Great location for walking on Canterbury with plenty of free parking on offer. Maybe by a big roundabout, but you didn’t hear the traffic. Room was clean and tidy and offered ample room. The person who booked us in at the front desk was friendly and informative. Breakfast offering was wide and varied. Only issue was dinner was average at best, raw gammon from the carvery on plate was brought up with the server although she just informed the kitchen and then came back saying “they say it was cooked” and that was it, no apology. The only let down of our stay.

Perfect for eurotunnel

Perfectly located for an overnight on the Euro Tunnel. Breakfast was delicious. Buffet style or cooked. Large carpark. I had a ground floor room- minimal noise at night. (Although the bathroom door needs an oil!) good shower for my 1.8m but if you’re taller then it’s a little low! Hard water so needed to unclog a few of the jets in the shower head but good pressure and temperature. Beds comfortable enough. Restaurant attached really nice for evening meals. Bar was lovely too.
