Excellent breakfast, very clean and cosy rooms. Very calm location but really close to the main street with a lot of restaurants, pubs and shops. Sanjeewa was very kind and helpful in every possible way. We are really happy with our stay.
The place was really calm and peaceful. My room was very cozy and clean. A special thanks to Mr Sanjeewa who is the property manager. He was very polite, friendly and helpful. He even allowed us to keep the luggage in a safe space in the lodge itself after checkout that may we could finish our lunch before we leave Canterbury. Will recommend the place to others.
For what we paid the hotel was good! Right next to the city center. Breakfast was basic but good and the worker ensured that it was constantly stocked up! Great for a couple of nights :)
The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, and all the other guests were clearly having a good time because we all wound up chatting over breakfast! Lovely!

Room was clean but small and dated. Had to fill the kettle with water in a mug due to the sink being very small.
Breakfast fine, and the owner very nice.

Great place to stay if looking for somewhere that doesn’t cost too much and you need to be right in the heart of Canterbury. Check in was nice and easy, arranged payment for parking in nearby multi story with no issues. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a bit basic but honestly great value for money. You get what you pay for. Ideal for if you’re on a budget. We stayed in family room (2 adults and 2 children). Everywhere was walking distance. Would definitely use again.
Sanjeewa worked extremely hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean, as was the bed and linen. Breakfast was adequate, but would have liked a croissant.
From the outside the place looked small but it was like Alice in wonderland it was huge!!!!! The men who worked there were lovely, so close to town, Yummy breakfast, and so quite was such a lovely stay....
You couldn't be more central (excellent location). Sanjeewa was wonderful - We thought we had an issue with our TV & he came up immediately to sort it (it was us, not the TV)! Breakfast was so good, continental but plenty of variety. Sanjeewa also allowed us to leave pur bags at the property, after check-out. Really can't rate this place highly enough, at the price we paid. Would recommend 💯
Very friendly host who takes away all problems challenges during your stay and gives you good directions for staying in Canterbury. Breakfast is good and the rooms are classical English style well equiped (fridge for cooling your drinks and have a drink/aperative in the hotel room). If you go to Canterbury go here
