The room was spotless. Clean tidy and cosy. When we booked in they gave us an opportunity to have a ground floor room which was especially helpful. Food excellent and prompt. Bar area comfy with prices on par with pub. Would recommend a stay here if coming to Canterbury. Staff extremely helpful, very big car park.

Great staff, great quality breakfast, good location. Rooms are a bit tired but you expect this for the price. I did question whether the sheets had been changed since the last guest after finding hair in the bed. Also stains on the bedding. Otherwise no complaints.

I don’t think I should have to request that our room be serviced, it should be standard procedure unless I request otherwise. When I did ask for it to be serviced I returned at 11pm and nothing had been done!
