Boys Hall in Ashford

Fantastic food, fantastic service, worth the trip. Perfect Sunday. We will return

A little gem on my doorstep.. fabulous food.. I had breakfast there with a friend and then went back in the afternoon and sat in the lounge with my husband enjoying some mulled wine .. literally a few minutes walk from my house..

Excellent Breakfast. Lovely setting and good value.

Me and boyfriend came for dinner last night for his birthday and we said that this was the nicest restaurant we’ve ever been to. The staff, food and service was absolutely amazing, will definitely be coming back and would recommend to absolutely anyone. The manager should be so proud of their staff and the restaurant itself.

Lovely evening to celebrate my husbands birthday, great food with quick and efficient service. Our waitress Daisy was excellent, knowledgeable and attentive, and all the staff couldn’t have been more helpful . Highly recommended, will definitely be returning.

We had an amazing meal at Boys Hall celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary . Fabulous food fabulous service it’s just the most wonderful place. ❤️

Fantastic evening, superb food and wine. Top professional service!

We stayed one night for dinner b&b. Stunning building and gardens (in summer). Every member of staff welcoming and engaging as well as showing a genuine passion for the place. Special thanks to Vivienne and Claire - great ambassadors for the business. We will go back.

Three of us had a superb lunch along with some excellent wine. Service and the attention we had was absolutely great. Back again soon, ' definitely ' Chris

Fantastic evening, everything was excellent, the shining stars were the staff who were absolutely exceptional. Thank you

Thank you to absolutely everyone at Boys Hall for a wonderful festive lunch. Outstanding service, cuisine, ambience and Christmas decor all contributed to a very special get-together for us all

3rd visit. Great food and service. Looking forward to plan our next visit. A stand out high class establishment. Unequalled in the Ashford area.

My wife and I wished to have 24 hours off from our home some 40 miles away from Boys Hall. This was a highly successful stay and one which we will repeat. The hotel is a delight. Our room was large and lovely. The public areas were lovely, too, with the interior decorations throughout worthy of mentioning. The Lomas's chose their interior designer from nearby Tenterden and chose well. Service was good and the meals were lovely. Personally, I was disappointed that the dinner menu was the same as the luncheon menu and for us would restrict our stay to two nights at most. The hotel is close to many interesting areas of West Kent, all of which I know well having been brought up at Winchelsea.

What a delightful place to stay. Very calming and restful. Arrived in time for tea and cakes in the cosy lounge followed by drinks in the bar and dinner in the beautiful barn style restaurant. Staff are so polite and helpful. And then a most comfortable night in the fabulous bedroom. It really is a lovely hideaway to come and de-stress.

Haven’t been for a while but was definitely worth trying out again. Menu a lot more to my taste & service was outstanding! Will come again soon for sure

DO NOT buy their vouchers. This is a scam. They do not send you the voucher code. When I questioned it the voucher was supposedly out of date. How am I to know there is a year expiry when the voucher wasn’t sent in the first place.

I had a lovely night's stay in the Margaret room with my wife on a gloomy December day. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and just the sort of cosy place you want to be on a cold, wet day. The room itself was full of character, complete with sloping floor, befitting a building of this age. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, with a particular mention to Tom who provided a very charming dinner service. Would love to visit again.

We had a lovely lunch from a wide range of options and were served by a very professional waitress.

Beautiful hotel, very tastefully restored to a high level, we have stayed a number of times, each time in an individually different room, (This time Romney) high end quality throughout, both with fixtures, fittings and the service from all staff. We have also eaten in the restaurant a number of times, never disapoints. Thank you, we will be back.

Excellent members of staff - all departments. Good quality food in the restaurant. Very good ambience.

Thank you Boys Hall we had a wonderful stay last weekend to celebrate my Husbands 60th Birthday. We stayed in Bishops Quarter ..what an amazing room. The little extra touches were so lovely and thoughtful. We had complimentary coffee and cake after we had checked in and sat in front of the wood burning fire to enjoy it. The staff and service were faultless. We also enjoyed dinner in the evening in the restaurant and the food was delicious We shared a Porterhouse steak and again the service was amazing. Breakfast was also great we enjoyed the items on the breakfast table and then ordered off the hot menu. We live in Kent so will most certainly will be returning for a Sunday lunch sometime.

Stayed in the Bishops Quarters, a beautiful room with lots of character. Very comfy bed and amazing bathing room. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, always going out of their way. 5 stars, look forward to coming here again. A real countryside gem.

