Pros:

The location was great. Central but out of the way of the noise and bustle of the high street in a lovely (Georgian?) street. There is a wonderful community cafe next door and Number 8 is near a couple of good pubs - love the beer garden at the White Hart - and two restaurants right opposite. Good facilities for a suite - plus communal kitchen if you need more - and a really comfortable bed. Would definitely return.

Cons:

I would have preferred mugs to paper cups in the suite.

Sentral beliggenhet og fine rom
Pros:

Veldig sentralt i gamlebyen, ikke langt unna Cantebury Cathedral, shopping og restauranter. Veldig rent og fint rom, enkel tilgang med kodelåser. Veldig hyggelig vert som driver kafeen ved siden av. Savnet frokostservering, men med kjøleskap på rommet og engangsartikler så løste vi det med mat på rommet.

Very happy 😊 We would stay again!
Pros:

We stayed in the King Room, which is the smallest room, but it was still big enough (We wasn’t in the room lots anyway)

-Great location
-Everything we needed
-Comfy bed and Pillows
-Coffee and tea
-Toiletries
-Hairdryer
-Air conditioning (excellent during the heatwave)

Chatterbox cafe next door was very nice with a cute garden.

Thanks for having us.

Cons:

Not a complaint as such, but something I thought worth mentioning - It was quite dusty.

Worth every penny!
Pros:

Everything was absolutely perfect : spotless clean, beautiful bathroom ( thay even offer hair conditioner and body lotion), very comfortable bed.
The air conditioning was a life saver during the heatwave! They are dog friendly and they offer a dog bed and bowls.

Also the location is fantastic, very close to town centre but super quiet.
We really enjoyed it so much, should we come back to Canterbury we will definitely stay there again.
Thank you so much!

Cons:

Everything was great

Pros:

Alles was keurig netjes schoon, duidelijke instructies. Airco werd zeer gewaardeerd.

Cons:

Het parkeren ging niet gelijk goed maar dat was een kleine miscommunicatie en uiteindelijk goedgekomen, dus eigenlijk niets dat tegenviel
