Canterbury was the first night of our 16 day tour of Europe. We only stayed for one night and left after breakfast due to catching the Eurotunnel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. As soon as we arrived we were shown to a very quant, clean room, although a little small as my husband is 6' 2'' and had... More

We enjoyed our stay here whilst at a wedding - we emailed in advance asking if we could check-in early and this wasn't a problem at all, which we were very grateful for. Everyone we came into contact with was friendly and pleasant. We particularly liked the breakfast order system - so much available, very tasty, and I was very... More

Planned for a stay en route to the ferry at Dover. Due to traffic, etc we were going to be late for the 9 pm meal deadline. I phoned ahead and was told " no problem, we can rustle up something" In fact we arrived at 9.30 and the full menu was available; fantastic! It's a proper old-fashioned, and very... More

I normally stay in hotel chains as I know what to expect. However I had to get a hotel within driving distance of Dover and was not able to book in the normal chain hotel. Found the Kings Arms and thought I would give it a go. Fantastic experience, you can feel the history of the place, room quiet, clean... More

The pub is a lovely old traditional pub and for the price was very good value. The breakfast was really lovely and being vegetarian was well catered for with veg sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, toast etc. I was in room 1 at the back and couldn't hear any road noise or noise from the bar. The downside for me was... More

This was a great find!! This is a very old English Inn/Pub. My room, #1, was small but so charming and lots of personalty. Wood beams, little window looking out over the roof, an old skeleton key to open the door. The en-suite WC/restroom was small but very clean and was just fine for me. My mattress and pillows were...

Loved the true and proper essence of the place. The Bar is full of locals and real cask ale is the theme. The place is friendly, food is very reasonable and perfectly acceptable. The rooms are average but the real charm of the place is the History. There’s not many places in the world where you can stay in a... More
