This is a charming, characterful B&B. The owner was kind and friendly. The layout is a little unusual, it appears to have been converted from a former small pub and the two adjoining houses. The owners seem to have put a lot of care into making the best use of the space, although those accommodated on the ground floor might find it a little inconvenient in that the doors open immediately into the breakfast room. Our room (at the front, on first floor was clean, comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was on the small side but had an excellent shower. The fridge and the fresh coffee and cafetière in the room was a bonus. Breakfast was plentiful. Although not luxurious this friendly guest house is great value for money, and we would definitely stay there again when visiting Canterbury …

the b&b is a lovely place to stay. The location is perfect too. Very close to the train station and just outside the town centre. The room is a comfortable size for a one night stay. Bathroom is quite small, but for a 4 foot 9 person like me it was fine but for my partner who is 6 foot, it was cramped for him. My only complaint is the rug that we had in our room, it is very slippery to stand on as a few times when i walked over it, it slid and moved and i nearly slipped over. The full english breakfast was a good portion and you could help yourself to continental breakfast too. Staff was very friendly too. Due to an old building, you could hear all your neighbours in other rooms, but i expected that so was not a big issue. Overall the stay was lovely.

The room itself was small but clean - micro toilet but a decent shower. The hotels apparently has nice rooms at the back leading to a garden but if you get the ground floor rooms onto the street, such as 11, don’t expect a quiet stay, I appreciate the listed building can’t have double glazing but the roller blind didn’t help muffle any noise. Every footstep, conversation and cars going past can be clearly heard. To add to the non quiet stay, the bedroom door leads onto the breakfast area so I was woken first by the dawn chorus, kids going to school and then the sound of cutlery on the plates! My advice is if you stay here, be prepared for a small room and make sure you are not on the ground floor at the front

Stayed 2 nights. No hot water for a shower after the first nights stay. Hair dryer not working. Sparks flew from the electrical socket plugging out the fan. Mattress topper on bed which was not in great condition. No juice left at breakfast time. Cornflakes definitely not fresh.

Very good B&b clean friendly and near to the city center and motor way. What makes it special is the nice garden where you van eat and drink your own food away from the busy town centre. We stayed two days before going back to the Netherlands free parking is 5 min walk away the hostes knows where but close otherwise parking is difficult in Canterbury

Hard working staff made my stay very enjoyable. Everything about my stay was great. Over-the-top customer service. I showed up early and, while I only wanted to drop off my bags and go play tourist, they insisted I wait in their garden as they cleaned my room. The TV in my room had access to Netflix

On arrival the guy who was supposed to be greeting customers was in the garden smoking and looked put out when I asked for assistance with collecting my room key. Room small, dust everywhere, broken lamp, wardrobe door falling off, very dirty carpets throughout the establishment not just our double room. Breakfast cold, poor selection, meats and cheeses left to go hard then brought out again the next day, chaos as not enough staff and again the guy was in the garden smoking whilst other staff were trying to serve as well as deal with arrivals and queries.l, rushed off their feet. Kitchen looked unkept and unhygienic. Cigarette ends all over the place in the garden too and food left out on the tables for the duration of our stay ( see pictures). Unfortunately I would not recommend.…
