Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Plumpton House is often praised for its beautiful, quiet location near Wye village, offering amazing views of the surrounding Kent countryside. Guests frequently enjoy the spacious and clean rooms, some featuring en-suite bathrooms and comfortable beds, along with extra amenities like fleece throws. The freshly cooked full English breakfast served in the kitchen stands out as a highlight for many, though some guests have noted that the curtains in certain rooms could be improved to block out early morning sunlight. Safe parking is available, and the hotel's proximity to attractions like the Eurotunnel and a large Tesco adds to its convenience.

basic stay near tunnel

large portionson-site parkingconvenient drivethin curtains
the breakfast had many options and large portions. parking existed on site, so i did not worry about my car. i could bring takeaway food back to eat downstairs, it was convenient after a long drive.
the curtains were very thin. this allowed all the sunlight to enter the room, so i woke up early. they need proper curtains. this should ensure guests can sleep comfortably.

Acceptable Stay with Issues

weak shower pressurethin curtains
I found a few issues . The shower pressure was weak. It barely produced a trickle. I noticed the curtains were quite thin, causing the room to be filled with sunlight very early in the morning around 4:30 AM, which disrupted my sleep. These issues impacted my overall experience negatively.
