Had a great meal from the new menu as I was told. The Beef Bourguinon was exeptional. The service was polite and attentive, i shall certainly stay again when visiting Sevenoaks. more

Since my last visit clear improvements with new restaurant manager and clearly lots of painting has been going on. Friendly, clean and convenient on High Street. Thai green curry was good . more

My husband and I have just returned from a weekend break at the Royal Oak Hotel, Sevenoaks. On arrival, our room wasn't ready so we were allocated another room. I went up to check it out and to my amazement couldn't find a wardrobe in the room, just a hat stand. I went back to reception to ask if they... more

Bar and Food allright, reception well, yes. Room tidy, en-suite bathroom just so. Why on earth did they take all the charm away from this place by redesigning the interior of such a lovely place in the most modern way ? more

I'd never been bitten by a bed bug until I stayed in room 404 at the Royal Oak in Sevenoaks. An uncomfortable bed, bad lighting and squeaky, broken floorboards. Given that this carpark annex was probably 15 years old it was in a very poor condition. Although these are all disappointing and I'd have expected better for my £200 weekend... more

I can think of nothing constructive to say about this place. Anyone involved in this business clearly does not want to do anything about it, so it is best just to leave it to them and future unfortunate travelers. It is the saddest place I have had to stay in and I will never go there again but I will... more

Rude, arrogant staff. Dirty bed bug infested rooms. Poor food, in fact for the first time ever I can't think of 1 positive thing to say about this dump? It's probably better than sleeping on a park bench but only just (how's that/) more

Before travelling I had read some rather mixed reviews of this hotel, but due to a lack of options within the corporate budget decided to brave it. How glad I was when I arrived at a charming country hotel with classic looks, ample parking and friendly reception staff. I could see form the reception that the bar had been very... more

Was travelling to Maidstone, stopped here on the way. Very nice & smiling receptionist showed me few rooms out of which I could choose one. Room was not very big, but still nice. I had some snacks at the bar, had a little chat with singing bartender. Overall it's a nice small hotel, that needs some renovations. Lovely & helpfull... more

If you must stay here, book a room only and eat elsewhere. The dining room was very pleasant but AT 12.95 each the breakfast was grossly over priced. It was not even freshly cooked and served but was buffet style with the food kept hot in warming dishes and the selection of fresh fruit was meagre. We would have been... more
