An historic inn serving guests for six centuries has received an entirely modern award.
The Bull Hotel in Wrotham appeared on Channel 4's Four in a Bed last week, the show which pits four different hotel owners against one another.
Owner Lygia Fontanella and breakfast chef Mary Murray were invited onto the show, travelling to hotels in Hull, Wigan and Weymouth.
During each visit competitors are asked to pay however much they feel the hotel is worth.
On all three of their visits, the pair paid the full price of each hotel.
The hotel in Bull Lane was the last to host, appearing on our screens last Thursday.
On Friday viewers saw each hotel give feedback on their ratings and discover how much they had been paid.
Filming for the results took place at Bradbourne House in East Malling in May.
The Bull came out on top and was the only hotel where one of their competitors overpaid - paying an extra £5 for their £115 per night room.
Mrs Fontanella, who owns the hotel with her husband Martin Deadman, said: "It was such an awesome experience, very intense and stressful but also rewarding.
"Channel 4’s team was extremely professional and worked hard to make us all feel at ease.
"We learnt a lot about filming a show, such as fitting and remove microphones, not to look at the camera, wait for your turn to talk, not to overtalk, which for us was particularly challenging, and repetition, repetition, repetition.
"This experience has changed the way we'll watch a TV show forever."
