Not as advertised.

The Coach House is ideally located for exploring Canterbury City Centre, Cathedral, St. Augustine's Abbey, etc without the need for a car. Tesco's for everyday essentials, Boots for emergency medication is right across the road. The guest house is dog friendly and the owners were very kind and loving towards our Labrador. As a B&B, we were rather surprised to find that no breakfast was to be included during our three night break. Breakfast is only served on Saturday and Sunday, we think. Dear Joanne Sorry but breakfast is not included and not available at The Coach House. There are many places close by where you can have breakfast. A couple of Cafe down the road when you turn left coming out of the building. If you want cooked breakfast, there is a place on Castle street called Chatterbox. Alternatively, there's Bill's and The Ivy on Rose Lane which are a bit pricier. Have a great stay! Ben There are seven bedrooms and owing to the age of the building and size of the Guest House, it would not be practical to put a lift in. You can select a room option, so FYI, rooms 6 and 7 are on the ground floor. I had booked room 1 assuming it to be ground floor, but it is 1st floor. The stairs are narrow and rather awkward for those with mobility issues. Our en suite comprised a nicely sized shower cubicle and a sink in the bedroom and a toilet across the landing to be shared with room 5. Our room was a good size, but the walls and ceiling were in need of sprucing up somewhat.

Well located

The hotel is well situated, and has a private parking for 4 cars. We could visit Canterbury by foot without any problem. The place is a bit old, but quite clean.

We had a fabulous stay at the Coach House in their comfortably large family room, where our dog was also welcome. We were hugely grateful they were able to accommodate us after the dreadful VRBO let us down badly (the place we'd booked turned out to be occupied by another guest and the landlord claimed it had been taken off VRBO several months earlier). When we found out at 7.30pm that there was no actual booking available and had to find an alternative ourselves, the Coach House could not have been more friendly or helpful. We were very appreciative and would stay there again if visiting Canterbury. We will certainly NEVER book anything again with the truly terrible VRBO who couldn't have been more useless. The only slight niggle was that the bathroom wasn't en suite, but across the landing outside the bedroom door. But it didn't appear to be used by anyone else, so not a major problem.

Visit to Canterbury

I selected the Coach House Canterbury the day of based on reviews and was happy with my selection. It’s close to all the areas to walk around in the city. The room was clean and had an en-suite. Definitely recommend!

Good location and a nice property. Three weird things: one the toilet was out of the room and upstairs, two the shower was directly in the room which is very weird and uncomfortable and three there were no staff on site at all which was odd. Otherwise good facilities and a comfy bed.

Lovely place with kind helpful staff who looked out for our family. Breakfast wasn't available, but the manager gave us some good tips, and there's plenty of great food options throughout the city. My stepson loved it, especially the big bathroom linked to the family room we used. And our dog felt at home, so was very relaxed. Its a perfect location for access to the centre, but keep in mind if you're a light-sleeper during a weekend as it can get noisy outside late at night.
