This is a great hotel to stay in when visiting Canterbury. Location is superb. From the moment I called to book the room to the minute we left the service was of the highest quality. We stayed for 3 nights and made to feel very welcome at all times. Lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite, there was also somewhere to leave our bicycles. All the staff were polite and helpful, particularly Alysha in the wonderful cocktail bar, and the kind gent who aided us with our storage requirements. The room was very clean, towels were huge, mattress nice and firm. Great selection of cocktails, with a knowledgeable

Ideal location yards from one of the city centre historic gate, so easy to walk into city for sightseeing etc. Good served breakfast. Rooms are in an annexe building, very cute and smart decor, but small and very irritating to access with luggage through an external door that needs a 7 character pass code tapped in, after dragging your bags across a very uneven outside surface. So, it's quirky and pretty, but not too practical. Friendly staff. Nice sitting rooms inside the main building of you need somewhere to sit for meetings etc.

Beautiful old hotel full of charachter and close to the town. For me, the water pressure in the shower was epic. I know it sounds an odd observation but in such an old building, I was pleasantly surprised by the bathroom! Possibly room for improvement in the breakfast. The four poster bed in the standard room we booked was a wonderful surprise and felt like a trip in time. Lovely experience overall we shall certainly return
