Top Howletts Zoo Hotel Reviews

Canterbury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One overnight stay before heading to the coast. After a very long journey it was great that it was easy to find with plenty of parking. We were checked in quickly and on our way to a nearby restaurant in a short space of time. Breakfast had a good selection to choose from. Both hot and cold. However, if steps are an issue. Please note there is no lift and there are stairs to reach all rooms"

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Price and staff were great, Clean, comfortable, a bar/food but most importantly the location is dynamite! Would highly recommend this place!!!"

★Tulip Tree Cottage★ Huge Garden+village setting+near Canterbury+dog friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, great to have a ground floor bedroom and bathroom too. Well stocked with all the basic supplies and access to lovely walks from the door. Ground floor is pet friendly, garden is almost secure but not quite, garden is shared so probably best to keep the dogs on a lead anyway. Host James cannot do enough for you and is very responsive if you have any questions. One of my favourite places.Local Bridge is well serviced with pubs and a shop and bus links to main towns. Short drives to the coast or other cities nearby."
