Had a lovely break at The Dog & Bear Hotel, very comfortable room with all the extras including coffee machine and pods which were very welcome. The choice of breakfast is also worth a mention and was cooked to an high standard. I would definitely recommend a stay here in the heart of Lenham village.

Great food options both for evening meal & breakfast. The bed was very comfortable (room 24) however the bathroom extractor fan took an eternity to go off & it was noisy! The fan itself needed a good hoover. Shower also disappointing very little pressure, difficult to get a good temperature. Decor tired. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The tea/coffee room facilities were excellent. The flask of milk & water very much appreciated. Thank you.

Good location and service, room needs updating
Great staff, tasty food and breakfast. Only disappointment was the room which needs a little TLC. Bathroom tired, room was quite cold too. Very little soundproofing, could hear everything that was said in room below. Bathrobes a nice touch and comfy beds. Good location though and cant fault the service.
