OMG! The BEST time with you. Everything was just PERFECTION! Big shout out to Vivienne (apologies if incorrectly spelt), she's an asset to Boys Hall, we loved her. Every other staff member, a dream! From check in, the most gorgeous room, dinner, lounge drinks, breakfast to check out. Faultless and genuinely spot on. Can't wait to come back. You are what Kent has needed in like forever. Thank You for everything x

Booked for lunch with my friend and had never been there before. The venue has the wow factor, the weather was glorious so we were given the open of sitting outside. The staff could not have been any more professional and welcoming, Vivian was so lovely. The food was great and we will definitely be back, maybe with the additional hotel rooms next time! Ps the bar area looks stunning, we had a quick look on our way out. 👌

We stayed here overnight and had dinner and breakfast. We arrived before check-in time and were treated to complimentary tea, coffee and a delicious chocolate layer cake. Dinner was wonderful. We started with cocktails in the lounge and I had the Mulberry Lady. Then we went into the restaurant for a sumptuous meal. I started with the white crab with devilled egg crumpet with Thermidor sauce and my partner had beetroot tart with white onion cream, fennel and apple relish. For the main course We had lamb cutlets and butterflied sea bream and for dessert I had apple and pear crumble. There is a very extensive wine list and I finished with a Brandy Alexander and a hazelnut whip cocktail. Our room was huge and very comfortable. There is plenty of space in the car park and the staff were all wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. Boys Hall was not cheap, but was worth the money. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Special occasion Sunday lunch with a group of friends. Pre lunch drinks in the lounge then to our table as per our booking time. As a group with hearing not at its best the acoustics were very good much better than many restaurants. Most of the starters were excellent though the beetroot tart perhaps a little modest for the price. Main roasts excellent and we left full. My only gripe were that the roast potatoes were I think perhaps 'triple roasted' with lots of lovely crunchy fat but very little potato. I think the waitress may have been encouraged to get us to order extra sides (cauliflower cheese). Watch out though for the mark up on the wine and check prices before ordering if offered an alternative by the servers

First time for all of us! Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Stunning restaurant, Beautiful grounds as you enter the main restaurant. We sat in the garden for a drink first, really enjoyed that. Attention to detail, 10/10! Beautifully presented food, The most amazing starter, (white crab & egg) Good size portions! Normal waiting time between each serving. Relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, yet very busy so that created a nice ambience. Lovely staff, the lady with long blonde hair who took the time to speak with us and showed a genuine interest. Her service was memorable. Overall, l'd love to come back! Definitely worth a visit. Some might say it's a little on the pricey side, but I think most would also say that it's a special venue. Not sure about the mixed toilets. It's just not what l'm use to and I prefer a separate Ladies & Gents. However, it seems to be something that's becoming more common.

We had a really wonderful one night stay this weekend and plan to come back later this year. This hotel is very easily accessible from Ashford International making it a prime weekend getaway location for those living in London. The common areas are super comfortable and stylishly decorated - perfect for relaxing with a drink or the complimentary tea/coffee/cake which is provided in the afternoons. There are various tables and benches available outside to take advantage of in the warmer months. We stayed in Banks which was beautiful and up on its own on the 2nd floor - the bathtub with the view is definitely a highlight! Lovely products for use - we ended up buying a hand cleanser to take home. Overall the hotel has quite a limited number of rooms which makes for a very personal experience with staff recognising and checking in with the hotel guests regularly (even for a one night stay). We also really enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant. Have to admit we felt a little fussy but the service in the restaurant was top tier, handled all of our requests etc. as if they were no bother at all. Extremely accommodating service. Food / wine were delicious as well. Same goes with breakfast! Only thing we will note is that hot breakfast is not included in your stay - these must be ordered and paid for separately. Continental breakfast items (fruit, yogurt, toast, croissants) + coffee/tea are included per note on the booking page.

