The Star and Eagle Hotel

The Star and Eagle in Goudhurst offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed drink. The staff are friendly, attentive, and helpful, ensuring a pleasant visit. Whilst we didn’t sample the food, the ambiance alone makes it a great spot to unwind. Highly recommended for a casual outing or a drink with friends!

A lovely old building. Very old. Welcomed nicely enough. A real plus would have been offer of some help assistance luggage up the very small stairs ( which I realise you can rightly do nothing about). But not to be. The room had beautiful views. And the rooms ( bedroom and bathroom) were pleasant and clean enough. The bed really seemed more like a small double in size. It was uncomfortable. The atmosphere in the bar area was busy enough. The menu a bit hard to read as one item merged into another on a blackboard. Very crowded. Use two blackboards ! A lady at the bar we recognised from before and she was her usual lovely self. Our server though was a bit miserable though. My other half had fish and chips and he enjoyed his throughly. But not the low % beer. Too perfumed. My wine was warmish. And not chilled. My meal ( pork belly ) seemed okay but by the morning my body decided it wasn't a fan. We were really sorry that it was not such a nice stay this time as we had enjoyed it before. We do want to enjoy where we go ! Overall it was a bit pricey for the experience this time.

Very old building. Some very low ceilings so be careful ! There are plenty of warnings to mind your head. Very clean. Lovely comfortable bed in a large room. Big bathroom. Pleasant and helpful staff. Very nice courtyard to sit outside in the sun. Meals were delicious. Good portion size, beautifully cooked. Slightly unusual menu but that did not detract at all. Would certainly go there again.
