Four of us met for lunch . Unfortunately the sandwich I ordered was served on mouldy brown bread which I noticed after eating half. Despite not being charged for my meal it really put my friends off their food . Unfortunately we won't be going back .

A very charming hotel very quiet, overlooking the miniature steam railway, service is good and personal and probably the best place to stay if you want to get on the railway. Regulars at the bar are very friendly and happy to have a chat. Food is great specially the Sunday roast

Stayed for one night only. Booked via Expedia. Paid £52 for a double for the night with breakfast. Room was clean, but needs a refresh. I know we didn’t pay much. But it could be so much better. Breakfast on the other hand a was brilliant. Freshly cooked and hot.

Booked this as a 3 day break for our wedding anniversary. I wish I hadn’t bothered. Was shown to the room by a lad on the bar. Corridors were dusty and stair carpet stained. The double room was furnished with cheap upcycled furniture, the green nylon duvet and pillows were very uninviting but the worst thing of all was the mould and peeling paint on the shower room ceiling. The sealant around the sink was discoloured and lifting. The whole place needed a good clean. I quickly cancelled the following 2 nights. I knew there was no way I could sleep there. We went downstairs and spoke to the lad on the bar, he said he would get the manager. Few minutes later he came back and said he was out, took my number and said he would call me back. No call. I messaged the manager 3 times and eventually I received a rude email informing there was nothing to say, there would be no refund and because in desperation I had mentioned trip advisor I was threatening him. £90 pounds down and trip ruined. Luckily we found a room in another hotel for similar price and couldn’t have been happier. Lesson learned. Don’t believe the photos. Needs Alex Polizzi to sort the place out.

Went in with an older relative today for lunch, three of us. Really nice food, well cooked, well presented and a real feel and taste of home made. Lad behind the bar was really friendly and we felt very well looked after. Puddings delicious. Well done and thank you.

Sleeping was difficult with one of the pillows reeking of cigarette breath for the first night, but John fixed it for the second, and a more comfortable night was had. The shower rail was broken and the valve needed to be properly fixed, both on the shower and the hand basin, which the owner promised to fix. My sister’s shower screen was derailed too. The room light bulb was very dim, but the bedside light dazzled. Breakfast was adequate. The owner seems keen to address these points, and time will tell if he succeeds, but for the price paid, I would normally have expected not to feel obliged to provide a negative review, and have avoided this in the past by ensuring the cleaner notifies any problems before guests have to, at my own property let.

We stayed here as a family in August ‘21 for one night and found the accommodation to be clean & comfortable. The hosts were really welcoming, attentive and took time to inform us of the history of the area and local sites which might be of interest. We would definitely return to this hotel and found it very good value for money.

My daughter and I had the pleasure of staying at the Captain Howey for 3 nights. We both had a wonderful stay. John and Chris are wonderful landlords, friendly and willing to go the extra mile for any guests. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the food is delicious. I'd recommend the scampi. The hotel is well located, opposite the light railway, which is a train station operating steam and internal combustion locomotives. My daughter particularly enjoyed the ride to Dymchurch. It is also about a 10 minute walk to the centre of New Romney which has a few shops, and a 10 minute walk to the pebble beach. All in all, this has been a fantastic stay and a great big thank you to John and Chris!

So friendly and welcoming . Unfortunately their cooking facilities were out of order when we visited so they were happy for us to have a takeaway in the marquee even came out to see if we needed condiments etc. Really nice people. I would recommend.
