About The Woolpack Hotel
Known locally as the Woolly, this fifteenth-century inn stands squarely in the middle of Tenterden's high street and has the beams and inglenook fireplaces to prove its age. Behind the historic frontage sit seven individually styled bedrooms, each fitted with down bedding, good linen and the small comforts expected of a boutique stay rather than a basic pub room.
The kitchen keeps its menu seasonal and produce-led, with Sunday roasts a particular draw for locals as well as guests, and the bar pours a solid range of Kentish ales alongside the wider drinks list. A converted barn on site hosts weddings and private events, giving the inn a second life beyond its rooms and restaurant.
Dog-friendly rooms and a genuinely central location make the Woolpack a practical choice for anyone wanting to explore Tenterden on foot, with the railway station, museum and shops all within a few minutes' walk.

What guests say
Me and my husband spent one night here as part of a countryside trip. This is a fascinating old building. Our room was very large and the contemporary en suite very cleverly constructed. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. We ate lunch here too - great food.

Stayed here for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. Service was impeccable and friendly, room was lovely with a view of the church. Had food in the evening which was great. Absolutely top class, and right in the heart of the village.
