The Corner House Canterbury

Could have been perfect but very noisy We stayed in the Chaucer room which was a lovely room, beautifully decorated with modern facilities and immaculately clean. The staff were friendly and there were lots or small touches like fresh milk in the fridge. The next morning a beautifully presented continental breakfast tray was delivered to our room which we really enjoyed. On the downside the room was really noisy and not from traffic noise which we would have expected given the hotels location next to a main road. However the traffic noise was minimal but instead we could hear a constant bass coming from the speakers in the restaurant downstairs, which went on very late into the night and prevented us from being able to sleep. It's a shame as overall it's a really lovely hotel but the noise would put us off staying again.

Traveled from Palmer, Alaska Spent two nights in Canterbury. This was a quaint, little hotel. I am in awe of the buildings in Europe. This was the best of the hotels we stayed at during this trip. We were in the Chaucer room. The room was spacious and clean. There were exposed beams and brick which added greatly to the ambience. Not much of a view out the window, as I believe we were on the back side of the building. However, the architectural details of the roof and material were in full view. My wife stayed in Canterbury to explore the castle while I took the opportunity to travel to Dover to see the cliffs. I had a quick bus ride and a nice hike out as far as the visitor center. I would have traveled further, but wanted to go to the Dover Castle. Hindsight being what it is, I should have continued my hike. When I arrived at the castle, I found that it was closed. On my way out, I stopped at the White Horse pub and had a couple of pints. Then a short walk through town to view some of the Christmas lights before hopping the bus back to Canterbury. We spent the remainder of the evening wandering around town and ended up eating at The Old Weavers House that was established in 1500. Would recommend spending a few more days to take in the rest of the sites.

Had an excellent 2-night stay at The Corner House. Can highly recommend either as a place to stay or to have a meal (or both). Staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and it was obvious that a lot of pride was taken by the chef in terms of sourcing with quality ingredients. The room was comfortable and had character. Lovely memories and hope to visit again in future.

Room had everything and we got for a very good price. Breakfast was continental served in the bedroom. Air conditioning which was needed as boiling hot. Mood lighting, lots of information, coffee, teas, lovely bathroom. Pity we didn't have time to book the restaurant as it looked and smelled delicious. Will definitely return so we can sample the restaurant. Parking at the back at a cost of approx £14 per 24 hrs if staying at hotel. Perfect location and no noise.

Matt Sworder and his team are completely focused on giving the customer an enjoyable experience. Nothing is too much trouble. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the food is excellent. I certainly recommend this restaurant as a place to dine in Canterbury.
