8/10 Very good

This is about as good as it gets for a pub with rooms. I’ve marked some aspects as good, but they should very good, and some aspects as excellent, which also should be very good. Unfortunately the booking site doesn’t give “very good” as an option. Only things preventing an all round excellent review are; pub noise from downstairs (didn’t bother me, but will bother some people) and breakfast too late for me (again, won’t bother some people). The staff provide a picnic basket with cereals and pastries for early leavers.

A really enjoyable stay

A very comfortable 3 day stay in this Village Inn with very warm welcome and friendliness throughout - informal but professional. Cleanliness of both room and bathroom excellent with some extras provided in both. Food and menu also excellent. Ideal location to visit Canterbury (Park and Ride close by and very easy) and nearby coast. A lovely stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for 2 nights on Sat & Sun 6-8th December. We were greeted with a very busy pub but extremely attentive staff who could not do enough to make us feel welcome. The room was well furnished with a retro vibe. If I am being over critical, I would say that the carpet in the room could do with a clean and the bathroom needs a bit of an upgrade. Having said that, apart from those minor issues, the room was very clean and comfortable. We were accommodated with dinner reservations despite not pre booking and the pub being very busy. The food on both nights was outstanding, as was the breakfast. The pub is very dog friendly and we were very comfortable having dinner with our dog which is a very important thing for us. Would highly recommend the Duke William for a good old fashioned pub with very comfortable accommodation and top notch dining.
