We stayed one night whilst in a short break to visit Canterbury. We felt as if nothing was too much trouble and Joe was very helpful allowing us to leave our car for a few hours on the day of departure. The guest house is a short walk from the town past the ruined castle which is free to walk... More

Another belated review dating from summer 2012. Joe is a marvellous host who takes care to anticipate his guests' every need. An end of terrace period house on a rather dreary road out of the city, Wincheap makes up for this with a riot of flowers covering the facade. Our room at the back (view of the gasholder!) was small,... More

Very Late review. I stayed here a few months ago and would advise anyone to do the same. You are treated with the upmost respect. Rooms are beautiful and clean. Near to the town. The owner called me a taxi and it arrived in under 30 seconds, yes 30 seconds. Probably due to the fact that Cab Co Taxis are... More

This is our second stay now, and we can only reiterate what other reviewers have said - quiet, clean, comfortable, phenomenal breakfasts (if you want baked beans just ask!) and Joe and the team are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, happy to make suggestions and advise, without being overbearing. We'll be visiting Canterbury again, just so we can have a relaxing... More

It was my first experience of staying in a guesthouse rather than a 'hotel' and it was perfect! A very friendly welcome by the owner, flexible check-in time, large clean rooms, only a 10min walk to the city centre, reasonably priced. Even though it is situated on a reasonably busy road, once you are inside, you can't hear the traffic.... More

We stayed there from 16th. to 18th of June 2012. We had a nice and good room, slept well and had a perfect englisch brekafast, prepared by Joe. In the morning (breakfasttime) he was supported by a lovely lady from the countryside of Canterbury. They both could tell where to go and whart to see. If you are afraid of... More

Very courteous and polite hosts who were keen to help at all times. Lovely clean, spacious rooms with hot running showers and comfortable beds. Close to town and lots of local information readily available along with an excellent choice of sweeties! Breakfast was good with a wide selection of fuits, yogurts, pastries and cereals followed by a full English. My... More

Joe and Val were great hosts, the guesthouse is well located to walk into Canterbury and has private parking. the rooms are nicely furnished although as I'm a light sleeper and we had a room at the front of the house the street noise kept me up a bit. The breakfast was excellent and the local information was great. All... More

We chose the Wincheap for its location, reasonable cost and good breakfast, and it did not disappoint! We felt immediately comfortable--the rooms were well appointed and very clean. But breakfast was the highlight; it was easily the best “full English” we had over our entire 2+ week vacation in the UK! Joe, the owner, was helpful providing directions, travel advice,... More

We just stayed one night in this bed and breakfast. We had a Twin bed room "en suite" (as english people say for "with bathroom") on the back on the house that was quiet though small. The Breakfast was full english and good. There is a Parking at the rear of the house. The City is within 5-10 min walk.... More
