Excellent stay — Tony very friendly on arrival. We were going to a concert at the cricket ground for which this was a brilliant location, a walk of about 30 minutes, we were given directions which were spot on. Short walk into the centre of Canterbury, would love to explore more if we had had the time. We stayed in the “Map” room on the top floor. Lovely room and en-suite shower was spotless. 10/10 for breakfast, we had the full English but vegetarian options available and toast & cereals as required. Parking available at the rear of the property. Very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend. Look forward to staying here again on our return to Canterbury. Made very welcome by Tony and Kerry. Thank you for your hospitality.
