Since the change of ownership about a year ago, The Howey has transformed dramatically. The owner (Dino) and management have spent so much time, money and effort transforming this place from ‘just a pub’ to a real community asset. The management in particular (Bruce,Lindsay) give the place such a positive, welcoming family feel. Food is fairly priced, ample portions and delicious. Highlights for us are the loaded fries from the pub snacks menu and we love our Saturday morning breakfasts every few weeks. I cannot recommend this place enough - a gem.

The room was absolutely stunning and great value, was left speechless at the décor and how homely it felt! Absolutely incredible staff in both the hotel and bar/restaurant. Hotel staff always greeted us with a smile and a friendly "good morning" and the room was always clean and restocked if items were used. Breakfast was delicious and the Service was brilliant and very quick. Very laid back vibe and No curfew means you can explore the local nightlife at your own leisure. Located directly opposite the miniature railway which can make for a great day out, and with situated a few yards from a local bus route as well.Would definitely recommend for a lovely stay, and was perfect for our weekend stay.

The room was immaculate. You can tell whoever runs this hotel really cares, the way it had been styled felt like you were staying at a friends home rather than a hotel. …

I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday dinner experience at the Captain Howey Pub in Littlestone, New Romney. The roast beef was cooked to perfection, accompanied by tender carrots, broccoli, and a delightful Yorkshire pudding. The gravy and roast potatoes added an extra layer of flavor that made the meal truly exceptional. Just as I thought this could not get any better, I was presented the most amazing homemade sticky toffee pudding that rounded off the afternoon on a sweet note. The attentive waitresses and Kayleigh, the landlady, provided excellent service, contributing to the overall positive dining experience. I would highly recommend Captain Howie for a delightful Sunday dinner outing especially after a long walk along the coastline.
