With newly refurbished bedrooms, bar and reception area the Dog and Bear is well worth a visit.
You'll find the Dog & Bear, a traditional coaching inn built in 1602, facing Lenham's picturesque village square. The pub features an oak-beamed bar with blazing log fire, excellent pub food, friendly service and comfortable accommodation comprising 24 en-suite rooms - all with TV, telephone and tea/coffee making facilities - and one with a four-poster. Queen Anne stayed here in 1704 and her royal coat of arms is proudly displayed above the front door.
Lenham is an ideal location for touring the Kent countryside - close to the county town of Maidstone with its historical past and even closer to Leeds Castle, "the loveliest castle in the world". Coaches are welcome for either a short break with tea and scones or overnight. Within easy reach of London and Canterbury, we are just a few minutes drive from Junction 8 on the M20 or there are hourly trains from London Victoria. Also we are just a short journey from the Channel Tunnel. The Eurostar train can be boarded at Ashford International, which is a 10 minute journey from Lenham station. Trains also run regularly to many of our coastal towns if you prefer a day by the sea.
