7. NEW Cossington House - City Centre 3 Bedroom Home

Kent

"The location of the house was very on enient for visiting Canterbury and the area. The host was very responsive to our questions and concerns. The kitchen has an excellent stove and oven but the accompanying cooking supplies are modest and in need of updating. There were very few pots and pans and several of them were quite dirty and needed cleaning prior to using. Additionally the cooking utensils were also bare minimum other than the knives which actually all need sharpening. The washer and...

Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

The Bat and Ball

10/10 Excellent

"We booked The Bat and Ball for just 1 night as we were attending a wedding nearby. It was perfect for what we needed. Communication was great and the room was a really good size with an impressive bathroom. Fans had been put into our room and left on to ensure it was nice and cool when we arrived. The only downside was it is on a busy road so be prepared for a lot of road noise in the morning."

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. The roads near the hotel were a tad bit confusing and narrow for drivers but we found the hotel car park eventually. Otherwise great location in the centre of town and close to restaurants and the Westgate Gardens. Hotel staff were friendly and make recommendations on places to visit."

Keynes College - University Of Kent

8/10 Good

"Had a really good stay at Keynes college and I think the price reflects the downsides . My room was far better than I was expecting so a good start . The shower and facilities offered in the bathroom with gel etc was a good touch . It’s 1.5 miles from central Canterbury which isn’t a problem if you’re able bodied and a bus leaves outside on the main road every 20 mins or so . The only downside was a cob web in the ceiling corner and a very average buffet breakfast which had been kept warm too long and dried out , but I considered the breakfast a bonus for the overall inclusive price . Still edible dont get me wrong but not the best . One last detail was the mattress which could have had a softer feel to it . But for the money? Worth every penny"

Greyfriars Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Sanjeewa was very accommodating and friendly a wonderful host. This is a very basic hotel but you cannot fault it, clean and has everything you need, a great option for an affordable city break. Breakfast was a bonus and had a good little selection. The location is fantastic!!!!! Already booked again 👍"

Cathedral Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel’s location right next to the entrance to the Canterbury Cathedral is unbelievably convenient. The hotel is beautifully decorated and maintained. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to help and make your stay an unforgettable experience! Rob, the owner personally offers you the delicious breakfast that you can enjoy while having the most beautiful view to the bustling main street. Do not hesitate to book your stay at Cathedral Gate"