Beautiful place for lunch/dinner. We had the Sunday Roast. I asked for well done Beef but of course it came out very rare and not edible, some would say perfectly cooked but not for me, I was offered another plate but they also took my Roast Potatoes too and only 1 was left in the shared bowl! I didn't like to ask again. My Husband had the pork but it is a Rolled Belly! not the best cut for a roast, was very fatty. Saying that the food was tasty, and apparently the Sticky Toffee pudding was great. The thing that bugs me is that they automatically add a service charge which pushes the bill up considerably - this should be discretionary and left to the customer to leave a gratuity.

Had a great stay. Staff were so welcoming friendly and attentive. Loved our room with lovely comfy bed and beautifully decorated and furnished. The whole hotel has been so thoughtfully restored and added too. We want to come back in summer to see the garden in full bloom.

Had dinner at this Beautiful location , food was extremely good, service even better. Not over priced, quality food. Highly recommended.

Hosted 16 of our close family to my wife’s 20 year cancerversary celebration yesterday in the pte dining room It was a very special day and all the team at Boys Hall looked after us in a fantastic way . Nothing was too much trouble and all the food and drink was delicious and served in a perfect and timely manner - Special thanks to Cameron who was an excellent host and met the demands of all four generations in a very patient, humourous and professional manner Thank you for a wonderful day

Fabulous sunday roast and visiting at Christmas is so magical … it was absolutely stunning …🎄✨🥂

Nice atmosphere and ambiance. Not too big, not too noisy. Lovely fireplaces and the Christmas decorations were excellent. Coffee is great. Food was lovely- we had the shared porterhouse and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Sides were nice, starters were very tasty. Service was mostly great and very friendly , except that one server dropped bernaise sauce on my partners lap and wasn’t that fussed about the fact he had stained his trousers. Nothing more was said or done and it did take the shine off of a perfectly nice lunch.

Young girl server got steaks mixed up then the rare one wasn’t rare anymore….think she was novice and didn’t really know when we asked if this is the well done steak? Better ask than just bluff…..lots and lots of potatoes!! Maybe staff should suggest ratios on sides. Decor and ambiance front of house exceptional. Food was lovely…sticky toffee pud was barely warm is that normal for you? We expected to be from the oven? But look overall we had a super night and will return. X

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner in the most stunning of settings with very attentive & friendly staff!! Couldn’t recommend it more !

We had a fantastic night's stay at Boys Hall! We booked the Sovereign room which was beautifully decorated and clean to a really high standard, as was the entire establishment throughout. Visiting in early December, the place had a great cosy, festive atmosphere perfect for a quick break in the run up to Christmas. We had both dinner and breakfast with our stay and the food, prepared by Head Chef Alfie and his team, was superb; particular shout out for the mussels starter and halibut main. The front of house staff were also fantastic, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning very soon!

We had a fantastic lunch at Boys Hall. Such a beautiful setting and atmosphere. The choice of foods is plenty and delicious. The Staff were friendly , helpful and made you feel very welcome for the start. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

The staff were formal enough so that you knew you were eating somewhere special, but informal enough to enable you to relax. The food was excellent

We came for breakfast on this occasion, as usual the food and service was great. Atmosphere is brilliant. Looking forward to coming again!

Lovely stopover before heading onto France.

A real asset for the whole of Kent. From the moment you walk in you know you are somewhere special that delights the senses through Boys Hall magical visual and physical ambience. The food hits the mark every time and the whole team make running the place look effortless. There is nowhere like it for miles. If you haven’t been then book in today, if you have been then a winter visit is magical.

My wife and I had a lovely couple of nights arriving on Sunday to enjoy the superb roast dinner. Particularly liked the fact that the Hotel has its own “pub”

Excellent service, great food +++++++

Service, staff and atmosphere is top notch.

Excellent experience, great food and atmosphere A wipe between courses would be appreciated

This is a great place to stay. The service we received was awesome and the food and drinks off the charts. Super!!

As usual we had a making visit to Boys Hall. Simply delicious lunch in The Snug and so well looked after by Lily. Very much enjoyed our stay in our beautiful room. My only very very small thing is the gluten free bread you have is awful. Being coeliac I know there is not a lot out there. There is a very good company called knife and fork bakery who do very good bread which can be sliced and kept in freezer. If not, quite good bread by a maker called Schar in all supermarkets and so good seeded bread. Apart from that we cannot fault your beautiful hotel.

