The owners were lovely, very friendly & welcoming. made us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. Everything was perfect. The room & bathroom were very nice & very peaceful. We were given fresh milk on arrival for our room. The lovely owners even laid up the dining table for us so we could eat fish & chips we got in the evening in comfort. Breakfast was amazing 10/10. And the view from our room was beautiful 10+/10 as it over looked the river. Which was all lite up when it got dark. It was so nice we didn't even shut the curtains. We will 100% stay again & would recommend it. Thank you for a beautiful stay.

    We stayed for the Sweeps Festival, a celebration of traditional dance and music which sadly was spoilt a little by weather on one day, but if the indoor events don’t appeal there is a variety of bars and places to eat and alternative activities are a visit to a thousand year old castle and the 2nd oldest Cathedral in the UK, Guildhall Museum or a short drive away there is Chatham Historical Dockyard, and Royal Engineers museum.

    Castle and cathedral are first class.

    Castle and cathedral are first class. Eastgate House very interesting. Good Italian restaurant and plenty of other choices. Everywhere within easy walking distance. Whole High Street noisy on Saturday night. Guildhall Museum, Restoration House and Huguenot Museum shut for our visit. Tourist Information Office shut down

    Rochester is very charming.

    Rochester is very charming. The High Street is very lovely with lots of quality second hand shops, if this is your thing. I was absolutely mesmerized by the castle. Well worth climbing the stairs all to the top, especially on a sunny day, the view is amazing. (check for opening times). The cathedral is really beautiful, do go inside if you are there. You can just go in and explore the cathedral or do a guided tour (also check for opening times). The town has a very rich history. You could also choose do do a walking trail along the river. The Royal Crown Pub has a lot of character and the food was really tasty.

    I think some money needs to be spent updating the decor of the hotel and rooms. The room rate is inexpensive and hotel is in a good location but it is looking a bit worn. There was a crack in the top corner of room near the front window of our room and given the connection of the hotel with Charles Dickens, the hotel undersells itself. There was also loud music coming from the bar downstairs in same hotel complex.

    Rochester is great The Royal Victoria and Bull Hotel is not somewhere anyone should trust to stay. Where was the staff? Why was the gates locked? Why was there not a message on the gate or at reception? How is this hotel allowed to remain in relation to health and safetytt?

    Different places and things appeal to different people. OK.

    Different places and things appeal to different people. OK. But I'm more than happy to put in a word for Rochester, It was, until 1998 when "Medway" (population 250,000 was created from Rochester, Chatham, Strood, Gillingham and Rainham, all today more or less contiguous) a historic and important small City. Now Rochester is just a "Town", which seems frankly ludicrous. Population only 60,000 and they have problems. The High Street includes far too many Charity Shops, although also some beautiful and historic buildings. Too close to London. But Rochester also has the second oldest Cathedral in England, and still largely Norman Architecture rather than Canterbury's huge late Gothic. Rochester also boasts the tallest and best preserved Norman castle keep in both England and France. Then there are all the links with Charles Dickens and much else besides. And then the Chatham Historic Dockyard, worth a day's time of anyone interested in British history and only a few miles from Rochester. I note the 2021 Lonely Planet Great Britain (page 162) manages just over 2 column inches on Chatham Dockyard. And that's it. Not even a mention of Rochester or "Medway" in the index. That, in my book, is all you need to know about "Guide Books"!

    The location was beautiful. Set in the countryside with immaculate garden, plenty of room to park and the barn has been lovingly renovated with tasteful decor and furnishings. The owners were friendly and accommodating with great suggestions of places to eat and visit. The breakfast selection was varied, nicely presented and more importantly delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return when we visit family in Kent again.

    Beautiful property, with a fantastic garden. Very quiet property and area, but well placed next to Rochester and the Medway. Fantastic breakfast in my room and hosts very welcoming. Garden with the barn was fantastic too. Room was huge and included a small annex room and large bathroom. No bath, but shower had good pressure and was nice and hot. If you are staying in Kent, I would recommend this hotel.

    Property had free parking for guests. Rooms were clean and tidy with clean towels and toiletries. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed as we were attending a wedding at Cooling Castle. The hotel put on a free shuttle service to drop off and pick up at wedding venue. This was a great service! Driver friendly. Also included free breakfast. Great value for money. Thank you!

    As I was there to dance with my Morris side at the Rochester Sweeps Festival, the fact that the event begins right outside the hotel was ideal. Another benefit was the fact that I could park my car at a safe location within the environs of the hotel throughout our stay. The bed was enormous compared to other places we stay at for folk festivals during the year.

    What a wonderful experience! Truly unique piece of British Maritime history, with fascinating story. Our room enjoyed serene views across the Medway down to Rochester. Breakfast was simple but just what was needed. Inner Dowsing Lightvessel is managed by a lovely couple who could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you!

    The Hotel is the typical British, countryside place where you can enjoy the actual Brit feeling. Very traditional and this is the key point which makes the hotel special, there is no pretence to offer something which is not truly part of the English hospitality.
