Really liked this hotel. Nice atmosphere. The only downfall that we had was the large group of noisy Americans were there during dinner making it difficult to have a conversation...of course not the fault of the hotel. :-)
We have family in Whitstable a tiny town with very limited hotel options so we usually end up staying in Canterbury nearby. This hotel was a very pleasant surprise and a good step above the average. It is set in fabulous grounds almost in the center of the city. I was unable to find much about the history but it feels like an old country home or perhaps an old school which has been sympathetically added to over the years. The staff were splendid and the rooms were both surprisingly roomy and modern. It does suffer from the traditional British plague of a fire door every 50 feet....but that's the fault of the fire code not the hotel. It has a warm old world feel with a real English Breakfast included. The bar is comfortable even tho there was a wedding going on while we stayed the rooms were quiet. With so many bland corporate hotels out there it was marvelous to find history and comfort at a reasonable price.
Lovely hotel on the outskirts of town. You can walk to town center. the room was larger than most. The bathroom was nice. Breakfast was included in my price and was good. Décor in lobby is beautiful and traditional. We have to commend Fern at the front desk for being so nice and helpful.
The hotel is very charming -- feels like you go back in time. Good location and perfect when the reason for your visit is related to your desire to experience a medieval town.
