    Location

    This charming inn is set in beautiful countryside and is ideally located for the historical town of Canterbury and is also close to the seafront. There are many local points of interest apart from Canterbury Town and Wingham Wildlife Park, which is a great attraction for families. Just over a mile away, there is Barnsole Vineyard, which is well worth a visit if you are in the area. The grounds of Goodnestone Park, a beautiful country house, provides wonderful walks in all seasons and is just over three miles away.

    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Vehicle required

    To get the best out of staying in this property, it is actually necessary to have a car in order to reach all the local attractions.

    negative:

    Bar/restaurant closed

    The inn is apparently undergoing a change of management as of early 2016, and so the bar and restaurant are closed, which some guests find inconvenient.

    negative:

    Refurbishment needed

    Guests have mentioned that the inn is a little tired looking in places and there are some signs of neglect. This might not be very surprising considering that a change of ownership seems to be going on at the moment. However, the inn has a lot of great possibilities, going by the reports of some of the guests. One recent guest remarked that if a refurbishment is done here, the inn would be up to the standard of a luxury hotel.
