We had a lovely time at this property, we were given a big room and large bathroom. I would recording breakfast to your booking at the time of when you book as it is well worth it. The hot breakfast was yummy and plenty of options from the cold options. The best thing about this hotel were the staff, special shout out to Rosario as she was absolutely amazing, perfect service and nothing was too much. Reasonably priced, we would deffo stay here again

The hotel is family run and this is reflected by the staff who were very friendly throughout our 4 night stay. In house carvery and restaurant was good for an excellent meal. Also excellent breakfasts. The hotel is in walking distance from the city centre but there are also regular buses. The property is kept very clean and our room had a huge comfortable bed. The hotel was ideal for our short stay. I would chose to stay there again if I visit the area.

Great family-run B&B, within 15-20 minutes walk from Canterbury West Station and the city center. Beds are comfortable, dining options were satisfactory and reasonably priced. Wifi was great, I was able to get some work done in the evening. Would come back again. If I were being picky, the showers could be more powerful!
