Our room had a great view of the church and as it was hot during our stay we kept the window open all night and listened to the dawn chorus.There were fans in each room which did help. We ate dinner in the pretty pub garden and were impressed with the menu choice and quality of food served. In fact the who experiences was wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and overall we had a great time .

Negative: Nothing to dislike

Summary: Great local pub with rooms in Smarden .