The setting is perfect the garden is immaculate and the outside space will be perfect in the summer. First impressions are important and we were greeted with a very warm welcome. All the staff were amazing and attentive but not over the top. We were shown to our table and the interior is beautifully set up and the wood burner was perfect. We went with another couple and we all ordered different food which was all faultless. The wine we had was one of the best reds I've had in a long time. The setting was perfect, the food incredible and the staff were exceptional. We had a fantastic evening and will return soon. Thank you to all the staff for a perfect evening.

On arrival I was impressed with the main building . We were logged in and invited to relax in the lounge,which was very pleasant if a little dark. We ordered drinks which took 20 minutes to arrive! Fifteen minutes after our booked time in the restaurant we were taken to our table. The restaurant is a moden extension well presented but no thought has been given to the acoustics, the atmosphere was most disagreeable with the noise level though the roof. I was not able to hear anybody in my party across the table! The starters to 30 minutes to arrive with only three out of four arriving together and the forth did not arrive until the others had finished theirs. Another long wait ensured before our mains arrived with staff apologising at intervals calling us GUYS before making the excuses for poor service . The whole meal experience took Two and a half hours without coffee. VERY DISAPOINTING as the quality of the food was excellent.

My first visit since the conversion by the new owners. The extension has been sympathetically done and the dining area is bright, airy and spacious. A very nice lunch with a good range of choices. Driving prevented me from sampling the wine list but it looks extensive with good Kent/Sussex examples, and there is also an interesting range of cocktails. My stone bass was very nicely cooked and there is a good choice of vegetables. Excellent service from Tom, and thanks to Natasha for her help/attention and for giving us a tour of the older part of the building. I'm told sunday lunch is very good - we will certainly put it to the test.

Wow!!!! Seriously wow! We came tonight for the first time! I have missed out for so long!!!! We went for our 18th anniversary and to celebrating having enough money to go out for a slap up meal! This did not disappoint! From the second we arrived we were met by what felt like life long friends. Instantly felt at home and I was so excited for every second! We had the most beautiful local pink champagne! From Canterbury! Simpsons! Stunning! Then sat in the restaurant to again be greeted by instant comfort! We had the blended mozzarella, pesto and walnut! Sensational! Also the croquettes! Totally recommend these nibbles to start. Then to the porterhouse steak!!!!!!!!!!!! No words can describe this taste sensation!! The meat just melted in your mouth, the potatoes were out of this world, the root veg was stunning! We couldn’t eat another thing - yet we had the souffle and the espresso martini! Huge shout out to Lily, Nina and Vivi! You made our evening and we are so grateful! I cannot recommend this place enough for ticking every single box! I left making friends and a new home!

Cannot recommend Boys Hall enough! we came back in December for a little treat for ourselves and went with a couple of friends. From the moment we arrived, we loved it. Beautifully decorated, really cosy and welcoming. Staff were amazing, so friendly and couldn't do more for you. We had lunch with you and also stayed overnight, staying in Banks and De Bois. Rooms were beautiful, really comfortable bed. Breakfast the next day was lovely, we've stayed at another place not too far away from Boys Hall which is ALOT more expensive and the breakfast there was honestly shocking whereas at Boys Hall it's all homemade produce, as much as you like of it all and was delicious. We will definitely be back and I can't wait!!

Stunning venue! We didn't stay as we live local but went to the restaurant. Lovely food and atmosphere. We were a bit sceptical of the hype regarding Boys Hall, so we had put off going here but figured we'd treat ourselves to a nice lunch, and we were very pleasantly surprised. It's definitely worth asking about the set menu though as it's basically the same as the regular menu, but it works out a lot cheaper. But overall, it certainly lives up to it's reputation. It easilly beats other local places like Stubbs for quality. We will definitely be returning!

