This is a wonderful Kentish Inn. The log fire, the cozy seating and the food and drinks on offer make this out of the way place a secret oasis. The rooms are excellent, clean, warm and all the facilities you expect. And absolute value for money. And did I mention the food? Fantastic menu, great service and worth every penny. Fantastic place, can’t recommend it highly enough!

2 night working trip solo. A lovely old pub with olde world charm. You really couldn't find a pub more quintessentially English. Rooms lovely and warm with spacious bathroom (Clover, block 4). Restaurant also very good but £11 for a glass of wine is pushing it a bit. Have the prawns starter and sausage and mash to get the best value out of it.

We arrived at the property earlier than the booking time and were given access to our room straight away. There was plenty of parking. All the staff were very helpful and attentive.

Another great stay.

We love this place, but we love it for a reason, the food is amazing, the staff go out of their way to make sure you have a great visit/stay and the rooms are a perfect place to crash after a few drinks. The pub also has a lovely warm atmosphere that is so welcoming and relaxing. For us it’s our perfect bolt hole to escape London.

Amazing place to stay eat and relax.

We are regulars visitors to the Black Horse Inn. But the reason we are is because it’s such a wonderful place to come. It’s a cosy pub with a warm chilled friendly atmosphere. The staff are lovely and do their absolute best to make your visit perfect. The food is always amazing and is sourced locally with some great chef’s special dishes and the rooms are cosy, comfortable and good value. We will be back again very soon.

Over night stay in Detling Kent

A lovely clean fresh room. The Pub is a beautiful quaint typical English pub with beams in the ceilings and hops hung up everywhere. The room (accessed by outside paths - but every room has an umbrella for use). Room has everything you need. Tea, coffee, biscuits, soaps, shampoo etc. We took our dog and the 'dog pack' is a wonderful idea with treats, poop bag towel and cover to protect bedding (if your dog is inclined to sleep on your bed). I would happily stay here again and recommend to my friends.

My family and I booked rooms at the Blackhorse Inn this weekend as we were attending a wedding in the area. We had a pleasant stay at the Inn. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We had breakfast which was very nice, with a varied choice. Would recommend the Blackhorse Inn.
