The perfect getaway...

Situated just 10 minutes outside the historic City of Canterbury and surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside walks Kent has to offer, there really is a wealth of options to keep you entertained during your stay, whether you are on a romantic break, business or simply as a stopover en route to the continent.

A time to relax...

Our four beautifully furnished guest rooms have been designed with comfort in mind, each named after a favourite Kentish apple variety and made to feel like a real home from home for all of our guests, complete with DAB radios, Flat Screen TVs and spacious King Size beds!

Begin your day the right way...

A complimentary Duke William breakfast is included in your room booking—big, British and beautifully cooked or lighter, but still as tasty, whichever takes your fancy. Served downstairs from 9am, or order a hamper to your room if you need to leave earlier.
