Less than 3 miles from the historic centre of Canterbury, this luxury B&B enjoys a rural setting within its own oak woodland. It offers en suite rooms with free Wi-Fi and plenty of off-road parking for all guests.

Exceptional. The location worked well for me - a c. 10 quid taxi ride into Canterbury - had plenty of parking room. There was a forest to explore and pigs to see. It was really beautiful and peaceful! The host was wonderful and welcoming and made a fantastic full English breakfast to order in the morning (plus, there was cereal, etc.). The room was comfortable and modern and everything worked like it should! Would highly recommend.

Usually I am looking for that one point that´s not perfect - but this time I couldn´t find. Everything was nearly perfect, the location, the helpful hosts, the all-in-the-house-equipment (I never could imagine how many things can be stored and not beeing visible - well planned and designed). Hope that all other users will love it too and keep it clean and outstanding. We travelled with child and dog and all found their place.