Boys Hall is so special. Not just the building which is fantastic but the staff are really great. The staff mostly young but they really know how to keep the customer happy. One in particular young lady of 16 was so confident and happy. She really seemed to enjoy her job and was going to go into hospitality. I think she will go far. She had the confidence to engage with us and enjoy the patter which she gave back which is so much appreciated. The room Natchbull was amazing and the bed so comfortable. It was great not to have a TV so it was quiet and we read our books and papers. We were lucky that the Christmas decorations were up and the atmosphere in the lounges with the logs burning was so peaceful. I am dairy intolerant and once they knew this they ensured I had a dairy free cake with the complimentary tea/coffee. It was the most enjoyable stay, it was a shame that we had to leave!

Very disappointed with our room. It was freezing! For my husband to say that it means it really was cold. The radiator didn’t work, we mentioned it three times to reception. She kindly turned the thermostat up but nothing happened to the radiator. I went down for the 3rd time and asked for an electric heater and the receptionist said she would check the radiator- this didn’t happen. In the bar when we asked for a bottle of English sparkling wine they tried to give us a bottle that hadn’t been chilled. Being our anniversary I was really upset with the room situation as I was sat on the bed in my coat and blanket- not the most romantic start!

Food incredible and service brilliant as always.

Lovely food, excellent location….dis mention it was a birthday surprise and nothing was mentioned by the staff…shame….apart from that really nice…

We absolutely loved our dinner at Boys Hall last night. The whole venue is beautifully done with cosy and festive touches. We wish we'd arrived earlier to enjoy a drink in one of the lounges! The French white wine was delicious and we loved the food too however our only criticism would be that given the price of the main meals, we thought they should come with sides instead of having to pay extra. Either that or provide complimentary bread and oils. That said, we will definitely be back – it's a hidden gem!

The staff were wonderful as was the food. Lucky to have Boys Hall on my doorstep.

Treated my friend to a breakfast here was lovely , food is always delicious service was great and such a pretty place love it here

Fantastic meal all round with truly great service (wish I knew our servers name - she is a true asset). Lovely setting and rooms too. Would love to have this closer to home!

We had such a wonderful, relaxing time at BH for our wedding anniversary in November. The staff are so friendly, and helpful (I’d left my make up bag in the room, and they kindly posted it back to me) The food was delicious, we couldn’t fault the service, and would definitely book a return visit.

Wonderful meal for my daughter’s 20th - excellent food in a first class setting with outstanding service Wonderful!

Food was absolutely delicious, staff were friendly and willing to help. Would most definitely return!

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch at Boys Hall, the staff were lovely and the surroundings delightful.

Thank you for making my mom’s 80th birthday so special! The food, service and you’re wonderful ambiance always makes us return again and again!

Absolutely lovely, the staff lovely, rooms amazing, photos advertising don’t show just how amazing they are. Food, delicious. Will definitely be returning in the summer. What a glorious find, Thanks to all the staff for making my husband’s birthday weekend a real treat.

We had a delicious meal once again in such sumptuous surroundings. I just love this place from the decor, the friendly helpful staff, the ambience & the food (thank you chefs ). No one will ever be disappointed here. In the summer the terraces & gardens are beautiful & in the winter the cozy lounges with roaring fires must not be missed. Don’t just go and have a meal enjoy the whole experience. I love my after dinner drink in the cozy sofas in front of the fire - what an exquisite old building. Thank you everyone you always make it special.

Had an amazing meal tonight with great quality food and excellent service in a beautiful environment.

Great atmosphere, professional and friendly service and a high standard of food that was superbly presented. This place never fails to satisfy in droves.

My friend and I met to celebrate our birthdays and catch up over lunch. We both love everything about your hotel, bars and restaurant; from the ambience, to the food and the wonderful service from your delightful engaging staff.

Another amazing dinner at Boys Hall. The staff are so attentive and lovely. We had drinks first in the lounge which is beautiful before moving to the dining room which was buzzing with people. The food was outstanding - I’d recommend the crispy potatoes and porterhouse! We will definitely be back.

The venue, buildings, facilities and staff were all very lovely. The food itself was also very nice and well presented. However, the service was very slow and all the main courses were cold when they reached the table, which was rather disappointing at this price point.

