Best Hotels in Thanington Without

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!

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 average experience. The bathroom condition was not very good and the cleanliness. See the attached pictures. No WiFi service. Not value for the money. Amenities were not very good. On average staff were helpful apart from some of them.

On the same day, because the car was broken, I could only ask the local taxi phone by the telephone hotel. The front desk uncle patiently called me, because the accent problem has been confirmed for a long time. On the night of the hotel, the hotel uncle and other waiters are very nice. (The hotel waiters are all Indian and the guests are mostly Indian) I have stayed at 2 hotels near Canterbury, and the chain economy hotel is good. Breakfast buffet, simple and convenient. It is best to book a lot cheaper in advance, and it will be more expensive on the same day. The room was quite tight during the school season in mid-September.

My family arrived today the hotel around the email check in time. There was no queue and we were served right away. The staff were friendly and fun to chat with. We were headed up to our room in no time with all the info we needed for the perfect stay. Parking is free as is the pool. The pool has adult and kids hours so check ahead of time so if younfancy an adult free time ots available. Pool area had steam and sauna along with ice, pool and heated lounge chairs x2. The rooms were very clean and quiet. We had a lovely stay and plan to visit again.

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.

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!

Mum and I stayed here the night before our journey with the Eurotunnel. (Really close to the tunnel) Check in was easy and all the staff members we came across were friendly. The rooms were clean and the beds were huge! Pretty sure they were king size beds! And also, super comfy beds. We were also a couple of doors away from each other which was really good. The breakfast was good, not a huge selection but done very well. It was included in the price of the room. Would happily stay here again before another trip with the Eurotunnel.

A small hotel with British characteristics. The rooms are not big. The key is that the rooms in the UK are small. There are many small country-style hotels in the UK. They are small and warm. I like this style very much. The restaurant on the first floor has very good business. The rooms are very clean, the heating was given early, and the breakfast was excellent. The disadvantage of this hotel is poor soundproofing. A few steps from the door is the most beautiful garden westgate gardens written on the guide. The cathedral is also very close and the price is moderate. This is a good choice for personal travel
