A fantastic place to stay. The room was spacious, well equipped and the views of the cathedral unparalleled. Special access to the grounds was amazing and the breakfast was delicious and included options for gluten free and vegetarian.

A gorgeous, charming boutique hotel, located in the centre of historic Canterbury. Quirky historic building with modern interior design features. Perfect location for exploring this beautiful city. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean, absolutely loved the luxurious toiletries, Verden is my favourite brand, great tea selection too. The breakfast was not your typical breakfast buffet and in fact a lovely menu cooked to order, it was delicious.

Hotel was lovely, the guy at reception was very nice and helpful, and we had a nice time in the pool. The room was cosy, and I liked that it was pet friendly as I had my cat with me (we were moving across the country). Breakfast was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

FAQs about hotels in Canterbury

Heavenly Heritage and Literary Legend

Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.

River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.

From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.

In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

Canterbury is a beautiful city even though it was very wet we had a lovely time. We went to complete our Christmas shopping and we were not disappointed. The markets are good and there are stalls that offer real handmade crafted goods. Our hotel was central and we found lots of lovely places to eat and to grab a coffee. We will definitely go back!

The Cathedral is a must as it is surrounded by many historic buildings as well as the views of the Kings School. The ruined Abbey is nearby and worth a visit. The lack of vehicles in the central area is wonderful. Several pleasant parks are within the city and some small rivers cross the it. The library and museum are well worth a look particularly the museum with a reasonably good collection as well as regular featured exhibitions.

Canterbury is beautiful. The cathedral is a must. The Christmas market lovely but shuts at 6pm! We ate in the Cosy Club which was good. As a disabled person, the cobbled streets can be a bit painful on the mobility scooter!

Super interesting history at the Cathedral, St Augustine Abbey ruins, the old town, St Martin's church. There is a popular cat cafe and plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. I was there in late November and some of the open hours were shortened. A beautiful and interesting visit nonetheless.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty. We visited the stunning Cathedral and just loved the selection of shops and seeing the Christmas lights and surrounding stalls around the cathedral. Really put us in a Christmas mood. A huge choice of places to eat and drink - train station within walking distance of town centre.

The location could hardly be better for visiting Canterbury. It is only a ten-minute walk to the city centre. Another big positive is that there is ample parking for anyone arriving by car. The building is a beautiful 14th century timber-frame construction, that is now a restaurant on the ground floor with hotel accommodation above, entered by a separate door so that guests don't have to walk through the dining area to get to bedrooms. There is no breakfast service, but there are plenty of cafes nearby.

The hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Canterbury. Onsite parking is limited and cannot be pre-booked - luckily we only had small cases and parked in council car park but it was a bit of a walk back to the hotel so if you have anyone with limited mobility or you have large cases you need to be aware of this. Dinner in the hotel was lovely, they bought me the wrong drink but quickly replaced it. Breakfast was delicious and plenty for us. Staff were all pleasant and helpful.
