Top Howletts Wild Animal Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very nice house, quiet and clean. The staff is helpful and very friendly. A shower instead of the bathtub would have been perfect. I'd turn back there!"

The Evenhill

10/10 Excellent

"We were lucky as my wife and I were given an upgrade to a spacious Family Room during our 2 night stay. Room was clean and staff were very helpful. Breakfasts and dinners were well cooked and generous. My wife thought the home-made steak and kidney pie was exceptional. Great advice to use the Park & Ride. Location was quiet and tranquil with accommodation located in separate building to the rear of the pub. Only minor maintenance issue I spotted was cracked tiles behind the bathroom door. Otherwise, everything was fabulous!"

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Rooms are fine but could use a bit of freshening. Our bed was comfortable and the location was quiet. The continental breakfast was a huge disappointment. Several things were not available and what was served was just okay. The front desk staff are superior and they were very helpful with any questions we asked. The location makes this hotel a wonderful choice but don’t expect great food."

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"In the centre of Canterbury. Very quiet, helpful staff."

The Bat and Ball

8/10 Good

"The Bat and Ball is a 6 bedroom B&B in a former Pub opposite the Spitfire Cricket ground. It has a small car park and narrow staircase to the rooms. The downstairs has a lounge area with guests' fridge, complimentary coffee machine and industrial microwave. Although you are not allowed to eat in the rooms, the breakfast room is available for use all day and evening. We used our own picnic set. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate. The television in our room buffered a few times but otherwise the wifi worked fine. There is a convenient bus stop just down the road on the P3 route."

Corner House

10/10 Excellent

"a nice place to stay - full of character and close to main attractions. We had the attic room -ok for us but not suited to tall guests or those where a tight, steep and winding staircase would be difficult. Very good breakfast delivered to the door . We would also recommend The Corner House restaurant."

The Duke William

10/10 Excellent

"A last minute overnight stay at The Duke William turned out to be an exceptional choice. A very friendly welcome as soon as we arrived, then shown to our room which was clean, tidy and comfortable. The evening menu was interesting. Had the Folkestone Mackerel which was served with a variety of good quality tomatoes and samphire. Vegetable side dish was full of high quality veggies. Washed down with a bottle of Picpoul which was probably the nicest I have tried. Breakfast was again lovely with good quality ingredients, very good value! The village is very nice and the whole experience left me wanting to come back again. Great staff, and obviously a great chef too!"

The Millers Arms

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay and the staff were all helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was heavenly as was our late evening dessert. Very well maintained property."

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can not recommend this spot enough- first of all, every staff member is so warm and congenial. The room is beautiful, and the complimentary breakfast is table service (mind blowing to my American standards!). Being right in the Cathedral grounds puts you in the midst of everything but yet in a nice quiet oasis. Would come back just to stay here again."
