A warm welcome from Jemma and her team. Remarkably quiet rooms despite being above a family friendly pub and on the high street. The breakfast was one of, if not the, best I’ve been offered anywhere in a hotel in the UK or US in years. We loved staying here.

This was a really lovely place to stay. The only bad thing I have to say is that there is no AC and it was very hot on the top floor. A portable fan would have helped.

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy. Thankfully there was a large fan in the room, as the temperature was very hot re weather.
Breakfast was ok
I would have preferred a walk in show, as the bath was not easy to climb into as quite high.

Comfortable stay
Comfortable stay with very pleasant host, bar and restaurant team. Bathroom could do with a spruce up on the tiles, and noisy toilets in other rooms woke me up at night but all other facilities were good.

We had a brilliant time at Sun Inn. The room was perfect, the food excellent and plentiful and the staff just couldn't have been better. Faversham is a brilliant village where everyone is friendly and where you'll be surrounded by wonderful old buildings.
