Found this when we were looking for an overnight stop near Faversham. Very clean and comfortable.and a nice welcome. The hostel rooms were very warm, with nice bathrooms and comfy beds, and the lounge area was well furnished, with a terrific wood burning stove, which made for a very cosy evening.
As we'd been walking for a couple of days, choose to cook in the well appointed kitchen - but the pub down the road looked very good.
Breakfast is a do it yourself continental, and there is an abundance of tourist info, maps etc in the lounge area. (Bike hire mentioned at very reasonable rates as well)
Will certainly use again

It doesn't matter if you are on a holiday, shortbreak or need a temporary place to stay because of work nearby, Palace farm offers all you need and more. Graham and Liz do their utmost to make your stay as pleasant as possible. With 2 children, us as parents and two grandparents, we stayed two nights at wintertime. The rooms were clean, the beds were nice and in the evening a cosy fire was lit for us in the livingroom. Graham did everything to set us up with a good meal and made several phonecalls around to make that happen. A great meal was served to us at "The Carpenters Arms" in Eastling, a nearby village, a pub and restaurant with a great atmosphere. All at reasonable prices. For us it's a perfect place to remember and definately first choice, should we decide to explore the Kent downs at summertime. Go find out yourselves!

I organised a father and son cycling half term break over a long weekend luckily the weather was great and Palace Farm Hostel was a great base from which to cycle from as there are some lovely rides straight from the hostel.

We stayed just one night at the end of a trip abroad and were very glad we did. It is the nicest hostel I have stayed at - extremely clean and the owners very friendly and helpful. We turned up early but were made very welcome. The rooms are lovely the beds comfortable and you even got a super continental breakfast with tea/coffee. Would definitely recommend. We cooked in the well equipped kitchen but there is a nearby pub (1/2 mile) that does reasonably priced food which we will try next time we are in the area.
