'I had not stayed at The Cartford for some years: it has changed hands in that time. What an improvement! I had a very comfortable room with a decent firm bed and a very relaxing walk-in shower. The food at dinner and breakfast was excellent and the real beer very drinkable. I'm glad I went back and will definitely stay there again.'

'After sipping champagne in a sun drenched garden, with recomended home made crackers and dips, (amazing), we took a couple of hours to relax in our beautiful room over looking the river, came down to a lively, welcoming bar on a clearly busy saturday night, everybody is relaxed and informal but doing a realy good job, we had a fabulous dinner in the river view restaurant and topped of by a vist from a local hedgehog outside, we retired to our room and awoke to fresh coffe and bird songs, finished with a breakfast of our choice, what a wounderful escape!!!!!!!'

'This was our first visit to the Cartford Inn and I can safely say it will be the first of many. We arrived in time for a great lunch and a pint before talking a walk along the river. We're glad we built up an appetite for dinner - try the beef and oxtail suet pudding! There are several real ales on handpump - all very well kept. We stayed over and our bedroom (room 5) was great: clean, a very comfortable bed and a lovely view over the river. To top it all, this pub stands head and shoulders over the competition for its customer service. From the moment we arrived to when we left Julie and her team made us feel very welcome. All the staff we met were friendly and polite without being overbearing. All in all, I can't recommend this place highly enough.'

At the risk of being gushing the food was exactly the same really gorgeous menu beautifully delivered, well executed and staff service which was warm friendly and efficient.

From our arrival right through to our departure we were made extremely welcome by the owner and all their staff, who were friendly and helpful and stayed calm even on Saturday evening when the bar and restaurant were crowded. Our room was delightful and our evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Many comments have been made about the artwork and decor; yes, it is certainaly eclectic, but we thought it was bright and fun and you just keep finding further things to surprise and delight. All-in-all, an excellent place to stay!'

'As a mother's day treat we went to 'The Cartford Inn' & we cannot praise it enough. On arrival we were greeted by smiles from ALL the staff & everyone was so, so helpful. Our room had a bed in the middle of the room, first reaction was 'how storage' but then we could see the reason why! As we lay on the bed the view through the French window was breathe taking. The whole room & walk in shower was fabulous. The evening meal accompanied with fine wine was EXCELLENT some of the best food we have eaten (& we eat out EVERY Sunday at a wide range of restraunts). We both slept like babies & in the morning once again enjoyed the beautiful view. Smiles greeted us in the morning & a gorgeous breakfast cooked to perfection. We can only praise EVERY aspect of our stay, the only regret was we couldn't stay longer. We are already looking to visit again. With our grateful thanks to you all.

'Dear Julie and Patrick and your fantastic staff, Thanks for the wonderful weekend we spent with you in your Penthouse, we realy did not want to leave. Its not everyday you splash out and we were treating ourselves following my wife's recent operation, We couldnt have chosen anywhere better. We were welcomed personally by Julie when we arrived and this set the tone for a wonderful stay. We had seen the pictures of the Penthouse on the web site but they just do not do it justice. We were wowed by the style, glamour but most of all the comfort of the room . You can get style and glamour but its hard to get comfort as well and this was particularly welcome to us. This room was by far the best we have ever stayed in and we are seasoned travellers. We found it hard to leave the room, but when we did the bar and restaurant did not disappoint. We are regular customers of the Cartford pub and restaurant and have often had wonderful meals here but this was a particularly busy Halloween weekend and the atmosphere was wonderful , full of fun, all the staff dressed in Halloween costumes and some were amazing. We particularly liked the werewolf and the pumpkin, We have loved our stay and thank you all for making it such a wonderful time and memory we will be back. P. S. Sorry we forgot to give they key back, probably subconsciously not wanted to give it back, I will pop in the post tonight. Maria and Davexx'
