I stay in hotels and bnbs and guest houses all over the world. This one is fantastic. A rare mix of luxury and homeliness. Perfect. (And very reasonable price wise too!)

Stayed 2 nights at the White House. It's just lovely! The décor is stylish and very tasteful. Our room was comfortable, spotlessly clean and had a great shower. The location is perfect as it is right in the heart of Canterbury but down a quiet lane so you have the best of both worlds.The host were great too, a good... More

We loved this place - the perfect location in a picturesque, quiet lane, right in the town centre and only 10 minutes' walk from Canterbury West station. What's more, the owners have transformed the elegant Victorian building into a modern, stylish and comfortable little hotel, whilst retaining character and warmth. What a skill - to create such a perfect combination... More

Stayed here one night recently and it is a great little find. B&B's in Canterbury aren't what you'd call cheap, but I didn't mind paying to stay at this place. As soon as you step through the door you quickly realise that this is more than your standard B&B. No chintz or fussyness in sight - just sleek, modern furnishing,... More

Stayed at the White House one night as we had a function to attend in Canterbury. Lovely house, great decoration, Modern Decor mixed with the House's original achitecture very stylishly. The situation is perfect for a break in the City, literally 1 minute walk from the High Street and the shops, restaurants, etc, but in a nice quiet "backwater". Very... More

This is my 6th annual visit to The White House and I love it. Adrian is a friendly and relaxed host who appears genuinely happy to help. The rooms are lovely - I've stayed in 3 of them. I prefer to be at the back as it is very quiet. The shower rooms are new and the whole place is... More

Well thought out style and nicely decorated. Adrian catered to everyone's needs and made us feel at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and for a one night stay in Canterbury we couldn't have asked for more.

We found the White house to be a enjoyable stay and we felt that the owners were very accomadating and friendly. They went out of there way to make sure that our needs were met and that everything was in order. The B and B's location is second to none just around the corner to the new Marlow theartre and...

Spent one day in Canterbury (beautiful town!) and spent the night at the White House B&B. It is a lovely place, very clean with the right mix of modern yet classic decor. Location is perfect, just around the corner from the High Street and parking is very convenient. Breakfast was delicious and the owner, Adrian, is very pleasant. Will definitely... More

Owner is very strange and does not remember arrangements made. He was quite rude even though we did tell him we were arriving late. We had to pay for parking aswell and given that it is pricey enough to stay here parking should be included .rooms are nice but the rest of the problems mean that we won't be returning... More

As you had advised you would possibly be arriving late, we did telephone to check you had directions and an estimated time of arrival, knowing you were coming from Ireland and concerned that you may not be totally...
