Stayed here for 2 nights. The building is fantastic, very well maintained and apparently left in its original status preserving some old elements. Although seeming a bit overworked and stressed during our stay, the staff was very friendly and courteous. The English breakfast is complete and well prepared, we didn't dine in the restaurant so cannot judge on the rest... More

We started by having had our wonderful wedding here at Howfield Manor back in April 2011. From the outset of our plans to the morning after the wedding our requests were thoroughly catered for. "Eva" was particularly helpful and offered lots of support and guidance in preparation for our wedding. She and her staff were always on hand to assist... More

Just stayed a night here and was very impressed. Booked at the last minute, had a superior double room, was really clean, very comfy bed. The hotel is very old in places - so expect creaky floorboards etc, all adds to the charm in a way. It's a lovely building, full of nooks and crannies. Very pretty little garden too.... More

As it was 45 years since my last visit things had changed somewhat. The staff in the hotel we extremely helpful with bus times and directions. We were... More

We had the opportunity for a two night stay at the end of March, and decided to visit Canterbury as we had not been to the area before. The hotel was selected from its online details. On arrival, we were pleased with its lovely grounds and air of quality and 'specialness'. The staff were smart and professional in appearance and... More

We always stay at 4 or 5 star hotels and I must admit, we were certainly very surprised at the level of service we recieved and the quality of the food. If we lived locally, we would certianly eat regularly at the 1811 restaurant - the food was excellent, again, as was the service. The decor was a bit tired... More
