Hotels near Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury

The environment is good, at first glance, there is the feeling of Downton Manor. The attitude of the younger brother at the front desk is good, there is no elevator, and the big box is a little hard. Booked the cheapest standard room, outdated facilities, sanitation. The restaurant environment is ok, the taste is very general, and there are fewer people eating dinner. Breakfast is a traditional English breakfast, waiting for a long time, feeling forgotten, the restaurant is a young waitress serving poorly. Breakfast tableware is not clean. Surrounded by golf courses, the environment is good, some residents around the leisure play, it is estimated that the consumption is not high.

Hotel was in a fantastic location, clean, modern and staff were extremely friendly. What sadly let it down was the awful mattress in the room. It was springy, lumpy, noisy and appeared to be sinking. Was extremely uncomfortable and me and my partner found it very difficult to sleep. Woke up with aches and stiffness every morning. The cooked breakfast also wasn’t great, although plenty of choice on the continental option. Such a shame for the bad experiences we had as the hotel was otherwise pleasant.

Overall our stay was pleasant. We specifically asked for a quiet room which the staff kindly organised. The food was ok but lacking in variety for the continental breakfast( they only had melon and pineapple out of which the melon was not ripe so I couldn’t eat it). I would have given more stars but there are some major improvements they need to do to justify the £ we paid for 2 nights. Our shower door was broken. One of us had to shower whilst the other held the door 😂. The shower head is probably one of the worst I have ever had to use. It’s so high up that it’s inevitable to get your hair completely soaked. And lastly, before our departure we had 2 hours to kill, during which we wanted to sit and play a game in the hotel facilities, that we rightly paid to use. This wasn’t possible due to how many bookings they had, the hotel was packed downstairs. We were told it would be ok to sit at a particular table. We started our game and then we got moved due to a booking. Fair enough we moved to a different table and set up our game again. Our drink came really late and we were asked 7 times if we wanted a drink, basically ushering us to either order or leave so they can free the table, even though we had ordered a drink! They also added service charge for this drink!

Lovely mini break - top quality service all round. Would highly recommend!

Our family of four spent 3 nights in 2 rooms at the Howfield....and had a great time. The hotel is a few mins drive from Canterbury, off a main road, in lovely grounds with plenty of free parking. Very quiet, you could be in the middle of nowhere. The rooms are large, well equipped and comfortable. They were with their faults but it didn't detract from the stay. In one room, the mattress was very firm which isn't particularly to our liking. In the other room, there was a small leak in the bathroom. In both rooms, the show was temperamental in terms of power. As with so many places during COVID-19, there were only a few staff. The leak wasn't dealt with during our stay but we were informed it was on the list for the handyman the day we left. It didn't detract from our stay... The staff are friendly and accommodating. None of usual indifference that is so often present in hotels these days. The food was EXCELLENT. We had dinner on the first night and it was delicious. Limited options but something for everyone. The breakfast is made to order, plentiful and again, delicious. The venue felt very secure with non obtrusive COVID-19 measures in place. We would have no hesitation staying at Howfield again. They deserve to do well and if they invested just a tiny bit more, the place would be amazing. Thank you for a great weekend! We will be back!

Located in the city center and convenient transportation.

We stayed for a midweek break and could not fault anything. Perfect location for getting out and about and a pleasant 10 minute walk into canterbury. Service was impeccable and everyone was very polite, accommodation and food good value for money and would recommend to family and friends. I agree with a recent review on one disappointment with the hotel that despite being in Canterbury I expected to see wildebeest running across the plain !!!!!!

The hotel is very good. In downtown Canterbury, there is a parking lot for free parking, the surrounding environment is good, and the shape of the small house is also very distinctive. The rooms are clean and have special features than the average economy hotel. The price is slightly more expensive. Breakfast on the first floor restaurant, English breakfast.

Well, the house is very good, the room is very clean and very good, overall, the full score. Breakfast is not bad.
