This sweet hotel is the best kept secret in Canterbury! It's literally next to the Cathedral Gates and within walking distance of the beautiful historic town of Canterbury. The staff treated us like family. We really enjoyed getting to know them, especially Rob, who went way above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. This is not your basic chain hotel. It is a historic Inn with history, character, and charm. People have been sleeping in this space for 586 years. Oh, if the walls could talk! We'll definitely be back.

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.

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. 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 staff was amazing and so helpful. I had all my bridal party staying at the hotel and they went above and beyond. The breakfast was amazing (continental buffet -pastries were so yummy- and a nice selection of cooked breakfast on top). The location is great (4mn walk from Canterbury West and 3mn walk from the old city/city centre). The rooms are so comfy (bath in the bathroom and beds are the comfiest I've slept in, in a while)

Continental breakfast was very good with excellent choice of food available. Staff very friendly and helpful. Loved the city centre location so close to the many attractions Canterbury has to offer, and literally right opposite the Marlowe Theatre which couldn't be more convenient when seeing a show there. My second stay at the Pilgrim Hotel and will definitely be back!

A lovely clean and well located place to explore the Canterbury area. The pub around the corner does a decent Carvery meal and there are buses to Canterbury town centre running frequently. The garden, while small, is pleasant and the lounge, kitchen, dining room were fit for purpose and pleasant to use. I liked the various books that were at the property.

The room we had was large, and very comfortable. The property was on 15 minutes from the town centre and the Cathedral. Great place for exploring the area. The continental breakfast was good. We found the staff helpful and very friendly. When we have the opportunity to return to Canterbury, we will use the Castle House Hotel again.
