The receptionist was courteous and friendly. The apartment was clean and beautifully furnished and was great for us to stay in for a couple of nights. The paintwork needs a make over in the bedroom and bathroom and a new carpet in the bedroom but as they are renovating the outside I am assuming all this is on their to do list. It was a good stay though.
The room was clean and spacious, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfasts was a good choice of English and continental breakfast, if you are travelling by car to the hotel then you have plenty of space in to park, i travelled to Canterbury by train, the nearest station is Canterbury east
Only a short strip from the centre and parking is a real bonus. Nice building and cosy bar area. Breakfast was help yourself and had good variety.
Our room was directly above reception so on the road we could hear cars. Also the telephone started to ring loudly at reception at 7am which woke us.
Other than that it was nice and good value for money.
Great little cottage in the grounds of a lively hotel. Plenty of room two good sized bedrooms bathroom and a kitchen/lounge. Plenty of space and a nice out door seating area. 15 min walk to the city centre.
We absolutely loved our stay. Breakfast was delicious in a beautiful room, fans in the room kept it cool, outside garden was lovely. Easy walk to town and restaurants.
This is a lovely hotel to stay in, my room had a canopy bed and fireplace, huge with high ceilings. Nice and walkable to the Cathedral. Breakfast offered lotsof choice and good food.
I cannot praise this hotel highly enough!
Just wish I could have stayed longer.
The staff were kind & helpful, my room was spotless, warm & comfortable, the public areas were tastefully decorated, the grounds were beautiful & the buffet breakfast was delicious, with lots of choice.
An excellent stay, right in the heart of Canterbury.
Thank you!
