Dining

The Pilot Inn is renowned for its Famous Fish, traditionally battered and served with chips or alternatives, such as garden peas or salad. Fish can be steamed or pan-fried upon request, catering to various preferences. The culinary offerings emphasize fresh, local ingredients, appealing to seafood enthusiasts and casual diners alike.

Local History

Located in the isolated region of Dungeness, the hotel embodies the unique cultural and historical aspects of the Romney Marsh area. The area is known for its folklore, featuring stories of smugglers, fishermen, and local legends that enhance the visitor experience. Guests can explore nearby Hagstones, also known as Holy Stones, which hold significant local lore.

Unique Features

The Pilot Inn showcases a massive wrought iron anchor, weighing approximately 2 tonnes, as a striking focal point of its exterior. Additionally, the hotel is not only a retreat but also a literary hub, where guests can find works by Niko Miaoulis and Andy Holyer detailing the history of the region. This blend of hospitality and culture offers a distinct experience compared to standard accommodations.

Pet-Friendly Policies

The Pilot Inn allows well-behaved dogs in the designated 'Captain's Cabin' area, accommodating pet owners during their stay. This policy facilitates an enjoyable experience for guests traveling with their furry companions. Proper supervision of pets is encouraged to ensure a pleasant atmosphere for all visitors.

“In my opinion, this is a delightful boutique option, especially well-suited for those attending events at the O2 Arena, thanks to its prime location. The individually designed rooms and open-plan kitchen featuring seasonal dishes contribute to a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The garden adds to the experience.”
