Fantastic place to stay in Canterbury

The property, the room, the breakfast and the owner were all fantastic. The only downside was the Wi-Fi which at barely 0.4 mbs was unusable.

Luxury and little touches

A welcoming smile and lovely grey double bedroom. It was spacious and clean and had mirrored glass furniture. A nice box of chocolates, water and plenty of tea and coffee were also there on arrival. The breakfasts were amazing! Definitely go for the scrambled eggs!

On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile , shown to our room which we had upgraded due to a cancellation . Warm,clean good tea/coffee supplies. Went to breakfast and the breakfast room was so bright and full of bee related things which made a lovely table for us to dine . Well what can I say about breakfast … amazing and the best we have ever had . Looking out of the window at dusk there was a friendly fox in the garden which we enjoyed watching playing with the owners dog ! Within walking distance of the town centre was great and parking at the hotel too . Nothing was too much trouble when I asked if there was decaf coffee , the next day it was there at breakfast . This is definitely a hidden gem , would highly recommend.

Wonderful rooms and location

Beautifully furnished and quiet, very spacious room. Lisa is a consummate host and went to loads of trouble decorating the breakfast room to celebrate Easter. The breakfasts are fantastic too. There were only two small downsides: there is an electric charge point for EV's, but it obviously isn't used much and Lisa wasn't sure how to make it work. We managed about an hour's charge and had to go and find a charging point in town and sit in the car while that happened. It would have been perfect if this could have happened while the car was parked at the B&B. Secondly, it helps if you are an early riser. Last call for breakfast was 8:45am which is a bit early for us on holiday especially as the clocks went forward the first night of our stay. Other than this it is a great place to stay and a hand walk into Canterbury.

Very nice room but, extremely high bed, I had to fashion a step out of cushions and pillows! The towels were very hard and certainly not fluffy. On the good side the cooked breakfast was delicious.
