FAQs about hotels in Canterbury

Heavenly Heritage and Literary Legend

Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.

River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.

From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.

In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

The Cathedral is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction and you need several hours to fully appreciate the architecture and the features of the building. It isn't a cheap day out (currently the cost of entry is £18.00 per person - October 2025) but still represents good value, as you can use this to visit any number of times within one year. Despite the distance we will go back again, as I now know there are several things we missed during our visit. There are other things to see, but we only had one day in the city itself and the Cathedral was our main choice to visit.

We went for a long weekend - primarily to see the Catherdral. The Catherdral was stunning. We even went to the Sunday morning service, which was genuinely interesting to see. The whole building and surrounding estate was really worth the visit. The part of the city around the Catherdral was also lovely. Lots of indepdendent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Obviosuly some of it caters to the toursit trade, but overall it was really nice. We found a lovely vegetarian cafe, The Veg Box, and had a fantastic Italian meal on the evening. We also went to see a film at the Curzon at what looke dlike a brand new entertainment area. The Riverside, just at the northern end of the centre. Lots of history to learn about and a nice compact city centre. Rest of the weekend utilised our Nationa Trust membership at a couple of nearby places.

Canterbury is a pretty city with a rich history and plenty to do and see. Walking around the old streets and the canal is a very pleasant way to spend the day. There are many fantastic green spaces such as Westgate Park and you can enjoy punting on the canal. There are many great places to eat and drink and attractions like Canterbury Cathedral and the Roman Museum. It is well served by two train stations and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. You definitely need more than one day there!

Great city will lots of history , culture and vitality. Lovely walks along the Stour. Are at The Millers Arms and Pinocchios, both great mid-range ( Millers a pub and Pinocchios an Italian restaurant. However, there are upper bracket and lower bracket restaurants to choose from (Millers Arms was Dog friendly, Pinocchios wasn’t)

A walkable town just a couple hours outside of London with historic middle ages architecture mixed with modern buildings. Train rides were pleasant straight to and from King's Cross in London, so we spent a day in the West End seeing shows. Locals were very friendly and accommodating.

This was my wife's favourite place to stay during our break. It was clean. It was also quiet, which impressed me given one evening there was live music in the pub below. By chance, they happened to serve my favourite beer from my student days, and I can assure you I did test it, although not in my student day style. The Inn is very well placed to explore both Canterbury and the surrounding area, being in walking distance of the town centre, well placed for driving, and very close to one of the railway stations.
