Travellers praise The Leicester Arms Country Inn for its friendly, welcoming team, cosy historic character, and stylishly decorated rooms with very comfortable beds, making it a charming base in a scenic village for relaxed weekends and short getaways.
Food is frequently highlighted as excellent across dinners and breakfasts, though a few guests report slow or costly breakfasts and the lack of an early option. A recurring concern is that some rooms can be uncomfortably hot and affected by noise from nearby extractor fans. Overall, expect a characterful country stay with standout hospitality and generally strong food.

A fantastic 2 night stay in Penshurst. Hotel is really cosy and tastefully decorated. Open fires in bar area. We ate in the restaurant both breakfast and dinner and both were excellent. Great base for touring the local area which had a lot to offer.

Lovely Staff, But Serious Issues with the Room – 19 July Stay The staff at the Leicester Arms couldn’t have been nicer or more willing to help. They even left a kind handwritten card apologizing for the bathroom flood and the fan noise, which was appreciated. Unfortunately, the room itself had major issues that really let the stay down. We were in the most expensive suite, yet it was stiflingly hot on arrival. Opening the windows let in a deafening roar from a fan on the flat roof — clearly the reason they’d been shut. Later, the shower leaked heavily, flooding the floor. When reported, the manager admitted it was a known issue. I used our towels to mop up and had to ask for more. To make matters worse, the room filled with flies, presumably from the kitchen. I was told the fan would stop by 8:45pm, but it was still going strong at 10pm. No room change was offered. Then at 8am, the fans restarted, ruining any chance of a restful morning. I questioned why this room is still being sold at over £200 a night with unresolved issues. The staff tried their best, but the experience fell well short of expectations. I left disappointed and wouldn’t stay again unless these problems are properly addressed.

Lovely cosy hotel with loads of history and great location. Room was clean, if a bit cramped and bed comfortable. A mirror other than the one in the bathroom would have been Lovely friendly staff. We would definitely stay again.

The manager was lovely and showed us around the room and let us know any key things we needed to know. The room was absolutely lovely, proper cosy country vibes and loved the special touch of a large bottle of sparkling and still water and cookies in our room. Would highly recommend as place to stay!

This is a lovely hotel, we stayed in the Rosemary Room; spacious, good storage and facilities, comfortable. Last time we stayed here the food wasn't good, had an expensive steak dinner which was poorly cooked, very over salted so we didn't dine this time but might give it a try again next time we're here. Over all it's a great place to stay, we usually always stay 2-3 nights, last year we stayed a week.

A great stay right from the start the manager and staff were helpful and friendly. I was particularly touched when the chef made an off menu option for my autistic son as he was unable to manage any of the listed items. The rooms were beautifully set out and the bed was so comfortable. I usually struggle to sleep away from home but not here. I also loved the toiletries were Bramley (my fave) it added a touch of luxury to an already luxurious stay. The food in the restaurant was top notch and I can’t speak highly enough of the staff and manager who all went out of their way to ensure a warm welcome and comfortable stay.

Fantastic place to stay, breath of fresh air. Superb room with high quality decor and fittings and really nice little touches like cookies in the room with fresh milk in the fridge. Great food in the restaurant served by pleasant staff, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Would love to have tried the breakfast but unfortunately needed to leave early, one thing I think would make this gem better is to offer an early breakfast option as this would have been a big bonus for me, however, this is a lovely place to stay and I will definitely be returning.

The room was extremely comfortable, the food was great(definitely some of the best food I’ve had whilst in England) and never took long. If I could pack up the entire hotel and staff and take it wherever I travel I would. That’s how good my stay was. If I’m ever in that area of England I will be staying there!

Convenient location for wedding venue. Staff very friendly. Room clean and bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, only able to have cold showers as temperature control wasn't working - seemed to be broken and couldn't adjust water temperature at all, or switch between the two shower heads. Hot water was coming out of the sink hot tap. Guests in another room also mentioned the shower in their room also seemed to be broken and they were also only able to have cold showers.

Nice accommodation, comfortable bed, had everything you need. My only complaint is that the rooms are incredibly hot. We did stay in peak summer, and they did provide a small fan, but the room was still uncomfortably warm. Other than that it’s a lovely hotel.
