This hotel in Canterbury is highly recommended. The hotel should have a history of more than 100 years. It is a family business. The house looks ancient from the outside, but it has been renovated inside. The lobby is quite modern. We booked a king-size room, which was very large. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was also large. The key point is that the hotel parking lot is free. If you drive to Canterbury, I highly recommend staying here. It takes about 20 minutes to park the car and walk to the center of Canterbury. Compared with international chains, we prefer these local hotels, which are less crowded, quieter, more comfortable, and more cost-effective.

Free parking is good, park in the front yard. The room is hard to find, dragging the suitcase up the elevator, stairs, and several doors. The family room I booked is a bit small and the facilities are a bit old. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to Canterbury town.

The hotel rooms are small and the sanitary facilities are poor. They are not consistent with the pictures. There is no golf course and it is not as good as the pictures. It is a family hotel-style hotel with poor management and poor breakfast. I do not recommend it when choosing.

It is an old brick-red building, and the exterior and interior match well. There are many landscapes and portraits hanging in the corridors, and the bathrooms are bright and new. Convenient parking, yard lawn 👍
