Stayed at the abbots Barton following a friends wedding. Check in desk were extremely helpful, room was clean and tidy. Bar staff were friendly and the beer was great, can’t fault it! Would recommend. less

We have just got back from a lovely tea, a gift to us, at the hotel. My wife is gluten free and they provided some great sandwiches and even nicer cakes for her, the sandwiches could have had a bigger variety of fillings but there were plenty. Mine was ordinary bread and cakes and they were delicious. We would fully recommend the hotel and the staff were great too and kept checking to make sure that we happy with everything. less

We booked this to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and we were so impressed. The food was amazing. Delicious sandwiches, great cakes and the fruit scone was wonderful. And the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you. less

An ideally situated hotel for exploring Canterbury - 10 minute walk. Luckily we arrived early and took the last car parking space, which was essential as we would not have left the car in a public car park in Canterbury. The room and shower room (see later comment re the shower) were both clean. We enjoyed our one night B & B, plus dinner. All our meals were OK. I am fussy about my white wine being cold and like it to stand in ice. I ordered a half carafe of white wine and although it wasn't in a bottle the waiter put the carafe in a wine cooler for me. The only adverse comment was that towards the end of our dinner on Saturday night as my husband had finished, the waiter removed my his plate, and, although I still had food in my hand, he asked if he could remove my plate, which seemed a bit strange. The room overlooked the building site, but as work is being done on the hotel it was unavoidable and didn't affect us. The shower needs to be treated with a black mould spray and the sink had no 'surround' and so there was no room to put soap, etc. There was a shelf to the side of the sink, but you actually need something at the back by the taps to put soap etc. on. Unfortunately, we were disturbed by the couple in the room next to us returning to their room at 1.40 am. You could hear them coming down the corridor and then once they had slammed the bedroom and bathroom doors, they continued to talk so loud that we could hear them through the wall. Eventually the night porter knocked on their door and asked them to be quiet. Unfortunately, he didn't return later to check they were still quiet because if he had he would have heard the same noise! They then both had showers in the middle of the night! I could have gone and knocked on their door but as we assumed they had been drinking I didn't know what response i would get. Unfortunately I didn't think about ringing them. Overall, a very pleasant stay and if we needed a room in Canterbury again we would stay here. less

Me and my mum visited for afternoon tea earlier this week and had a fantastic time. The reception lady was helpful and the manger was very good and polite made sure we had morw tea or coffee if we needed it. The food was very good and plentiful. Will definitely come back. Thank you less
