onprettig verblijf wegens koude.
Cons:

Het hele hotel was slecht verwarmd. Pas na aandringen bij personeel werd de verwarming aangezet en aangezien we naast een radiator zaten, werd het nog een beetje comfortabel

The location is great, the hotel is a lovely building with lots of history behind it, very welcoming grounds & the staff were all excellent.

Cons:

Even though the room was great, we felt the bed was a little uncomfortable, everyone is different though, so don't let that put you off

Bonne étape près de Canterbury avec bon rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

Hôtel confortable. Très bon petit déjeuner. En été possibilité de déjeuner en extérieur et très joli jardin

Cons:

Il n'y a pas de restaurant aux alentours : c'est dommage d'autant que le jour où nous étions présents, le restaurant de l'hôtel était fermé. Hôtel un peu isolé et en retrait de Canterbury
