"Location central. Short walk to the Canterbury Cathedral , easy access to walk on the Wall close by that surrounds the old town.. Lots of shops and places to eat. The walk to the hotel was longer than anticipated but was much more pleasant on the way back to train station back to London being more relaxed knowing the route. Highly recommend visiting Canterbury. Recommend staying two days to see Canterbury."

"The room we had was nicely decorated with a lovely comfortable big bed and a wonderful seaview. Check in was easy and we were able to buy a parking permit. (As it was a weekend it was initially quite difficult to find a parking space - this was the only drawback) All the staff were polite and friendly particularly the lovely waitress who served us in the restaurant. Good buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. All in all a great experience and would certainly visit again."
