my partner and I just returned from a stay at Clare Ellen. From the minute we entered the premises the owner was so hospitable to us. He showed us our room even though we arrived early and then proceeded to give us some info on the local area which was very helpful. We were blessed with brilliant weather took a... More

We spent four nights in Ahmad's in March 2012 our room was nicely furnished the small fridge was very useful plentiful supplies of tea/coffee etc. Well,what can we say about breakfast,full English everyday,all absolutely delicious! Ahmad was very welcoming and due to his local knowledge was full of ideas of where to visit. Mike & Kate.

We stayed with another couple for one night. The rooms were quite old but that was really the only issue. Everything was tidy and clean, plus the small fridge is always appreciated. The next morning I tried the English breakfast and my wife had cereals with fruits and yoghurt. We both loved the dining room and the food.

Only 1 night stay with wife and son and daughter-in-law, we usually stay in the Millers Arms, but they were booked full months ago. The Clare Ellen B&B is a nice 10 mins walk to the center of Canterbury. The rooms are a decent size ,we had the twin room on the top floor, the furniture is quite old but... More

I stayed for two nights and though they didn't have a single, I was given a double for probably slightly lower than their going rate, which was comparable to every other place I stayed. The room was airy, with a writing desk, chair, tea service, hair dryer (check all the drawers) and a good sized shower. I only ate breakfast... More

A good size double room with the bonus of a fridge. Minor details in room were 2 bedside lights over the bed were badly placed as you sat up... More

Our double bedroom was very cramped and shabby. A pipe in the bathroom was covered in black mould! Awful scratched wooden surround around handbasin in the bathroom. Bedroom needs a total refurbishment! Breakfast service left a lot to be desired too. Highly disappointing and amazed at the good reviews on your website!! Only good thing about the house was it...

A weekend in Canterbury, a change of scene... Sabrina & Eva were most cheerfull & friendly hostesses, the room was charming, large, and comfortable, the en-suite well equipped & clean ('tho small). The location was quiet while within easy walking distance of the cathedral, there is private parking. The breakfasts were copious and fantastic, with breakfasts like that, who needs... More
