Great Location

The hotel is in a great location and onsite parking is available if you reserve in advance. The breakfast was excellent and the room was generally comfortable although it lacked any seating other than on the bed.

Magical Canterbury Retreat for Two

An excellent facility in the cathedral complex which was just what we wanted. We love the cathedral and it is so central to everywhere we wanted to go. At night the floodlit building is magical - photo is from our room window.

Nice hotel in great location in Cathedral grounds

Very nice hotel right in the grounds of the cathedral. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was very good. My only complaints are the directions to the hotel and parking arrangements both of which were a tor nightmare. Otherwise a very pleasant stay

Wonderful location, excellent staff, breakfast was good. Hopefully bathrooms will be remodeled at some point. They are not dirty or old but the sizing of the fixtures needs to be addressed.
