I assumed that this was a pub-hotel - but it isn't. It is more akin to a guest house, which you need to bear in mind if you are likely to be late (as I did). I guess it was once a pub but now just caters for guests - mostly walkers when I was there. Breakfast (cooked to order) was around a table with the other guests which proved to the most enjoyable breakfast I've experienced in any hotel. It's a place for people who value a friendly good value experience and don't mind that it isn't the Hilton. Its next to a road, but the area area Chilham and Godmersham is beautiful and historic.

Had a very warm welcome, great night's sleep and a lovely breakfast in the morning. We are regularly visiting Canterbury as our daughter is at Uni there, and we'll definitely stay again.

We arrived approx 4.30pm to be told our booking had been cancelled. We never received any notification from hotels.com even though Sarah from the old alma had told them the day before. Apart from that Sarah went above and beyond to accommodate ush. She actually gave up her own bedroom for us. I would recommend this hotel but just make sure you arej informed of any changes before you leave homej.

A gem of a property hardly more than 30 mins drive from anywhere in East Kent. Literally a stone's throw from Chilham Station for direct access to Canterbury and the coast in one direction and Maidstone and London in the other. The owners are the friendliest people you are likely to meet and cannot do enough to meet all your requirements.

The Old Alma is the perfect little English B&B, really. It is located so conveniently if you're coming to Chilham by train - it is literally a minute's walk from the station so as soon as out you're there, and it is about 10 minutes away from the village square by foot. My room was very clean and cozy, decorated in a very classic and charming manner. The breakfast was amazing and HUGE! Felt very safe, too. Thank you, Jenny and Paul, for the lovely time. Missing Old Alma already.

The owner Tony, called me before our arrival to check what time we would get there and any dietry requirements. He was friendly and welcoming. The room was at the back of the property so very little noise was heard from the main road. It was a perfect location for our plans that weekend, close to all our destinations, some lovely pubs nearby within walking distance. Lovely cooked breakfast at the time we requested.

Recently refurbished room, bed very comfortable. Bathroom a little dated. Hosts very friendly. No cereals or juice with the breakfast but a good full English breakfast to set you up for a day’s walking!
