We had a night away from the kids and The Blazing Donkey was perfect for it, accomodation was perfect, Breakfast was delicious and the staff were polite, funny and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend it to anyone for a cheeky night off from the kids or for a venue for family gatherings etc really, I can't speak highly enough of this place,Sandra is a wonderful hostess she's on the ball and very welcoming and really takes the time to give you alot of attention without being over the top. Thank you guys for a great stay we will definitely be back!Rooms: Rooms were clean, well decorated and snug.Food & drinks: Cooked breakfast was great, quality fresh food well source, perfectly cook and more importantly no grease or nastiness. As much fresh coffee as you can drink with juices on the side. Really well put together.Noteworthy details: We were out and about after check in and it got pretty cold in the evening and when we came back to the Blazing Donkey we sat by an open fire for drinks and relaxing, if was so nice and romantic can't speak highly enough of it, such a great atmosphere.

Wow, wow and wow. This place is amazing.Bruce and Sandra are beautiful souls.We booked our table online not realising they were closed. Bruce and Sandra honoured our booking.The food was out of this world. Will defiantly be going back and still can not get over how reasonable the bill was.Can not recommend this place and people enough. Deserves more than 5 stars.

Not a bad word to say about this

My husband and I got married at the Blazing Donkey. Nothing was too much trouble. They listened to what I wanted and didn't push their own agenda. Last minute changes on the day were managed with no fuss. As a bride, I had a truly amazing and stress free day, exactly what every bride wants.We booked all of the rooms for our guests in advance. Several of the guests said it was the best wedding they had been too.

The food was perfect was yummy and right amount to keep me comfortable for enjoy the rest of the night . Then the room was as cosy as I could ask ... In my resume it was perfect for me but also for my daughter who looked very happy...

Was married at The Blazing Donkey last Summer, it was the most perfect day myself & my wife could have hoped for! From the initial meet & greet, to our show round and tasting, everything was handled professionally but with the personal touch made us both feel so happy for the choice of venue, it?s ridiculously stunning in the Kent country side, the ceremony took part on the grounds with an amazing summers day weather.I can?t say a bad word, our wedding breakfast, timings and accommodation for our families were amazing, food was too and we even managed to bag a couple of the glamping huts.Literally the best day of our lives, thank you to Richard, Sherry and their team, you really made our day special

After a few months of searching for the perfect wedding venue we finally chose The Blazing Donkey and it was as if it was made for us, we couldn?t have found anything more perfect.We were so lucky with the weather and the staff let us have free rein of the place with the decor.I stayed in one of the courtyard rooms the night before and we hosted a bespoke steak night for the bridal party with cocktails which was a nice touch. The food was world class.The big day itself?? The best day of my life. The setting, the food, the staff, the bridal suite, the attention to every single detail we requested was 5 star, we wouldn?t have wished for more. We had so many compliments from friends and family.We will be back in 6 months for a stay to celebrate being Mr & Mrs, thank you

What a beautiful venue! We attended a wedding here and had such a lovely day. The bride & groom were over the moon with their special day and us guests had a wonderful time too. The food was really nice, the best wedding food we?ve had! Staff were super friendly and made sure everyone was happy. We stayed the night which was very comfortable and clean, breakfast was included which was a delicious bonus! Would love to visit again for a weekend away. Thank you Blazing Donkey, hope to see you again soon ??

Avoid? Cheap for a reason and they make up the cost with the price of drinks and their lies. Communication is the worst part, cannot get hold of them via phone or email even if you leave a message you get 0 response. Sold absolute lies when booking just to get your business as soon as they have it they have 0 care for you or your day. Was told when we booked the ?ALL? rooms package that we get ?ALL? the rooms which it even states on the leaflet but 2 of my guests ended up shoved in the horrible tents behind the rooms and their 2 rooms was filled with random people?. So much for their biggest sell point ?Exclusivity?. Received no contract or invoices the entire time, took 1 month after our wedding to receive our no damage deposit back whilst being lied to again saying it had been sent when it had not. The rooms are in a poor state, showers completely blocked with limescale among other stuff. Food is poor compared to the taster that you have before the wedding and the breakfast is cold and overly greasy, non cooked eggs and gone off milk. Marque is falling apart( there was a giant hole in the floor). The prices of drink kept going up as the night went on? and as for Clint(wedding co-ordination) what a stuck up individual the guy is. If I could rewind time I would 120% not book this place
