Accommodation in Canterbury

Built in the Georgian period, our old girl has some history. In days gone past, she's been a lavender farm and a small hotel for railway passengers travelling to Kent. Now, she's an award-winning riverside inn with six beautiful en-suite rooms on the 2nd floor and a large, cosy pub on the ground floor. She's also the only pub in Kent that offers riverboat trips. Three of our rooms face onto the Great River Stour, two have a riverside balcony and the remaining three present a view of the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, one of the most protected wetlands in the UK and the world. We offer a personal service that is homely, honest and friendly. If you're searching for a uber-luxury stay, we're not it. If however you're looking for a country escape, a home away from home, then you've found us. We pride ourselves in being the place you can make your own, walk around in socks, sit by the fire with your morning paper and a coffee. Help us feed the chickens, ducks and pigs in the morning if you'd like or go hunting for eggs with the kids; we have some great family rooms in our hotel. You can also head across the road for a walk in the reserve, go for a relaxing boat trip (open from March to September), explore Canterbury's historical buildings or spend an afternoon canoeing or kayaking along the River Stour. If you fancy a spot of shopping, there's also Ashford designer outlet!
