Well worth a Visit
The Leather Bottle was well worth our stay. It’s historic links to Charles Dickens makes it a must visit for those interested in the author. Full of photos. drawings and personal items belonging to the author. Apart from that this 500 year old building is well worth a visit in it’s entirety. Cosy clean and comfortable breakfast included,with a excellent bar although no Campari when we stayed there. A good menu with plenty of choice. Overall well with a visit.

Not so good
Nice pub but main road which runs outside the front of the pub is very busy day and night our room was at the front of the pub so we got all the noise also it was very hot so we had to have the window open, the pub could do with some t l c a bit run down, in our room the ceiling paper hanging down. And the shower not so good, how ever the food was good and the breakfast was okay just the location of having it was not ideal ( small room at the back of the pub) staff very friendly and helpful, the short break was okay but we would not use this pub again for a stop over.

Loved the four poster bed and the old fashioned feel to the property. It was lovely to stay in a property unlike the commercial hotels of the current world. And a very charming building and with a really lovely warm feeling

The Leather Bottle has that unique charm that is quite often lost, from the flagstone corridors, the creaky floorboards to the pictures on the walls. From the moment you check in to the moment you leave you feel you have entered the world of Charles Dickens, from a drink and some food in the restaurant to quietly reading in the snug.it feels nice. We are already making plans to revisit later in the year and explore Kent.

Wonderful Overnight Stay
The Leather Bottle is the most perfect spot for food, drinks and an overnight stay. The rooms were clean, quirky and full of history. The staff and customer service were first class ad the food was immense! The only pity was the issues myself and the venue experienced with the company Eviivo Ltd who are a 3rd party taking the payment for the stay. When i booked i was advised payment would be taken at the property but the payment was taken 3 days before, then the property requested payment after the stay as Eviivo Ltd had refunded it back to me! all very confusing for both parties

Historical venue with outstanding hospitality!
Lovely authentic 16th century property! Rooms are aged and the facilities within the rooms are the same but adequate for our needs. Not withstanding that the Public House facilities, food, drinks & staff were outstanding! The hospitality was nothing short of exemplary, thank you

300 years old
300 year old hostelry means it will be different,....uneven floors, low beams, etc. And without cavity wall insulation, it can be cold, so ask for a heater in your room. Room 2 is not the best, with a very low door and noisy as its on front.

Charles Dickens
The room was very basic and extremely cold on arrival but they found us extra heaters. The bed was very hard and pillows lumpy. The staff were all very friendly and the evening meal was lovely. The breakfast was very good too. Pretty village and worth walking to the Mausoleum

An historic inn, known for its association with Charles Dickens, who features on almost all walls and available surfaces. An attractive building, without level floors, owing to its age, but kept in good condition by attentive staff. Food and drink of a good standard. Our room, the Mr Winkle Room, had a four-poster bed, and was spacious and comfortable.

Mr Frosty!
Staff helpful and friendly. Lovely room and food excellent. The only gripe was no heating in our room on arrival and it was freezing. Not switched on until approx 1 hour after our arrival. Same at breakfast,dining room had no heating on, also freezing. I would have settled for an increase in the room rate to fund the heating which is paramount at this time of the year. Please note as otherwise lovely venue.

Ok for BnB but not for pub or restaurant.
Didn't realise the bathroom was separate and not ensuite which caused a few logistical problems of getting to it for a shower. Room above restaurant was noisey with kids running riot through the pub below but ok by the time I got back to the room in the evening. Pub is set up more as a restaurant but doesn't have the menu to match. Comfortable bed and good breakfast made up for any shortfalls.

A truly lovely pub with all the historic connections of Dickens' frequent stays. Unmodernised (in a good way), but with all the facilities you'd expect. Not a problem at all, but the bathroom to our bedroom was through a separate door off the main corridor of rooms. Lovely, friendly staff. The only shame was that we arrived later than last orders for dinner (at 7pm!), which seemed a bit early to close the kitchen on a Sunday. It may open longer on other days of the week.
