Originally a town house built in 1800, this comfortable traditional hotel stands opposite the ancient city walls with all the attractions of historic Canterbury close by. An ideal base for touring East Kent and close to the channel ports and tunnel, making mainland Europe very close by and a popular day trip from Canterbury.
England's most famous cathedral city, Canterbury sits in one of the most attractive corners of rural Kent and has been welcoming visitors for over 2000 years. The city is easy to reach by road, rail, air and sea. With part of the city designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Canterbury today is a delightful mixture of architecture, history, arts and culture, museums, shops of every description, visitor attractions and good restaurants and pubs.

Did You Know?
The City has been a significant player in England's history since its beginnings as the Roman settlement of Duovernum. It was to Canterbury that Augustine came in AD597, sent from Rome to bring Christianity to England. Ruins of the abbey he founded, now an English Heritage site, stand just outside the city walls in Longport. Along with the cathedral and England's oldest parish church of St Martin, St Augustine's Abbey makes up the city's World Heritage Site.
