Great service and spacious rooms! But this isn’t a hotel, it is a bed and breakfast with a pool. There is no where to get food or chill out and parking is very limited.

It's a small old kind of hotel, let's start with the negatives - small parking inside the hotel - rooms are a bit oldish - Aircon leaking in my room Now the positives - very affordable - it's clean - breakfast is very decent if not great for a little hotel - swimming pool is such a nice bonus - staff are all nice and welcoming (which is rare nowadays) If I have to come back to Canterbury, I would probably rebook this hotel.
