Refurbished in 2024 to a high standard and with beautifully appointed en-suite rooms this establishment now adopts the status of a hotel. The inn itself is named after the Earl of Leicester, a title historically linked to the Sidney family of Penshurst Place. The building features are of a traditional English country style, with characteristic elements such as exposed wooden beams, fireplaces, and cosy, inviting interiors. Situated by the church, a stone's throw from Penshurst Place at the end of the five mile cycle path from Tonbridge. Private events can be catered for in the rear Leicester Square Panelled Dining Room. A rarely-seen shuffle board is available to entertain.
