A lovely looking pub with a nice atmosphere. However, the food was terrible. They were out of beefburgers for a start which isn't great for a pub. The burger I did get (wild boar and chorizo) was OK but the chips were essentially kebab shop chips and very oily. The roast that my husband had, resembled poor school dinners and... More

This hotel is full of charm and character, rooms were very clean and looked in keeping with the character of the building. We enjpyed every minute of our stay except the fire alarm at 3am due to a person smoking in their room at night, but this is hardly the hotels fault. As I have said in my review of... More

My large extended family booked all of the 9 rooms for 2 nights on 4th to 6th May 2013 for a family wedding, and can't fault the experience. The Hotel is a lovely olde worlde affair, with lot of quaint seating areas to settle in for a few drinks. The bedrooms were spotless, the beds are a bit soft, but... More

This is a well situated hotel for sight seeing in and around Canterbury. it is walking distance to the Park and Ride, which is great for trips to the centre of Canterbury and being on the New Dover Road handy for the coast. The room rate includes a continental breakfast, but cooked breakfasts are available for a reasonable price. The... More

We recently stayed for two nights, the location is perfect right next to the park and ride. Thats the only good thing though, the management are terrible. When we arrived there was no member of staff available to book us in we stood for 15 minutes and after a long journey this was extremely annoying. Eventually the kitchen manager had... More

This is about the 4th time we have stayed here and I'm pleased to say we will stay again on our next visit to Canterbury. I think the rooms and corridors have had a lick of paint since our last visit just over a year ago. We had a room on the road and whilst the DIY double glazing didn't... More

This hotel has a great location, it is right next to the Canterbury park and ride site and only 20 mins drive from the ferry port at Dover. It could be a really successful hotel that you would return to time and again. It is currently being refurbished and although our room had been reserved four weeks previously it was... More

Avoid Room 8 at all costs. It is over the kitchen and has a roaring fan set into the wall just below the window which will keep you awake unless they switch it off early (not while we were there). Also all the bins are directly underneath.

Stayed here with the family after returning my oldest daughter to university in Canterbury. Problems with the plumbing meant that we had two rooms one to shower in and the family room to stay in. The rooms are well furnished and really quite well laid out, the problems are with the bathrooms, the last refurbishment of the bathrooms was not... More
