We stayed here for two nights whilst attending a wedding nearby. It's easy to find,in a rural quiet location but surprisingly only just off the main drag. Rooms were great.

A group of eight of us went for lunch. There were ants all over the table, and one of the main courses- never appeared, despite waiting 45 minutes for it. However, the rest of the food looked good! More

Spent 2 nights here and we were very impressed by the bedroom and bathroom, both very well furnished and spacious. No problems with traffic noise, but it was the weekend. The restaurant was also excellent both for breakfast and dinner.Would definitely recommend this as both a place to stay and eat. More

We were celebrating our Silver wedding anniversary and wished to get together with all our family in Tonbridge, Kent, nearly 30 in total. Good choices of food with extras for vegetarian added, everyone catered for and pleasant service. A lovely bustly... More

We've been to this place a few times as we live nearby, it's a beautiful pub, right up my street and the staff from day one were very friendly and good. We ate there one Sunday and it has to be one of the best roast beef meals I've ever had, a bit more pricey than usual pubs but it's... More

I often stay at the Carpenters Arms, when im away on business in Sevenoaks. I actually do a 20 mile round trip to stay here. Not only are the rooms beautiful, but the food is outstanding. I always look forward to staying here. It is most certainly value for money. More
