Accommodations & Character

The Coach House is a Georgian Grade II listed building originally constructed in 1807. The guest house retains original features such as high ceilings and creaky floorboards, while offering family rooms that accommodate multiple guests. Rooms facing the garden provide added peace, and some accommodations include a private bathroom located next to the bedroom rather than en suite.

The guest house sits within walking distance of Canterbury Cathedral, Norman Castle, and Canterbury East Railway Station. On-site parking is available for four cars at £5 per day, which must be booked in advance. A Tesco Express is located within 100 metres of the property, and the main shopping district is reachable on foot.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast is served on Saturdays and Sundays, featuring a unique menu that includes homemade French Crêpes. For other days, guests receive recommendations for nearby cafes and restaurants such as Chatterbox on Castle Street. Special diet menus can be arranged upon request.

Pet-Friendly & Family Amenities

The Coach House welcomes dogs and provides pet-friendly policies without additional charges for the animal. Families have access to board games and an indoor play area. Children can enjoy the spacious family rooms, and the property offers a complimentary laundry service for longer stays.

Services & Guest Experience

Guests benefit from express check-in and check-out, with private check-in available for late arrivals. Concierge service is offered to help with local recommendations, and the property is monitored by CCTV and smoke alarms. The guest house also provides accessible parking and outdoor furniture in the on-site garden.
