    The quiet atmosphere and lovely historic charm of the hotel provided a perfect backdrop for our stay. The array of USB sockets next to the bed was an unexpected but much-appreciated convenience.

    Delightful stay with charming ambiance

    We really enjoyed our time here, particularly the unique vintage decor and the delicious breakfast, which boasted freshly baked pastries and a great selection of organic juices. The location was perfect for exploring the city's attractions, making walking to the cathedral a breeze. I would appreciate better coffee options available in the room.

    spacious room
    beautiful bar
    relaxing garden
    noise from above

    I had a lovely stay with a spacious Classic Double Room and enjoyed a refreshing drink in the beautifully renovated bar. The garden area was a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun, although I did notice some noise from the floors above. this place is a charming getaway, but I’d recommend earplugs just in case! 😊

    The morning coffee was served with fresh beans, making it delightful.

    The bar area felt soulless and lacked any inviting ambiance.

    Charming Stay with Friendly Staff

    Had a delightful time during our 3-night visit! The staff provided exceptional service, always greeting us with a smile. The serene garden added a lovely touch to our mornings. Pro tip, explore nearby cafes for a better breakfast experience rather than opting for the hotel options.

    cozy atmosphere
    friendly service
    delicious breakfast
    weak shower

    We had a delightful stay just a 10-minute walk from the heart of Canterbury, with comfortable rooms and a cozy vibe. The breakfast was a standout, featuring fresh local produce and a made-to-order station that got our mornings off to a great start. Plus, we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, especially since we traveled with a few couples.

    In my wife’s opinion, the shower could use a little more power for a better experience.
