Only little bit of feedback would be the shower panel isn't big enough and when you shower there whole room gets soaked. Minor thing really but easily fixed

The perfect setting the switch off and relax. The Hot tub was amazing and the icing on the cake. Great distance from the centre of Canterbury, only a short drive for an easy day out. Great facilities meant we could have dinner in the Snug and enjoy the view.

The hosts were so helpful whenever we had any questions! Everything else was perfect! 15 minute walk to the station which was only 5 mins into Canterbury centre. Would recommend
