Restaurant good
Restaurant very good - food is excellent. However if staying be aware that some of the rooms are tiny, and as such I think overpriced.

Good place to stay
Pub is a lovely place to stay, the room i had was small but well equipped and perfectly good for the duration of my stay. The shower was cracking! .. The a la carte menu was not my thing but the food did look really nice. I would stay again if working that way again.

Comfortable bed and pillows - lovely building, friendly staff. Room and bathroom TINY! And steep twisty stairs to get to it - our room was certainly not suitable for everyone so perhaps put a “steep, tight, twisty stairs access” advice to some rooms ?

The accommodation at The Dog is just average. Rooms need refreshing and updating with everything looking faded and dated. For £200/night, we expected something special and all we got was dull and ordinary. However, the food - both dinner (extra) and breakfast (included) was outstanding, with good service. Next time I’d stay somewhere else and just eat at The Dog.

Homely place with great service and excellent food
Late stay based on a personal recommendation. I am annoyingly picky by nature but was pleasantly surprised. The room is well formed and comfortable. The restaurant is very inviting and the food...outstanding. It is clear the venue values its patrons and a lot of thought goes into ensuring quality. The staff make the experience. Would 100% recommend.

Nice night away
Overall we had a pleasant stay. The breakfast was nice and we enjoyed a nice afternoon in the bar playing boardgames. We were disappointed by our dinner, which was the main attraction for us. The portions were very small and both dishes (pork and brill) were far too salty - my partner couldn't actually eat his as it was so salty. We stayed in room one which was very small and directly above the bar / kitchen so very noisy until gone midnight, and again from 7ish. Wingham is a pleasant village and we enjoyed walking around. The staff were friendly and helpful.

A stand out B&B in the heart of Kent
Lovely cosy Inn with excellent food menu and cooked to a high standard. Quiet room even though it sits on a main road, the cosy room we were given had al other amenities, including a hair dryer and tea/coffee making facilities. The only point I would make is that the stairs to the rooms are quite steep so you would have to enquire directly if they have rooms for elderly or disabled as it is a 15th century property.

Smart
Food very good and clearly better than the local pub grub, but you do pay a little extra. The discretionary payment for service appears automatically? Rooms small and try to avoid the noisy kitchen extraction fan side of the building. Smart pub and restaurant. Plus the very very small give away starter is bit of a waste of time.

Lovely one night stay for my husband's 70th
The hotel is really lovely and everything is done to the guest's satisfaction. Comfortables, nicely furnished, dog friendly, great food, especially the breakfast. Wingham is a sweet, historic village and there are dog walks nearby. Staff are very pleasant and friendly.

Anniversary stay.
My wife and I stayed there for our wedding anniversary. The food, service etc was excellent. We had room 5 which, as my wife pointed out, was the smallest room! It was clean, adequate but shall I say cosy. There is not much to see in Wingham itself, but you are very close to Canterbury & Sandwich.

Excellent stay overall. Very comfortable bed and super breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff .... Only one concern .....A bit of a problem with access to the room as it was up very narrow, steep stairs with limited hand rail support . My husband had difficulty with this as he has replacement hips & knees & suffers with arthritis.. It would be helpful to know, in advance, of this situation, particularly for people with walking difficulties.

Divine stay at The Dog.
I cannot fault my stay at The Dog. Staff friendly, room perfectly clean and comfortable. The highlight of my stay was the food served in the restaurant. This was first class. The breakfast was also tasty and fresh. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay on business or a weekend break, this is the place to stay. Quaint old pub with a modern twist.

Good but some issues.
Food is very good although not a huge menu, cost £££. Service was good. Room 5 is supposed to be a double room, it has a double bed in it but is a very small room, you would struggle to get two people in it, you have to side step around it, so in my opinion not suitable for two people Bed was comfortable. Tv is practically on the ceiling. Ensuite is small but functional. Breakfast not available until 8am, cooked breakfast is extra cost.

Decent hotel. Facilities in room a bit lacking. Breakfast was nicely cooked but a bit lacking in variety. Bad and restaurant area nice. Restaurant clearly popular.

The Dog was fabulous, the staff were all very friendly. Needed a drink as soon as I arrived so had a lovely glass of bubbles sitting by the fire, very civilized! The bedroom had such a sumptuous bed and very tasteful decor as had the whole pub. I would definitely return as long as the price stayed similar. Didn't eat there as they had a tasting menu but the local Indian was recommended which was fab.

Comfortable stay
We booked a last minute stay which overall was very comfortable. The check in was quite awkward as you need to walk through the pub area & as we entered it felt like the pub was full of 'locals' all watching us which was uncomfortable. The set up wasn't explained to us so we didn't know if we could come & go from our room & didn't know what time breakfast was served until or what the breakfast arrangements were. The room (5) was very small but very comfortable & beautifully decorated. It suited our needs. Breakfast was okay. We stayed on a Sunday night & the pub closes at 9. It was noisy until the pub closed & the clean up after. I imagine if we stayed on another night that the pub opened until later then we would've been disturbed as it was quite noisy. It was also quite noisy from 8am onwards. Very comfortable bed & very clean.
