We loved the quirky nature of the hotel. The age of the property meant there was a distinct slope to the floors- but for one night it was fine. Strange to have to walk across a rooftop to get to the bedrooms - another quirk. Canterbury is a lovely city and we certainly would come again. We recommend The Foundry as a place to have a drink and also The Cooks Tale for a modern twist on Indian food.

Comfortable clean rooms in a very central location. One room overlooking the cathedral was quite small but nevertheless good value for money. The larger room was also warm, comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and Continental breakfast was set us up for the day. We would certainly return.
