Lovely two night stay in...

Liked: Excellent location right by the Cathedral, surrounded by pubs & restaurants, breakfast was continental. Room was very clean but not ensuite could do with a shelf under the mirror to put your toiletries on, very comfy bed, really enjoyed my two night stay.
Disliked: My only dislike was that my room was not ensuite.

A happy, most enjoyable stay.

Liked: The property has an ideal location for exploring the cathedral and central Canterbury. We loved the ancient, half-timbered building, which has old slightly sloping floors and little winding staircases. Everywhere was clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly and welcoming.

Perfect location in the most...

Liked: The hotel is literally attached to the Christ Church Gate of Canterbury Cathedral. Rod (Ron?) checked me in and was so kind as to offer me my choice of rooms. I stayed in Joy - aptly named because of the postcard-perfect view of the Cathedral immediately outside the window. The room has a full bathroom with a tub but no shower, which turned out to be a blessing for long soaks after full days of walking. The included continental breakfast is excellent, served in a room overlooking the square. Another review described the room layout at higgledy piggledy and that is spot on and part of this wonderful property's charm!
Disliked: I loved everything! One detail to know about, there are a lot of stairs and very tight staircases. The staff handles your luggage!
