Lovely apartment - right in the city centre, but not noisy at all. Huge shower. Fully equipped kitchen - everything you could need. Would definitely stay here again - and hosts are very communicative and helpful. Highly recommended.

Staff were wonderful as was the room and the food available in the restaurant.
Only disadvantage was the lack of car parking but that still wouldn’t put us off returning.

It was the first visit to Canterbury for my friend and myself . The Cathedral Lodge was so lovely. The staff were super helpful, the hotel was spotless, the breakfast was excellent. It was quite novel to be let i and out of the main gate by police but at least you felt secure. We also went on a punt trip up the river Stour. It was a beautiful sunny day and Luke , our punter, was informative and funny and very caring as i have mobility issues. We ate at several pubs and restaurants, especially...

Great hotel for those thinking of staying in Canterbury. Only 15 minutes walk to the city centre. Room was quiet, staff were very good. Ate in on all three evenings, and had some really nice food, even a carvery on one evening. Breakfast choices were also excellent.

The room 4 dates back centuries but has been well modernised. The air con unit was a real bonus. Small bathroom space but good shower. The hotel is well placed for access to the city (15 minutes walk) . Good value for money sadly breakfast was not offered but there is a van on site and many options in the city

The Dog was fabulous, the staff were all very friendly. Needed a drink as soon as I arrived so had a lovely glass of bubbles sitting by the fire, very civilized! The bedroom had such a sumptuous bed and very tasteful decor as had the whole pub. I would definitely return as long as the price stayed similar. Didn't eat there as they had a tasting menu but the local Indian was recommended which was fab.

All the information we needed about the hotel and services was either communicated directly or left in the room for us to read. Complimentary hot drinks, warm room and comfortable bed. Nicely equipped bathroom and a hairdryer which was really appreciated.
Breakfast was really good and so quick. Never received a full English breakfast as...

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at Castle House. Very pleased with our room and the B&B's location. Would definitely recommend it.i If I would have any gripe - and it's just a small one - it is with the breakfast menu options eg basic breakfast cereals on offer , one type of milk, And the cooked breakfast was average.

It is a beautiful, authentic old building in the city center. For this reason, it is naturally also narrow and winding. We had a wonderful stay and the staff, Mr. Sanjeewa, was very friendly, courteous, and always helpful. Thank you very much!
