At the Swingate for Sunday lunch . The yorksire puddings were frozen inside. My wife's 'nut roast' turned out to be veggie burgers from. Iceland - they too were cold and uncooked. The bill came for 4 adults and 1 child- there were 2 adults and 3 children - not recommended! More

Have used this hotel a couple of times to visit relations in nearby Walmer. It's comfortable enough, certainly not flashy. Food is very acceptable. Decor is on the tired side but for 1 or 2 nights stopover, more than adequate More

We had our wedding here on the 25 June 2011 and the day was perfect... We was looked after very well and the place looked beautiful on our day. We looked for a small, private wedding and it fitted the bill perfect. As the groom i arrived one hour before it was due to start and was welcomed and everything... More

I am sorry that your stay with us at The Swingate was not up to your satisfaction, can only apoligise. However i do feel that your review was unfair as i do remember your stay. We always have staff on site. On this particular night i answered your phone call and met you in the lobby to discuss your disatisfaction... More

Recently stayed at the Swingate and got overcharged by £12.00. Did not realise it at the time and the following morning there was nobody about to complain to. If you stay there do not have breakfast because it was £7.00 worth of rubbish More

The staff were most welcoming and the food in the restaurant and breakfast was very good and reasonably priced.The rooms were clean & bright , the only downside the water pressure needs attention as loo did not flush easily. The Inn... More

Stayed here for 1 night in July. The Inn was easy to find with GPS. Right on the side of the road which was fairly busy late in the afternoon but the traffic didn't bother us during the night. The Inn looked quite pretty from the outside and the guy who checked us in was very friendly and took us... More

The motel charges hotel prices, imagine you get a four bedroom room for £20 and you will get the level of comfort here. The stair carpet is dirty, the room had a prison window which was claustrophobic making to say the least. The bathroom had peeling wallpaper, the towel rail which was three foot long fell onto my son's head.... More
