Pros: We were greeted warmly by the host and owner, Stuart, who explained where everything was and also provided lots of information about taxi services and local attractions. The lodge is in a beautiful setting, just 10 minutes from the city centre. The room was clean and comfortable and the power shower was amazing. Breakfast was substantial - full English, toast, cereals, fruit and plenty of tea and coffee. We will definitely book to stay here again.

Cons: Only that you need to take toiletries. Liquid soap was all that was there. And don’t believe the quoted taxi prices, same company used was £7.50 to Canterbury and £10.60 return

Pros: The hotel is very well located in the middle of town and easy to find. All the main sights are within walking distance and no need for tour guides. The place was clean and quiet, got some good rest. Ridiculously cheap entrance to main sights. Loved the whole old town feel and history of the place. Worth a visit even for just a day trip.

Pros: The hotel was charming! The room was large with big windows. The facility was very clean. The location was perfect - central to the attractions. The walk to Canterbury Cathedral was about 5 minutes and the train station about 10 minutes. The staff was very accommodating - we arrived early and were able to check into our room early as well. The staff allowed us to leave our bags after we checked out and were very kind to us. The breakfast was great and included in the price. We loved our stay here!

Cons: It was a bit of a pain that there is no reception or breakfast area in the building of Peregrine House. It's not a long walk to the Pilgrim's Hotel where everything else is - about 10 minutes to and from. Not ideal for people who like everything in one space, book the Pilgrim's instead.

4,6 Okay
Pros: The beds were comfortable, the shower was easy to use and the breakfast was lovely, with a very pleasant waitress, named Zoe.
Cons: The hotel is further than 5 minutes walk away, so, thank goodness it was not raining when we went for breakfast. The curtains could be thicker to block out more light. We could not keep the window open, so had to put a box of tissues in the window so that it did not close. We had several issues with our room which were not actually sorted out during our stay, although we had written down our issues and had reminded the receptionist every morning. For the last night, we were offered an alternative room, which seemed too much effort to move all our belongings for just one night. When i told a member of staff that our electrical issue had still not been mending on our last morning, i was informed that the electrician was on holiday. I am amassed that they do not have another electrician they could ask as a back up. We have stayed in much better, yet cheaper, establishments.

Pros: The guest house is in an extremely quiet and pretty location but the time of year meant that we could not take advantage of this! However it is convenient for Canterbury & surrounding areas.
Cons: The guest accomodation is in an addition to the main building, therefore the walls are rather thin and we were disturbed by other guests using their shower. There was also a lot of noise quite early in the morning (someone going to work?)
