A lovely hotel
Great stay, lovely staff, and a building full of character! Breakfast and the pool were truly awesome, too. The only downside was some furniture/equipment needing a bit of love (door knob broken on the bedside table, screw on the window loose, hook behind the door in the changing rooms of the pool broken etc), plus a bit of noise from the road but really nothing major at all, it was a lovely stay overall
Our stay was great.
Very comfortable bed, clean bathroom, excellent breakfast. The hotel is close to the city centre and we could do everything on foot.
The staff were very friendly and polite.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was exactly what I needed. The bedroom was very pleasant and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend a stay.
Staff very helpful and friendly at this clean and comfortable hotel with car park, good breakfast, lovely garden and only a short walk away from Canterbury Cathedral and shopping centre.
An exceptional, family run hotel perfectly situated for exploring Canterbury on foot. A very warm welcome with tips and advice on the City. Superb breakfast included. On site parking. I couldn’t fault anything.