We stayed for one night on the 30th October. The grounds and building are stunning and looked better than the pictures. We were taken to our room, which again, upon entering, stunning. There was a nice touch with a hand written welcome card with our names on it. We ventured downstairs, where were told we had complimentary coffee or tea with cake. A nice touch, if the cakes weren't stale. Which they both were. From memory one was a coffee cake and can't remember the other. Disappointing. We dined in the restaurant, which was magnificent, in terms of food, décor and service. HIGHLY RECOMMEND The disappointment continued when in the middle of the night, the two single beds, WHICH I WAS UNAWARE EXISTED, UNTIL I STARTED TO FALL IN THE CRACK. I did not expect this when booking a queen bed!!! More disappointed continued in the morning, when I tried to run a bath in the magnificently placed bath tub, on a stage with a gorgeous view of the gardens. The challenge was, there was no hot water running to the bath!!! Upon check out I mentioned the bath not having hot water, and was told it was not brought to our attention. A very bad reason in my opinion. There are nine rooms in the building, it couldn't take that long to have a little checklist before guests arrive and do a quick round and check 5,6 or 7 things that are a must for a great stay.

Lovely breakfast, excellent service. Thank you for accommodating our large table at late notice!

A lovely experience. Barn has been done beautifully. Food was absolutely amazing a real treat! Service excellent very friendly & knowledgeable staff

The food is just fantastic & I can’t wait for my next visit.

Our visit to Boys Hall was such a lovely surprise. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, beautiful surroundings, delicious food and a very relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely be returning, thank you.

We team and I from Elizabeth Rose Fashions Ltd, Tenterden were celebrating a member of staffs 25 year service with us. The venue was perfect, in the private room, the service was excellent and the food, delicious. Perfect 10 out of 10. With thanks.

We went for breakfast it was nice the food was really good quality and the service was good but the sourdough bread was as hard as steel maybe offer an alternative bread 🍞

A group of old school friends and I met here for a meal as we are all now of a certain age. The venue itself can best be described as a smallish country house that is now a restaurant and hotel. I didn't book a room at Boys Hall as they were limited and very expensive (there is a much cheaper Premier Inn a 20 minute walk away). We initially met in the bar area for pre-dinner drinks. The service was very good with prompt table service. There are extensive wine and cocktail menus, so something for most people As we were a group of around 12 People we were seated in a private dining area, with an a la carte menu. The choice was good and the food was well presented and very tasty. The service was excellent with friendly and efficient staff. The cost for the 3 courses worked out around £60 per person, which was good considering the venue. All in all a venue with great ambience and service. I visit Ashford infrequently but would definitely go back here again when in the area

Took my sister in law out for birthday lunch treat. Exquisite food and excellent service. Interiors are beautiful and the whole experience was sublime!

Had a lovely meal at Boys Hall - my favourite place to eat in Ashford

Had the most wonderful stay here this weekend. Have been following on Instagram for ages and booked in February for my partners 50th birthday this weekend. The staff were amazing and the food was absolutely incredible. Every space in the hotel is beautifully decorated and from the moment you arrive you feel at home. Felt sad leaving this morning and can’t wait to return. Thank you for such a memorable weekend

Amazing place, service and importantly food.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to leave feedback. My husband & I brought our family of 8 for lunch at The Boy’s Hall yesterday, we had booked the snug for private dinning which was lovely. Overall the experience was pleasant but some of the food didn’t come up to expectations! Whether it was because we were a large party I don’t know? The onion soup wasn’t as delicious as previous visits, the halibut was a bit dry and most disappointing was the sticky toffee pudding that was serve cold!!!!!! Also myself I didn’t like any of the choices for pudding so requested ice cream…well I would have thought that The Boys hall would have dished up a larger potion than 2 teaspoons!!!!! Oh by the way the staff were very accommodating & friendly….credit to your hotel. Thank you .

The food was delicious, as always, the service was so warm and friendly and the atmosphere perfect for a birthday night out. Really enjoyed it - thank you Boys Hall!

The food and ambience was excellent but mistakes were made with our orders which delayed service for a member of our party

Lovely restaurant and lovely staff. Good food and a nice atmosphere. Will book again. Was quite surprised when I visited Boys HAll Restaurant. Was not expecting such a lovely experience. Would recommend the Sunday Roast.

Excellent Service , Food and Rooms .

Staff were really friendly and the food was 10/10 will definitely be coming back!

One of my absolute favourite hotels, so cosy and welcoming and delicious food! Best sticky toffee pudding!

