FAQs about hotels in Canterbury

Heavenly Heritage and Literary Legend

Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.

River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.

From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.

In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

We went for a long weekend - primarily to see the Catherdral. The Catherdral was stunning. We even went to the Sunday morning service, which was genuinely interesting to see. The whole building and surrounding estate was really worth the visit. The part of the city around the Catherdral was also lovely. Lots of indepdendent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Obviosuly some of it caters to the toursit trade, but overall it was really nice. We found a lovely vegetarian cafe, The Veg Box, and had a fantastic Italian meal on the evening. We also went to see a film at the Curzon at what looke dlike a brand new entertainment area. The Riverside, just at the northern end of the centre. Lots of history to learn about and a nice compact city centre. Rest of the weekend utilised our Nationa Trust membership at a couple of nearby places.

Canterbury is a pretty city with a rich history and plenty to do and see. Walking around the old streets and the canal is a very pleasant way to spend the day. There are many fantastic green spaces such as Westgate Park and you can enjoy punting on the canal. There are many great places to eat and drink and attractions like Canterbury Cathedral and the Roman Museum. It is well served by two train stations and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. You definitely need more than one day there!

Great city will lots of history , culture and vitality. Lovely walks along the Stour. Are at The Millers Arms and Pinocchios, both great mid-range ( Millers a pub and Pinocchios an Italian restaurant. However, there are upper bracket and lower bracket restaurants to choose from (Millers Arms was Dog friendly, Pinocchios wasn’t)

A walkable town just a couple hours outside of London with historic middle ages architecture mixed with modern buildings. Train rides were pleasant straight to and from King's Cross in London, so we spent a day in the West End seeing shows. Locals were very friendly and accommodating.

At every step you are looking at history, the centre of the city is full of ancient buildings and tourists and students from all over the world. There are lots of lovely restaurants- we ate at an Arabian place one evening. The cathedral is perfect, one of our reasons to visit was for my partner to visit the archives. I went to Mass and visited the Hear Us! graffiti exhibition- quite challenging. The cobbles are also challenging for the less mobile, but it's worth it

Loads of places to eat.

Loads of places to eat. A lovely medieval feel about the place. So many lovely old buildings. Too many very large groups of (schooĺl/kind-of-supervised) kids. The massive centre is mainly cobbled narrow streets with no cars! The cathedral is wondrous. We ate at Pho Canterbury - Vietnamese, The Olive Grove - Mediterranean, Posillipo - Italian. Would return to any of them. All first class.

Location is perfect for a visit to Canterbury. Staff is friendly and helpfull. Free parking available on hotelsite and 10 min. walk to citycentre. Beds were good and bathroom fully renewed and clean. Although the restaurant was closed due to refurbishment, they still serve dinner in the bar area. Food was very tastefull. Communication upfront arrival was good and they mention the refurbishment works going on. But as a guest we didn't hear anything (summerholliday)
