Lovely friendly Guest house

We were pleasantly greeted and explained where everything was there was a booklet in our room with any additional information we may need the room was immaculate it was so much cheaper so than a local hotel and apart from the the room being slightly smaller everything else was much nicer than a general hotel, I would highly recommend a visit.

Great weekend in Canterbury

Super friendly hosts, great breakfast, comfy bed and room was great temperature. Everything was great except the shower is very very very small. We're slim so we managed but if you aren't, I fear you will struggle to even get into it, let alone be able to stand back up if heaven forbid you drop something! I banged elbows against the doors frequently, and there is no shelf to put anything on in there so it's just an all around awkward experience. On the plus side, the water pressure and temperature control were perfect. We'd stay there again but probably request a room with a different shower.

It's wonderful as was the welcome and assistance we were given with transportation. It's a beautifully maintained large 1850s home transformed into a top notch Inn.