This was our first visit, the venue is beautiful and staff are friendly, informative and attentive. The food whilst beautifully displayed did not quite live upto the same standard. The starters were delicious, but my chicken on the main was very dry and the jus and accompaniments were a clash of flavours which didn’t quite work. The roast potatoes whilst crispy were also dry.

Clearly a beautiful hotel with a large, restaurant ,characterful ,but noisy. Last Monday, service was slow in the lounge and then in the restaurant. In my opinion. The chicken confit starter was very nice and a good size portion. Our pork chops were not tender and I wish we could have chosen a lamb option.I think that potatoes should be included with a main meal, the extra options we chose, we did not like. I think the food was not special enough for the high prices.. it’s a great addition to Ashford, clearly popular, I’ve been a couple of times and shall probably return. The sauces are particularly tasty.

Wonderful service and amazing food. Lovely welcoming atmosphere on arrival and during lunch. Good choice of courses and prices. Well worth a visit.

I took my daughter for lunch for her birthday. My thoughts of the setting were lovely , very clean , very stylish, spacious and contemporary with a dash of quintessential English country garden. Very nice experience, the staff were very attentive . Would love to return and sample the Sunday roast in the future .

The food was amazing as always, the staff very polite and helpful, the location picturesque with easy access from town centre and ample parking

We had a lovely time here celebrating my 40th birthday party. We were a party of 18, the staff were extremely well organised and nothing was a problem, including catering for a number of different food allergies. Thanks again, we had a fab time.

This was my husband’s 60th birthday. The private “snug” we had was perfect! The staff were very attentive, polite and helpful but not intrusive and the food was absolutely delicious! We couldn’t fault it. This is a lovely place for a special occasion.

Hi, We had a lovely time but everyone’s roast dinner was served really cold, we had to use the gravy to try heat it up. The pear dessert was very bland. Bakewell tart was lovely but would have been much nicer with custard. The stetting is so lovely, so we did have a lovely time :0)

Excellent service, food and wine. Daisy was superb looking after us in the dining room. She was helpful but not intrusive, confident, knowledgeable and polite. No comment on the rooms as we were only there for dinner, but what we saw of Boys Hall was stunning.

A beautiful venue with outstanding service. The reduction in stars is because… the noise carries in this room and we could hardly communicate with each other because of conversations on other tables; the waiting staff kept bumping into my chair as they went past, so more room needed between tables; the food was mixed (lovely snack flatbread, our steak was tough, carrots over cooked). Very small ice cream portions. We thought over priced overall, and an additional service charge added. Doubt we would go again.

Good service and atmosphere, and lovely food as always

A truly wonderful dining experience. Delicious food and drink, all served by attentive staff. Dining wasn’t rushed and you’re encouraged to enjoy the lounge areas before and after food.

I went for a friends birthday breakfast here and found it to be a real hidden treasure in our area. I had been to a private event years ago and was shown round by the previous owners, some real hidden gems in the building (a hidden priest room, a spooky cellar), but just breakfast this time. The food was absolutely delicious,top notch with great service and tea or coffee on tap. The service was great and the environment was a good place to relax, I even got some reading time before my friend joined. Highly recommended.

Truly An absolute gem of a place. Wonderful food, service, rooms (public as well as accommodation. I cannot fault anything! The attention to detail is stunning.

We had a business lunch here, and despite coming here since they opened over a year ago, this was one of the nicest meals and best service we've had. We opted for the grill specials, some of us had fish and others Rib Eye, and the food was delicious.

What a beautiful meal! Local food prepared and presented excellently. Venue is fantastic! Would highly recommend

Took the opportunity to stay here while working in London. Very quick and easy route to London and nice to get out of the city in the evenings. Great food, wonderful rooms and a really pleasant stay.

Really good service and friendly and helpful staff couldn’t ask for a better service.

Perhaps it was because it was a Monday lunch time, this was not the high quality gastronomic experience to which this restaurant evidently aspires and which was expected. The set menu gave a choice between ‘Celeriac Steak’ with Squash mash (truly horrid) and pork chop which was tough and undercooked. Side dish extras were good. Two puddings to choose from, both of which were bland. Paper napkins! PLEASE! A complete ‘NO! NO’ in a restaurant with pretensions. In addition, no serving spoons were provided for side dish extras. It all appeared a cynical exercise to cut costs at every level. Good service, an excellent wine list and a beautiful setting are positives.
