Pulled up on the Harley Dee on the way home to tonbridge from Cornwall. We were much happier staying in this pub than the one we stayed in for three nights in Cornwall. Great bedroom. Really nice evening meal and a fresh cooked to order breakfast. Proper pint.
Cheers my dears. Staying again 17th august this year.

We didn?t stay, but booked a meal Tuesday night, our choice arrived and quickly realised it wasn?t up to scratch. Our second choice was excellent, my curry dish, the meat was tender, not over hot with the sauce. Followed by a peach Bellini, just delightful

Great country pub with rooms. We did not stay so can't comment on the rooms.
The pub is a good size with lots of old period features such as open fires. (Not applicable as we visited in summer). Good menu and we had a variety of food over 3 visits. All very well home cooked and very tasty. We also tried the Sunday roast which includes a variety of cost options per portion of meat with endless Veg for each option. We particularly liked the roast carrots and cauliflower cheese.
Normal menu includes light bites option and we would recommend the lasagna although everything thing we tried was very good with generous portions (we had to go light bites after day 1!)
Marnhull is the fictional setting for Tess of the d'Urbervilles and the Crown features as the Pure Drop Inn.

My husband and I eat here regularly but something has changed. Went last night 21 June, different menu, not many options for me, poor food and not at all what we would expect. Wrong order came out for my husband so I ate alone whilst they sorted it. My husbands food tasted very strange and the bread was hard. It was surprisingly quiet in the bar and regular staff weren't there. It seems the establishment is under new management or was it a bad night. Won't be going back soon. Disappointed

Friendly service and pie of the day was great, but the veg was very overcooked, soggy and inedible - and the mash was solid. Bit disappointing overall
