Nice installations; it feels like a traditional Canterbury house. We stayed in the double bed room, and it was comfortable and clean. The restaurant is great, we had the ligth breakfast and the full english breakfast, the food was good and the prices were reasonable. The hotel is relatively close to the railway station, it takes about 10 minutes to walk there. There are no bus stations close to the hotel.

Went from a family room to a very pokey small room due to an error with the respective bookings. There is no lift so be prepared to carry your bags up 3 flights of stairs. Given we had large bags, this wasn’t ideal. Lovely staff, particularly in the restaurant. Location was okay. The restaurant is very busy, particularly on Sunday.

The man on the reception desk was not remotely friendly or welcoming. He barely looked up and there was absolutely no pleasantries. The look of distain was even tangible to my son whom notices very little. I myself am a superhost on airbnb so it throughly goes against the grain that we were treated with such indifference. I also ticked a box to include breakfast in my stay, however i was told i hadn't booked for breakfast. And no information was offered for me to change this. By this point, after a long drive from north Yorkshire, i just said ok. For a few pounds more id stay somewhere else.
