Pros:

Vecchia costruzione affiancata ad un antico pub. La padrona e molto gentile. La struttura e vecchia ma sufficientemente attrezzata in relazione al contesto del vecchio pub. Ottima la posizione per Canterbury

Pros:

Wur kamen sehr spät an, die Küche war schon geschlossen, uns wurde ein super leckeres Sandwich mit Salat und tacos serviert mit einem herrlichen Bier 🍺 auf der Terrasse. Das hat uns nach einem Stau reichen Tag gerettet und wir danken der Wirtin sehr dafür 🥰
Zimmer sind klimatisiert und mit einem kleinen Kühlschrank ausgestattet.

Cons:

Insgesamt sehr altes Haus, aber behindertengerecht und sauber. Sehr harte Betten.

Verouderde accommodatie maar wel schoon en fijn personeel
Pros:

De airco op de kamer en het feit dat het niet direct aan de straat ligt.

Cons:

De accommodatie is sterk verouderd en kan wel een update gebruiken.

Absolutely lovely venue would definitely stay again - Air-con in the room was a real plus.
Pros:

Air-Con and fridge in the room (we stayed during the June 2026 heatwave)
Hi and Low shower options as well as a bath.
Complimentary tea /coffee / water / hairdryer / towels / shower gel in the room on arrival
Lovely breakfast
Large double bed (which was actually two singles pushed together)
Lamps with USB and USB-C charging ports
Ample car parking space

Cons:

If there was one improvement I would suggest at this lovely hotel it would be that the bedroom could have done with having blackout curtains - we had a rear facing room and with sunrise at just after 4am (June 2026) the room was daylight very early on.

Nuttig voor het doel om efficiënt door te reizen
Pros:

Het was schoon en netjes

Cons:

We wilden om half 8 ontbijten, maar de eigenaar gaf aan dat dat pas vanaf 8 uur kon. Ze was er nog niet aan toegekomen om het op de website aan te passen, en overigens ook niet in de informatie op de kamer zelf.
Wij hadden juist deze locatie gekozen om op tijd de ferry in Dover te kunnen halen
Uiteindelijk gaf ze toch toe en konden we alsnog ontbijten (helaas met aangebrande toast)
De eigenaar was een beetje chagrijnig en niet vriendelijk naar het meisje dat haar kwam helpen, ook dat is een verbeterpunt