My wife and I visited Boys Hall on Saturday the 27th for the first time, we were pleased to see no dogs here which seems to be the “ in thing” at the moment? I hope that is the rules here well at least in the restaurant as we do love dogs but not at a quality food establishment like this! Anyway I’m going to keep this short, everything we ate on Saturday was just amazing, we cannot praise the food any higher and when we were told the head chef Charlie was only 27 years old we were even more impressed he well deserved the Michelin recognition and so soon! As I said all dishes we ate were amazing but I must pick out personally the Venison it was sublime! Later Charlie came out and had a quick chat with us and he is also a fantastic approachable man who will be a name of note for the future! Thank you all at Boys Hall as the chef said it a brilliant team that makes it all work and Boy; did it work for us! See you soon. Phil & Angela

Lovely 400 years old building and really friendly staff, the pub and restaurant were great But if you get the Margaret room asked to be moved.... unless you love noise 😔. With an early start, we needed a good night and we were far from it. We waited quite a long time before asking the staff to ask them to go to the pub area and after it was much quieter. Until the party came to the room next door. With a bit of music, and drunk, one of them was shouting my name and my wife nationality. It is difficult for me to comprehend how they got hold of our personal information. Despite the stunning environment, I would never stay again save your money and stay in premier Inn for a better night sleep.

I haven't given a star rating for rooms because I was there for a meal only. But, as to the other two criteria, the location is stunning and the service was excellent. The building, which dates from the early 17th Century, has been restored very sympathetically, as have the gardens. The staff were all friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was excellent. And the general atmosphere was - much to my taste - very informal. Altogether, a very satisfying visit!

Taken aback I asked her what the problem was, and she said she'd have to walk around my car to carry her laundry to the laundry room. I walked off, and she muttered to my sister that I was 'bloody arrogant'. What a lovely welcome to Boys Hall! The bartender was amazing and made us feel extremely welcome, he's a star, but unfortunately our afternoon was tainted by our trashy 'welcome.'

We turned up here not knowing what to expect, this beautiful mansion house has been completely re-furbished and the owners have made a fantastic job of combining all the best elements of an old house with modern dining. Its wasn't just a meal it was...

Although the food was absolutely delicious the wait for over 1 hour was disappointingly

Fantastic service from arriving. Online booking was simple. Interior is first class also with great attention to detail. Favourite restaurant in Ashford now. The belly of pork was phenomenal and I’d fully recommend the beef dripping potatoes. They’ve got a large wine and spirits selection...

Haven't stayed in the hotel, so can't comment on that other than to say it is a beautiful old English country house. Had lunch in the restaurant, which was very lovely. A large warm room with lovely open views of gardens and courtyards. Great food, super service from Sophie. The only negative was the Ribeye steak. For £34, which did include one side dish. The steak itself was less than amazing. Quite thin and small. Was expecting a little more for the price. The rest of our food was superb. Will return.

2nd visit here, this time Sunday lunch. The main building is a beautiful old property, which we walked through as we left and it would be a perfect place for a chilled stay over , and the little pub has a great "snug" feel about it. The main restaurant is more open with lots of natural light and a spacious feel, this has nothing to do with food of course but a cocktail at "The Shard" is probably a better experience than in your local boozer. The food was excellent and is still the best we've experienced for this kind of restaurant you would like to expect. Not always the case in some expensive restaurants. The staff were very attentive and all of them were able to answer questions about the food. I'm not a food buff and if it tastes good I'm happy with that, but my wife and friends are, and they thought it was excellent. Yes it's pricey but it is actually worth it. We will be back.

Came for Sunday lunch and left very happy. I have food intolerances and was very well catered for, the owner even arranged for an off menu desert be made just for me which has never happened before! This is a beautiful building which has been very sympathetically restored. Delicious food, lovely grounds, extremely comfortable dining area with very attentive owners and waiting staff, what more can you want? Thank you!

We had been to the restaurant a few months before this visit and recommended it to our friends. Happily the food was improved and exceptionally good but the service was so poor we felt we had to apologise to our friends for choosing the restaurant....

We went for lunch on our wedding anniversary. The building is lovely, staff friendly and attentive the food was amazing but had to pay extra for vegetables. But I did think charging £1.50 for tap water a bit extreme when they add on 12.5% service charge.
