“This is a gem in Canterbury: recently updated rooms blend comfort with style, and the location makes it easy to explore nearby attractions like Folkestone Harbour. I especially appreciate the blend of private and shared spaces, including a communal kitchen and garden-ideal for both short stays and longer getaways. The pub next door is a real draw, offering great food and a lively atmosphere.”
