I enjoyed my stay in The Coach House, it was comfortable, clean and characterful. Check in and out was done without any face to face interaction, but worked well. I would stay again.

Good location and a nice property. Three weird things: one the toilet was out of the room and upstairs, two the shower was directly in the room which is very weird and uncomfortable and three there were no staff on site at all which was odd. Otherwise good facilities and a comfy bed.

I needed city centre accommodation for 1 night at short notice for a reasonable price and The Coach House ticked multiple boxes for me. I was aware in advance of the limited facilities that are available in the hotel, so I was prepared to book on that premise. It turned out as I had expected, so I was happy with this during my stay. The hotel is in a safe area of the city centre, within easy walking distance of the bus station and both train stations. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, and a "Tesco Express" within 100 metres of the hotel. WiFi is available in the hotel, although I didn't use it as I had sufficient data allowance.....and surprisingly 4G connection.....which has historically been problematic in the city centre. As for my room, the bed was comfortable and there was sufficient space around it for my luggage. The shower cubicle was small, but the shower was ideal and I felt refreshed after use. The shared toilet is located on the 1st floor landing. To conclude, if you have a limited budget and aren't looking for luxurious accommodation then this hotel is well worth a visit 👍😉

Very close to town centre (1min walk) Room very good but a bit of confusion whether our toilet/bathroom was ours only (it was, but not clear). Very steep stairs up to room. Overall very please with stay and would return

Lovely place with kind helpful staff who looked out for our family. Breakfast wasn't available, but the manager gave us some good tips, and there's plenty of great food options throughout the city. My stepson loved it, especially the big bathroom linked to the family room we used. And our dog felt at home, so was very relaxed. Its a perfect location for access to the centre, but keep in mind if you're a light-sleeper during a weekend as it can get noisy outside late at night.

We had a fabulous stay at the Coach House in their comfortably large family room, where our dog was also welcome. We were hugely grateful they were able to accommodate us after the dreadful VRBO let us down badly (the place we'd booked turned out to be occupied by another guest and the landlord claimed it had been taken off VRBO several months earlier). When we found out at 7.30pm that there was no actual booking available and had to find an alternative ourselves, the Coach House could not have been more friendly or helpful. We were very appreciative and would stay there again if visiting Canterbury. We will certainly NEVER book anything again with the truly terrible VRBO who couldn't have been more useless. The only slight niggle was that the bathroom wasn't en suite, but across the landing outside the bedroom door. But it didn't appear to be used by anyone else, so not a major problem.

Nice small hotel, although private but still separate bathroom looks weird, plus breakfast is a bit overpriced for whatever they offer (freshly baked croissants are truly amazing though)

Was a great place to stay in Canterbury. Short walk from everywhere and very easy to get in and out of. The family room, 1 king and 2 twins, was large and easy for our family of 4 to manage. Parking was a great addition.

Great location, close to the town and train station. No noise in the night from bars. Clean, spacious room. Iron available on request.
