Much is made of Dickens' connection with the inn but it's not been dusted or the carpet shampooed since his visit. We were seduced by the half-timber exterior but inside is all very dreary and tired, an upgrade long overdue. Strong bitter coffee undrinkable. Lesson learned.

The inn is very historic and thought has been put into the decor of the rooms. Staff were friendly and bed was comfy. Food was good.

Leather Bottle Brands Hatch stay.
Our stay at the Leather Bottle was excellent. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. The staff were very friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The garden area was good, where we were able to eat evening meals in the sunshine and pleasant surroundings. The menu suited our taste, perfectly; breakfast was also good and freshly cooked to order. We had a nice, relaxing time at this hotel, with reminders and references to, Dickens' enjoyment of his stays there.

Pleasant stay.
A pleasant nights stay. Large room and ensuite. Noise from the bar and pub garden but to be expected as rooms are over the pub , but it was quiet after 11pm. Breakfast choice, cereal and full English which was good.

Just OK for a night's stay
Very interesting hotel with lots of character. Friendly staff. Poor ensuite, too small, no water power on the shower and basin not suitable for a wet shave. Comfortable bed but squeaky floors. Food poor quality

Positive notes: The building is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. It also has links to Charles Dickens and actually features in one of his novels. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I ordered a black forest cheesecake dessert in the restaurant.  Honestly,  one of the nicest things I've ever tried. Amazing. Negative notes: Purely related to accommodation. I stayed in room 4 so can't comment on the other rooms. Bed was extremely uncomfortable.  The mattress was like the cheapest option available from a discount bed store. Pillows hard and uncomfortable. The room was very cold so I asked if there was a problem with the heating. Someone came up and told me that it was set to come on at 15 degrees. I said that I normally set mine to 19 or 20. Got an "oh,well". Heating was not put on. Suggestion: set master temperature at 21 degrees and let the customer decide what temperature they would like their own room to be.... TV was a 15" monitor on the wall at an odd angle. Cables feeding it through cheap plastic conduit unsecured to wall and at an angle. Just shoddy. Paint damage everywhere. Creaking and uneven floorboards. Worn, dirty carpets. Poor tiling. Poor plumbing and fixtures. Just overall shoddy and unkempt. I think this place really has great potential but it's certainly not there yet. Maybe the owner should spend a night in each room and identify the problems from a guests perspective. A small bit of work will make a massive difference and this place could, and

Very historic building. Lots of photos and things to look at and original features. Overlooking the graveyard and church was less scarey than the sharpness and attitude of the bar person who checked us in. The only saving grace was the pretty young blonde girl who was training. She answered all our questions with a lovely smile.. hope she continues like that. The beds were also uncomfortable. We had 2 rooms one bed sloped towards the floor. And the other had wooden boards and cardboard under the mattress.. the Inn is historic the beds don't have to be.

Lovely 17th century hotel/pub
Great 17th century hotel/pub full of history and character. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. We had an on suite and this was a good size. We only had breakfast but it was lovely and the service was great. We only stayed here to break a journey up but we’re really glad we did. Would definitely stay here again.

Well worth a Visit
The Leather Bottle was well worth our stay. It’s historic links to Charles Dickens makes it a must visit for those interested in the author. Full of photos. drawings and personal items belonging to the author. Apart from that this 500 year old building is well worth a visit in it’s entirety. Cosy clean and comfortable breakfast included,with a excellent bar although no Campari when we stayed there. A good menu with plenty of choice. Overall well with a visit.
