A perfect location near the old town and Cathedral. Very comfortable bed and duvet. Did not read the fine print to realize the shared bathroom was on the 2nd floor but was not a bother. Would definitely go back again,

The hotel is well situated, and has a private parking for 4 cars. We could visit Canterbury by foot without any problem. The place is a bit old, but quite clean.

Good location and a nice property. Three weird things: one the toilet was out of the room and upstairs, two the shower was directly in the room which is very weird and uncomfortable and three there were no staff on site at all which was odd. Otherwise good facilities and a comfy bed.

Lovely place with kind helpful staff who looked out for our family. Breakfast wasn't available, but the manager gave us some good tips, and there's plenty of great food options throughout the city. My stepson loved it, especially the big bathroom linked to the family room we used. And our dog felt at home, so was very relaxed. Its a perfect location for access to the centre, but keep in mind if you're a light-sleeper during a weekend as it can get noisy outside late at night.

Room was like described as mentioned, bed and shower was very clean however the mugs and kettle was slight dirty, i could not hear other guests in my room however the floor was extremely creaky so i could hear the guests upstairs walking around. Other than that the staff where friendly and happy to explain their procedures and as a very last minute booking i felt i had received value for money!

We had a fabulous stay at the Coach House in their comfortably large family room, where our dog was also welcome. We were hugely grateful they were able to accommodate us after the dreadful VRBO let us down badly (the place we'd booked turned out to be occupied by another guest and the landlord claimed it had been taken off VRBO several months earlier). When we found out at 7.30pm that there was no actual booking available and had to find an alternative ourselves, the Coach House could not have been more friendly or helpful. We were very appreciative and would stay there again if visiting Canterbury. We will certainly NEVER book anything again with the truly terrible VRBO who couldn't have been more useless. The only slight niggle was that the bathroom wasn't en suite, but across the landing outside the bedroom door. But it didn't appear to be used by anyone else, so not a major problem.

There are much better options elsewhere

The mattress was extremely uncomfortable resulting in a mostly sleepless night. The description claims that room 1 has a private bathroom. In reality, there is an en-suite shower and basin but the toilet is in a completely separate location, accessed by leaving the room and descending a few steps down the main staircase past another guest bedroom, where there is a door marked "Private" giving access to a tiny toilet room. The property is very close to a noisy road. Take ear plugs. There was nobody present to attend reception on check-in or departure. It was all done by text/phone. I'd booked 2 nights but checked out after 1 night and paid to stay somewhere else. The Coach House still charged me 80% of the total 2 night bill, despite sharing my reasons for the early check-out.

Fantastic place in a fanstastic location

Would definitely return for another stay! The room itself had plenty of space for two, had what we needed and was comfortable to live in. For us, it was perfect for a short stay (we stayed two nights). The location was absolutely perfect too: only a few minutes walk to where we needed to be - city centre, cathedral, train station, etc. The only pieces of feedback I had was that i felt that the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, and that the toilet was shared. For the toilet though, it was kept very clean throughout our stay. Even with these, it hasn't changed our 5/5 rating of the stay!

Great location for me, within walking distance of all the major sites, plenty of dining options nearby, the building itself was a treat! Staff was helpful. I was having a minor laundry emergency (a previous booking didn't have laundry services as advertised) and they were kind enough to accommodate me quickly and efficiently. The only down sides were seasonal. Our stay coincided with high temperatures and our room was stuffy, which is completely understandable, but the windows were not screened. Despite that, however, we very much enjoyed our stay and recommend it!

No breakfast offered despite saying from 8am to 10am. No reception in am even though it says from 8am. Shower and sink in bedroom feet away from bed. No ensuite. Common use toilet up 1 flight of stairs. When first arrived i was asked if my dog would bark as he barked in response to slamming front door snd voices outside. Dogs bark. Dont accept them if they are not to bark.

I needed city centre accommodation for 1 night at short notice for a reasonable price and The Coach House ticked multiple boxes for me. I was aware in advance of the limited facilities that are available in the hotel, so I was prepared to book on that premise. It turned out as I had expected, so I was happy with this during my stay. The hotel is in a safe area of the city centre, within easy walking distance of the bus station and both train stations. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, and a "Tesco Express" within 100 metres of the hotel. WiFi is available in the hotel, although I didn't use it as I had sufficient data allowance.....and surprisingly 4G connection.....which has historically been problematic in the city centre. As for my room, the bed was comfortable and there was sufficient space around it for my luggage. The shower cubicle was small, but the shower was ideal and I felt refreshed after use. The shared toilet is located on the 1st floor landing. To conclude, if you have a limited budget and aren't looking for luxurious accommodation then this hotel is well worth a visit 👍😉
