Situated in the grounds of the Cathedral this could not have been more perfect. A beautifully designed building with a calm ecclesiastical feel to it. Staff were all excellent, professional and helpful. Superb breakfast. Relaxing gardens. Open access to the cathedral was a true bonus

From start to finish (one night stay) everything was exceptional. Staff were most pleasant. Place was clean and quiet. Dinner and breakfast were superb. Literally the only quibble I had was the bacon for breakfast was not soft the way I like it.

FAQs about hotels in Canterbury

Heavenly Heritage and Literary Legend

Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.

River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.

From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.

In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

The Cathedral is a must as it is surrounded by many historic buildings as well as the views of the Kings School. The ruined Abbey is nearby and worth a visit. The lack of vehicles in the central area is wonderful. Several pleasant parks are within the city and some small rivers cross the it. The library and museum are well worth a look particularly the museum with a reasonably good collection as well as regular featured exhibitions.

Canterbury is beautiful. The cathedral is a must. The Christmas market lovely but shuts at 6pm! We ate in the Cosy Club which was good. As a disabled person, the cobbled streets can be a bit painful on the mobility scooter!

Super interesting history at the Cathedral, St Augustine Abbey ruins, the old town, St Martin's church. There is a popular cat cafe and plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. I was there in late November and some of the open hours were shortened. A beautiful and interesting visit nonetheless.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty. We visited the stunning Cathedral and just loved the selection of shops and seeing the Christmas lights and surrounding stalls around the cathedral. Really put us in a Christmas mood. A huge choice of places to eat and drink - train station within walking distance of town centre.

The hotel is very central. The car parking arrangement is excellent - yes, it's £25 but that's a big discount on the standard parking charge in the centre of Canterbury and you can go in and out as often as you like for 24 hours. The room was a bit small but very comfortable, with plenty of sockets. The bathroom was excellent.

We were really impressed with the hotel - it's in a great location for Canterbury and the ferries. The staff were very friendly and helpful, it was spotlessly clean throughout. Great breakfast very freshly cooked. Everything about our stay was faultless and I would definitely stay here if in the area in the future.

The hotel is in a brilliant location within the cathedral grounds in the centre of Canterbury, with friendly and attentive staff. We were fortunate enough to be allowed to park onsite which was a great help with a baby. The apartment was a good size, with plenty of space and good sized TV's.
