Great location. Good breakfast.
Parking is a bit hit and miss. Best to park at Canterbury West Station.

Very steep narrow stairs and the shower was tricky to use and had our heads in the window to stand up. Better for short people maybe recommend for use by 5ft tall adults.

The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was very good. It’s very well located.
The wash basin in the bathroom was very small.
