It was simplistic and beautiful and that big window beside the bed was so romantic, waking up and just looking straight out to the wildlife and countryside. You couldn't ask for more.

    Came here for an exam, and it was a cozy place to stay at. The staff there were all kind and helpful! They helped me with printing important document even at 7am. Special thanks to the night lodger who even accompanied me halfway to the test centre! Hope I'd come again and explore more about Canterbury itself!

    Exceeded our expectations. The lovely cottage was a surprise, we just expected a shared room within the hotel. Warm, cosy, kitchen was a bonus, both bedrooms were quiet and beds comfy, the living room had a working TV and the bathroom was standard. Parking wasn't an issue either. We got a taxi into Canterbury but it was only a 15 minute walk back to the hotel at night.
