Inn on the Lake
Eat and drink outside, surrounded by natural woodlands, calm lakes, and beautiful gardens. Wine and dine from our bar menu on the lakeside patio, captivated by the panoramic lake views. Devour afternoon tea on the fountain decking, mesmorised by the gentle birdsongs. Enjoy refreshing drinks at the jetty, inhaling the botanics of the gardens. Or sit on the grass banks, watching the ducks forage amongst the reeds.
Situated beside the A2, and on the edge of Shorne Country Park, the hotel is an oasis of calm amongst stunning scenery with easy access routes from the A2, M2 and M25.
Where possible, all reservations will be seated outside on the Lakeside Terrace or Fountain Deck but may not be guaranteed. When weather is not permitting, or the outside seating area is full, reservations are moved into the Lakeside and Willow Bars. Please contact the hotel for further details.

We had a family meal on the terrace by the lake. It was very peaceful in the evening sunshine.
Menu was wide & we all enjoyed our food. My 4 year old granddaughter was thrilled with her sausage & chips & her ice cream was an added bonus!
Drinks menu was also wide.
Serving staff were friendly & helpful .
Will definitely visit again soon.

The sandwiches were stale and the sandwich fillings were undesirable
Thanks for your visit Lauren. You booked afternoon tea 1 hour before arrival, ignoring the multiple notes stating that you must call the hotel for same day afternoon tea bookings. Despite this, the team added extra items to your afternoon tea as an apology for not noticing your mistake. Perhaps you could have taken the time to give some constructive feedback at the hotel. Thank you for leaving 5 stars for our service, I'm not sure this averages a 1 star review though?
