"We stopped here for a Spitfires game for our young fella and to be honest wasn’t expecting much - but we were incredibly pleasantly surprised!! This place is exceptional, easy to find, easy to access and staff instructions were friendly and easy to follow. This is a great stay! "
"The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was in need of some refurbishment and the shower was poor. However, Howfield Manor is a beautiful building and even in December the grounds were lovely. I would like to stay there again. "

While The King's Mile might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Canterbury Cathedral and Canterbury Roman Museum.
Explore the great outdoors at Westgate Gardens, a lovely green space in Canterbury. Make time to visit the area's stunning cathedral, or simply enjoy its lively bars.
Lively and sociable on a Saturday night. Lots of sites to see and things to do. Missed out on a guided tour on a punt down the Stour due to high water levels and strong current following lots of rain, which was a shame, but we'll try next time.

Such a friendly and diverse city. Vibrant and fun and a really lovely atmosphere. Bustling city centre and great High St, with hardly any empty shops. Plenty to do. Very clean and safe to walk around but sad to see so many rough sleepers

Been a very long time since I was last here. Canterbury is a great small city. Small independent shops, quirky, and it also has main high street shops. Great range of places to eat. Lots to see and a trip to nearby Whitstable is a must.

Canterbury is a truly wonderful city. There is so much to see and to do. The Cathedral is breathtaking as are Westgate gardens and the river. There are fabulous restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops and there is history everywhere.

Canterbury is a beautiful, pedestrianised city. Very safe, lots of young people/mostly students. It's quite touristy, with nice pubs, restaurants and two railway stations. Overall, a good experience.

THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL ! The Cathedral is spectacular and the medieval architecture of the city is enchanting.
"Couldn't fault the staff who went above and beyond our requirements. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent ground floor accessible room.
First class breakfast included. Evening happy hour was appreciated and enjoyed.
Hotel itself is attractive and welcoming."
"Excellent stay at the Maiden’s Chambers. Staff were super welcoming and helpful. Check-in and check-out were easy, and it was just a short walk into the city center. Definitely recommend. "
"I am a regular solo traveller to Canterbury and couldn't get a room at my regular B&B so i decided to try the Cathedral Gate Hotel as I often thought it looked like an interesting place to stay.
I received a warm welcome on arrival and shown to my room which had a view to the bustling market square. My room was clean and comfortable. Canterbury has a lively, noisy nightlife which is to be expected in a busy city centre and earplugs are provided for those who require them!
The continental breakfast was delicious and the croissants served straight from the oven were perfect.
I loved the building which is around 700 years old with its sloping floors and rabbit warren like corridors!
I am looking forward to my next visit to Canterbury and will definitely be booking into the Cathedral Gate, I had a great stay and it is just a 10 minute walk from the train station!"
