The Star and Eagle Hotel

We went to the restaurant here on Saturday 26th October, had 4 different waitresses, my partner ordered the sirloin steak which was so bland it was like it had been boiled no seasoning no taste whatsoever i had the soo called Guinness steak pie also no good the pastry was like cutting through rock on complaining they knocked £ 4.00 off the steak, we eat out quite a lot at nice restaurants and this is probably the worst meal and service we have encountered in the last 2 years, will most certainly not be going there again.

A lovely old building. Very old. Welcomed nicely enough. A real plus would have been offer of some help assistance luggage up the very small stairs ( which I realise you can rightly do nothing about). But not to be. The room had beautiful views. And the rooms ( bedroom and bathroom) were pleasant and clean enough. The bed really seemed more like a small double in size. It was uncomfortable. The atmosphere in the bar area was busy enough. The menu a bit hard to read as one item merged into another on a blackboard. Very crowded. Use two blackboards ! A lady at the bar we recognised from before and she was her usual lovely self. Our server though was a bit miserable though. My other half had fish and chips and he enjoyed his throughly. But not the low % beer. Too perfumed. My wine was warmish. And not chilled. My meal ( pork belly ) seemed okay but by the morning my body decided it wasn't a fan. We were really sorry that it was not such a nice stay this time as we had enjoyed it before. We do want to enjoy where we go ! Overall it was a bit pricey for the experience this time.

We met friends here today and had a superb lunch. It was cosy with a log fire and food and staff were exceptional. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again, would even consider an overnight stay. Goudhurst is such a pretty village.

Very old building. Some very low ceilings so be careful ! There are plenty of warnings to mind your head. Very clean. Lovely comfortable bed in a large room. Big bathroom. Pleasant and helpful staff. Very nice courtyard to sit outside in the sun. Meals were delicious. Good portion size, beautifully cooked. Slightly unusual menu but that did not detract at all. Would certainly go there again.

Our daughters wedding venue and it was magical, we stayed for three nights, wedding reception in hotel, dancing and merriment next door in the 8 bells, the team could not have been more attentive if they tried- many thanks to you all for making our daughters wedding so special

A very pleasant one night stay at the Star & Eagle in Goudhurst Kent. Very helpful staff, lovely meal and our room was small but comfortable. Although it was no fault of the Hotel we could not get a taxi to take us to our event and after 17 phone calls I contacted the event organisers to cancel.
