This place is really unique and the vessel has an interesting history. The host was very hospitable and they have kept the rooms and the guest areas in a fantastic condition. The location was great as you could see so much in all directions and Rochester is close by. Breakfast was delicious and the beds were comfy. We would definitely highly recommend this place.

We stayed for the Sweeps Festival, a celebration of traditional dance and music which sadly was spoilt a little by weather on one day, but if the indoor events don’t appeal there is a variety of bars and places to eat and alternative activities are a visit to a thousand year old castle and the 2nd oldest Cathedral in the UK, Guildhall Museum or a short drive away there is Chatham Historical Dockyard, and Royal Engineers museum.

Rochester is very charming.
Rochester is very charming. The High Street is very lovely with lots of quality second hand shops, if this is your thing. I was absolutely mesmerized by the castle. Well worth climbing the stairs all to the top, especially on a sunny day, the view is amazing. (check for opening times).
The cathedral is really beautiful, do go inside if you are there. You can just go in and explore the cathedral or do a guided tour (also check for opening times).
The town has a very rich history.
You could also choose do do a walking trail along the river.
The Royal Crown Pub has a lot of character and the food was really tasty.

I think some money needs to be spent updating the decor of the hotel and rooms. The room rate is inexpensive and hotel is in a good location but it is looking a bit worn. There was a crack in the top corner of room near the front window of our room and given the connection of the hotel with Charles Dickens, the hotel undersells itself. There was also loud music coming from the bar downstairs in same hotel complex.

Different places and things appeal to different people. OK.
Different places and things appeal to different people. OK. But I'm more than happy to put in a word for Rochester, It was, until 1998 when "Medway" (population 250,000 was created from Rochester, Chatham, Strood, Gillingham and Rainham, all today more or less contiguous) a historic and important small City.
Now Rochester is just a "Town", which seems frankly ludicrous. Population only 60,000 and they have problems. The High Street includes far too many Charity Shops, although also some beautiful and historic buildings. Too close to London. But Rochester also has the second oldest Cathedral in England, and still largely Norman Architecture rather than Canterbury's huge late Gothic. Rochester also boasts the tallest and best preserved Norman castle keep in both England and France. Then there are all the links with Charles Dickens and much else besides. And then the Chatham Historic Dockyard, worth a day's time of anyone interested in British history and only a few miles from Rochester.
I note the 2021 Lonely Planet Great Britain (page 162) manages just over 2 column inches on Chatham Dockyard. And that's it. Not even a mention of Rochester or "Medway" in the index. That, in my book, is all you need to know about "Guide Books"!
The location was beautiful. Set in the countryside with immaculate garden, plenty of room to park and the barn has been lovingly renovated with tasteful decor and furnishings. The owners were friendly and accommodating with great suggestions of places to eat and visit. The breakfast selection was varied, nicely presented and more importantly delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return when we visit family in Kent again.
Property had free parking for guests. Rooms were clean and tidy with clean towels and toiletries. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed as we were attending a wedding at Cooling Castle. The hotel put on a free shuttle service to drop off and pick up at wedding venue. This was a great service! Driver friendly. Also included free breakfast. Great value for money. Thank you!
Great location, a walk in to Rochester in 15 minutes, park up the road for the kids. Well equipped for short stays. Great contact and very accommodating host. Several shops at a few minutes walk, highly recommend. We were two adults and two kids and had plenty of space.
Lovely location and easy to find. I prefer the anonymity of a hotel however my stay for just the 1 night was very relaxed and it felt to me like home from home, only better. The double ensuite room is spacious and very comfortable with everything I needed for my stay.
Where do I start? My partner and I enjoyed our stay, the host was very helpful and the apartment was very clean, it had everything and more. Rochester was a lovely place and our apartment was very beautiful and most of all comfortable. Highly recommend
The hotel was situated on Rochester high street convenient for the castle and Cathedral and places to eat therefore did not need to use the car which was parked in the hotel. The reception was very friendly and made you feel very welcome.
Location is great very central to Rochester. Very responsive to emails. Lady on check in was very nice if seemed a little disinterested in her job.
If you just need somewhere to put your head this will do but dont expect much!
Very centrally located in Rochester. The room was good sized and very quiet. The bed was comfortable, good selection of tea and coffee in room and there were many outlets and USB ports to charge electronics.
N/A. By careful parking it is possible to get two cars parked safely. One small and one medium sized and this is important in Rochester, which has long been a parking nightmare.
Beautiful boat, really unique for a break.
Good location, close to Rochester.
Family run and very friendly, clean and beautifully turned out bedrooms. Breakfast was excellent!
Nice little hotel, was very quiet which was good, staff were very friendly and helpful. Will 100% come back here, would recommend to friends and family :)
