Howfield Manor Hotel

The hotel is a little gem! The staff are super friendly, very professional and very attentive. The rooms are warm, comfortable and very clean. We ate dinner at the restaurant which was delicious as was the breakfast. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay🙂

Here for two nights whilst attending a wedding in petham So we only slept here and had two breakfasts which were delicious with a few nice unexpected additions like advacdo on sour dough with egg and onion it was really nice there was fresh porridge - pancakes etc all freshly cooked good hot coffee pots and tea etc Lovely grounds well kept Lots of outside sweating areas Large car park No lift to the upstairs bedrooms may be an issue for some. We had room 15 it was very clean well equipped tea coffee facility a fridge iron safe tv windows that open! Heating comfy bed BUT the shower over the bath was appalling no water pressure at all trickle of water 💦 unable to shower in it. Only a liquid soap supplied and a shower cap no other cosmetics🤷‍♀️

In the area on business and stayed at Howfield Manor for one night. Interesting building in nice grounds. Food at dinner was good, I had Duck which was chef's recommendation. Served by young Isabelle who coped well under pressure, despite being there for only 2 months. Room clean and comfortable, although had to ask for TV to be sorted as it was not working on arrival.

A lovely old building with well kept grounds. We only stayed one night, which was a Sunday so diner was the usual choice of roast beef, chicken or pork with all the trimmings and it was very good. Breakfast was also very good too, I had eggs benedict (eggs cooked but runny yolk) and my wife had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon which she said was also very good. Only gripe: the ice machine was broken and apparently had been for a week, so get some ice delivered in giant bags. Our room (No16) was large, clean and pleasant but the bathroom could do with a refresh, bot the radiator and the shower curtain pole were rusty. A good location though and if I was in that area I would happily stay again.

Beautiful building & gardens. The room was amazing. Staff very helpful & friendly and the food was excellent. Would definitely stay again. Great value for money. Really interesting building steeped in history with beautiful features. Lovely gardens. Relaxing stay. Bedding & bed was really comfortable. Room was immaculate.

We stayed for one night prior to a cruise from Dover. On arrival the buildings and grounds look spectacular. Checked in quickly and our room was ready earlier than the 3pm start time. The room was very hot due to it being the hottest day of the year, but was clean, though dated and needing an upgrade. In the evening we ate in the restaurant on site. The food was good, though the french fries were obviously frozen though advertised as Skin on chips. I realise that this is because we noted that there was only one chef cooking as well as doing his own dishwashing. The rest of the hotel that evening was being run by two young men. One a local lad the other from Asia. Both men were charming and helpful, though rushed off their feet serving at the bar, restaurant, reception, etc. Service suffered with long waits,items forgotten, and us having to eventually chase one down to order deserts. On the menu they advertise filter coffee and Americano. I ordered an Americano from one man, and told only filter was available. The other man then came and said they had fixed the machine and I could have my Americano. What actually arrived was filter. I had to give up at this point. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for myself were perfect. Full English for my wife, she said was good. I doubt we would return.
