroom a bit wobbly but loved the hot shower.

Quaint chalet experience. Rooms spacious and exceptionally clean. Quality bedding. Sink plumbing in bathroom a bit wobbly but loved the hot shower. Wish they would state which rooms have Large double beds or normal ones as our bed was smaller. However, the cleanliness and excellent breakfast in the inn more than made up for it. Lovely buffet - fruit salad - fresh not tinned- toast and cereals. Full English available to order freshly cooked. Would revisit. Very friendly service from everyone too. Thanks.
