Rocky Hill is my kind of B&B, attending a friend's wedding nearby Ros and Andy could not have been more accommodating.|On arrival at this beautiful historic home we were greeted by Ros who made us feel very much welcome. …

Rose was a wonderful host and full of contagious humor. The house met exactly the expectations of a B & B. A cosy room in an enchanted house (500 y old!), a lot of memorabilia that could tell their story. And Rose- always in a in a good mood. A little bit tricky to find, but Google maps did it. Highly recommended.

I don't normally do reviews, but this B&B deserves my effort: My daughter and I enjoyed the comfortable and spacious rooms offered by Roz and Andy in late September 2022. They were very accommodating, even allowing another daughter, staying in the area on business, to share breakfast with us. Such lovely people! The floor boards may have creaked a bit, but what do you expect in a 500-year old house? Best recommendation has to be the hot water - something of a rarity in the UK, I've found.

We booked Rocky Hill House not really knowing what to expect, we literally needed a place to lay our heads as we were going to a party. Well, what a pleasant surprise we had. …

Just stayed one night but was the only guest. I was on a night out in Maidstone and a taxi home would have cost far more. So I booked RHH. The hosts were absolutely perfect. Room was great. …
