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.

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 Cathedral is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction and you need several hours to fully appreciate the architecture and the features of the building. It isn't a cheap day out (currently the cost of entry is £18.00 per person - October 2025) but still represents good value, as you can use this to visit any number of times within one year. Despite the distance we will go back again, as I now know there are several things we missed during our visit. There are other things to see, but we only had one day in the city itself and the Cathedral was our main choice to visit.

We went for a long weekend - primarily to see the Catherdral. The Catherdral was stunning. We even went to the Sunday morning service, which was genuinely interesting to see. The whole building and surrounding estate was really worth the visit. The part of the city around the Catherdral was also lovely. Lots of indepdendent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Obviosuly some of it caters to the toursit trade, but overall it was really nice. We found a lovely vegetarian cafe, The Veg Box, and had a fantastic Italian meal on the evening. We also went to see a film at the Curzon at what looke dlike a brand new entertainment area. The Riverside, just at the northern end of the centre. Lots of history to learn about and a nice compact city centre. Rest of the weekend utilised our Nationa Trust membership at a couple of nearby places.

Canterbury is a pretty city with a rich history and plenty to do and see. Walking around the old streets and the canal is a very pleasant way to spend the day. There are many fantastic green spaces such as Westgate Park and you can enjoy punting on the canal. There are many great places to eat and drink and attractions like Canterbury Cathedral and the Roman Museum. It is well served by two train stations and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. You definitely need more than one day there!

Great city will lots of history , culture and vitality. Lovely walks along the Stour. Are at The Millers Arms and Pinocchios, both great mid-range ( Millers a pub and Pinocchios an Italian restaurant. However, there are upper bracket and lower bracket restaurants to choose from (Millers Arms was Dog friendly, Pinocchios wasn’t)

We loved everything. Little Wisteria is a very spacious modern and impeccably clean loft apartment. It is in a rural location, but only 35 minutes walk from the Canterbury town centre. The hosts, Colette and Mark are lovely, warm people who make you feel very welcome. They have paid a lot of attention to detail when sett up the apartment. It has great views and really does feel like being home. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Wisteria to anyone looking for a 5 star accommodation near Canterbury.

The hotel is very central. The car parking arrangement is excellent - yes, it's £25 but that's a big discount on the standard parking charge in the centre of Canterbury and you can go in and out as often as you like for 24 hours. The room was a bit small but very comfortable, with plenty of sockets. The bathroom was excellent.
