Great weekend in Canterbury

Super friendly hosts, great breakfast, comfy bed and room was great temperature. Everything was great except the shower is very very very small. We're slim so we managed but if you aren't, I fear you will struggle to even get into it, let alone be able to stand back up if heaven forbid you drop something! I banged elbows against the doors frequently, and there is no shelf to put anything on in there so it's just an all around awkward experience. On the plus side, the water pressure and temperature control were perfect. We'd stay there again but probably request a room with a different shower.

St. Stephens Guest House.

My daughter and l had a lovely stay. Sandra and Dave were very friendly and helped us with everything we requested. The room was clean and cosy. The breakfast was tasty and there was a good choice. We would definitely use this B&B again.
