Canterbury Hotel Cottages and Apartment's

We stayed in cottage number 10. It is in good state of decorating, well equipped with cooking equipment. Salt, pepper and vinegar, washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, dish washing cloth and tea towel provided as well as soap and showers gel. Comfortable beds and great shower plus effective and easy to control electric radiators in all rooms, and plenty of storage. We parked virtually outside the bungalow cottage. Soundproofing is effective. Everything was clean and well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. Garden was great for walking our puppy in mornings and evenings. Great location for walking or getting bus into Canterbury. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

The hotel is well situated in a leafy part of town about 15-20 minutes walk from the town centre, and about the same from Canterbury Christ Church University. It has guest parking at the front and a lovely large lawn+trees garden at the back with plenty of seating to sit in groups or alone in secluded parts. The house is large and airy, an old historical mansion (victorian?) with high ceilings and some original features (e.g. wooden staircase, fireplaces..). We had a good-sized quiet bedroom overlooking the side of the property, with a comfortable double bed and clean crisp white cotton bedding. Plenty of power sockets and good facilities (TV, good wifi, hairdryer, iron, kettle). Bathroom was clean and hot water plentiful (although plumbing showing signs of age). Breakfast was excellent, self-service buffet with wide range of cereals, pastries, fresh and tinned fruit, yogurts, dairy and non-dairy milk, tea/coffee/herbals, and very good frequently topped up cooked food (scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, baked beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns), toast and jams. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We had room no 1, with a 4 poster bed, in the main building. Room was a nice size, and overlooked the well maintained garden. Very peaceful night's sleep. Bed was comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh apart from the bottom of the wardrobe which could have done with a bit of a dust/vacuum. Breakfast room was bright and the buffet was very good and checked regularly by staff. Staff were friendly. Car park was a decent size and easy to park. Note that you need to register your car registration at Reception. 10-15 minute walk into town - there are also buses.

Reception staff upon arrival were very friendly and helpful. The room was luxurious and the four poster bed was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and there was an excellent variety of hot and cold foods. All were self service, but if something wasn't there staff replenished as soon as it was noticed. Location was great, a short walk to the old city walls and cathedral, but easy to get to and from by car when travelling further afield. Also free parking on site was a bonus as Canterbury car parks can be quite expensive.

When we arrived the room was great but unfortunately did not have a shower either walk in or in the bath only a shower attachment. We were on our way out and mentioned it to reception and actually to our surprise they offered to move us to a room with a walk in shower but only for the 2nd night which was fabulous and in fact the room overlooked the garden so another bonus.
