Canterbury little gem
Pros:

A beautiful location for a short stay for us..unfortunately. A really nice room in a small hotel with really nice gardens, well located next to main roads but you don't have any road noise, a good night's sleep shouldn't be a problem. Staff were really nice, seems like a relatively small group but great communication.

Cons:

Nothing
