Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.
River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.
From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.
In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

Canterbury is an historic city, as such is easy to get around ancient streets, very intimate centre. For me the Lovely Cathedral is the jewel in the crown, and from the Hampton by Hilton Hotel is a few minutes walk, I could see the Spires from room windows.. This hotel has a rooftop restaurant and the views from there are spectacular, I went for a look.
As I travel alone I usually eat at M&S Cafes or similar, and if I need anything else take back sandwiches to hotel. I can recommend Canterbury for a visit, I got train from London St, Pancras to Canterbury West Station, hotel 10 mins walk or Taxi £7,00.

The city abounds with areas to discover...take the time, walk, it will be rewarding. We used local bus services to visit the local region...Deal, Sandwich, Dover and Folkstone...fabulous!
We discovered that Good Friday was the best day to see the Cathedral because litugically it is an empty space that day...but it was being prepared for BBC broadcasts and hence was fully open. The surrounds are worth some time also.

The Cathedral is awesome.
The Cathedral is awesome. Plenty of places to eat and drink....the Cafe du Soleil stood out the food was very good and the staff where friendly & professional. We loved walking around Canterbury, lots of green spaces, side roads that led you on, our stay was too short so we didn't find anywhere that we would avoid.....we'll just have to go back!

Enjoyed the historic buildings and the lovely cricket ground which was the reason for our visit.
We ate at a variety of places - good pub (The Two Sawyers), a turkish restaurant A la Turka and the Weavers.
Canterbury was compact and good to walk around.
Only have to avoid the numerous food delivery cycles

Canterbury is one of those rare British cities that has...
Canterbury is one of those rare British cities that has retained its character as it somehow escaped being wrecked by appalling postwar planning decisions. The relatively few modern buildings, like the Marlowe Theatre, are of high quality, at least from the outside. It's a comfortable size to stroll around (and flat) plus it has the two arms of the river to add interest and the opportunity to punt or take a boat tour. Hard to say whether there are more pubs or churches - there are lots of both, so if you don't want to pay for entry to the cathedral there are other historic buildings to see. Didn't bother with the shopping centre so can't pass judgement on its value as a place for shopping - there'll be the usual boring 'high street' chains, no doubt; I did notice a few independent shops in the High Street as well. The tea shops we came across are insanely expensive so are probably best avoided if you're on a budget. We ate at The Old Weaver's House and had a superb meal - their pies are worth a trip to Canterbury alone! The Beaney House museum etc looks interesting and is free - we just explored the front room which has some fine 19th century paintings. Probably worth a more detailed investigation on another visit.

Canterbury Cathedral was beautiful they was lot of facts about Medieval England. I went Westgate Garden 🪴the flower was stunning to look at. It was peaceful look at the scenery
Canterbury Cathedral had old Architecture and old ruins to stunning artifact of such beauty.
The Lodge is positioned in the grounds of the Cathedral, which is perfect for looking around the centre of Canterbury.
Plus, you have free access to the Cathedral itself, Staff are welcoming and helpful and the rooms are excellent with a view of the Cathedral from your bedroom bay window. I would reccomend not missing out on the breakfast, which is cooked to order and the serving staff look after you very well.
Overall, its a bit more pricey than the usual well known hotels, but, the overall experience is well worth the price.
Location is idyllic near the medieval centre of Canterbury and flanked by plenty greenery lawns and mature trees and generous parking. The main core of the hotel has fine gothic Abbey architectural characterful features.The classic traditional bedrooms are warm, comfortable fresh and bright, with opening windows in many, good for sleep quality. However the hotel is being refurbished and I fear the viridian, wood panel theme while attractive in the modern foyer parts of the hotel fails aesthetically in the bar areas.
Breakfast is better than I expected and the hotel allows dogs to be with us in the restaurant. Everyone is super friendly, they welcome dogs very much. There is a huge free-run area behind the hotel for dogs and chill. The parking area is in front of the hotel, we feel very safe parking there. It is just 10 mins walk to the city centre, and a lot of supermarkets nearby. I highly recommend the EBURY hotel and would love to stay again.
All the staff were great, really friendly & helpful.
The room was clean and tidy but we felt that it catered more for short stays as hanging space was limited. The bathroom, although clean, lacked shelf space. Parking at hotel was no problem as it was right next to a park and ride with easy access to Canterbury town centre. The restaurant was comfortable with a varied menu. The meals we had were well presented & delicious.
The staff have good hospitality, the personal room was perfect, clean and stocked with two biscuits and ingredients for tea, a closet with a safe is provided, two towels for the shower, bed sheets are clean and tucked in, breakfast was provided in abundance, the hotel is about a six minute walk from Canterbury Cathedral, all for a price at roughly £70, cheaper than many other hotels.
Breakfast was hearty to start the day, Dinner was very good with good prices, room was very clean and roomy, and plenty of parking with secure lighting. Great location to accomplish several short day trips in the area like seeing the Canterbury Cathedral, a restored Viking ship near Ramsgate. and a medieval castle like Dover Castle.
This is a comfortable cabin located about halfway between Canterbury and Ramsgate. After a couple of weeks staying in hotels and B&Bs this was a nice change to have a place with bedrooms separate from the living area. It was well equipped with cooking equipment and the washing machine in the cabin was a bonus.
This was one of the best stays we have ever had in Canterbury a perfect short break after the Christmas rush, the room was of a high quality, very comfortable king size bed very warm and comfortable room ,
The staff are very polite and helpful an ideal location to stay in the city,
10 out of 10 for service
Pub staff was incredibly friendly and professional. The dinner menu was quite tasty and they were able to fit me in without a booking. Also the size of the tub in the room was delightful; I'm quite tall and I could actually fit into it which is rare in hotels.
The Hugo hotel is a great hidden gem in the heart of Canterbury , really clean , very comfortable bed and a great shower a well thought out room, even though it's right it the town centre it was very quiet. we would definitely recommend thanks
I can’t say enough good things about Canterbury Cathedral Lodge. It was wonderful from beginning to end. Staying on the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral is just a bonus. This will definitely be my goto place, next time I come to Canterbury.
Excellent location.
We stayed in the Sun room and it had double exposure so really sunny.
Hotel dates back from 1480. 350 meters from the Canterbury Cathedral. Good Tapas restaurant below us.
Right in the middle of historical Canterbury within walking distance of all the main sights. Quiet street (even during freshers’ week) and smooth check in process at the Pilgrims Hotel.
Great location in centre of Canterbury. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast buffet. Hotel is relatively recently built - rooms were clean and comfortable
The Falstaff Hotel is a great place to stay in Canterbury. Has a fantastic bar with an extensive list of cocktails. A sumptuous breakfast in the morning …
