“Beautiful rooms, great value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2010

person found this review helpful

I stayed at Bluebells for two nights every week for 5 months due to a work placement. It is a really fantastic place, and great value for money. I stayed in all three rooms which are all beautifully decorated - the bathrooms are all lovely too. Michelle is a fantastic host and made great efforts to make sure that my stay was always as comfortable as possible. Bluebells is about a ten minute walk into Canterbury. I would highly reccomend this place and I hope to stay again in the future sometime.

“Biggest and best room in the UK”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

We were given a warm, friendly and genuine welcome from Michelle to Bluebells and it just got better.

We had the Orchid Room on the top floor, being a fit 62 the stairs were no problem.
Our bedroom by English standards has HUGE. Our ensuite was as a big as a bedroom we stayed at in Colchester. The furnishings are first class, the bed very comfortable and the shower was fantastic. Everything was spotless. The wi-fi signal was not strong enough for a connection in the room, which was disappointing but it did work well on the stairs one flight down and in the dining room. The breakfast was first class and plentiful.

As we wroten in the guest book, "The second best B&B in England, only because we haven't found number 1."

Highly recommended, particularly the Orchid Room.

“Lovely stay, with lovely finishing touches....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010

Stayed at Bluebells for two nights to celebrate hubby's birthday. The road that is Wincheap is a real mixture of properties, residential, commercial and other B&B establishments. Bluebells is a real gem with lots of period details retained and tastefully decorated to compliment its features. Although the bathroom (exclusive use) is at the end of the landing, towelling gowns and slippers were provided to make the journey. This reflected the other niceties provided by Michelle, our bedroom was furnished with a lovely big bed with plumb pillows, throws and cushions, along with the little touches of chocolates & biscuits and the provision of wine glasses (we usually end up with the plastic glasses from hotel bathrooms!) giving an air of luxury.
A ten to fifteen walk into the City, a really good place to base yourself for a trip to this lovely City.
