Built in the 1730s, Castle House Hotel incorporates part of the Norman city walls, the Roman Worthgate, and a secluded private walled garden containing the only remaining section of Canterbury's original moat. The 3-star hotel offers en-suite rooms with flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and views of Canterbury Castle or the Cathedral. A complimentary English breakfast is served on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 9:30 AM at Castle House Hotel, featuring pastries, cheeses, meats, and fruits. The property includes a bar with floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows and free Wi-Fi in public areas. Located 1 km from Canterbury West station, the hotel is a short walk from the Cathedral, The Marlowe Theatre, and the historic city walls. Free off-road parking is available, and discounted parking can be arranged at nearby car parks.
Pros
The secluded garden contains the only remaining section of Canterbury's original city moat.
Free off-road parking is provided-a rare feature among hotels in the area.
The bar features floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows, blending historic ambiance with modern comfort.
Cons

Some nearby attractions require a short walk of up to 2 km.
“Castle House strikes me as a characterful base for exploring Canterbury; rooms are comfortable and breakfast offers plenty of choice, plus free parking is a real advantage. Staff are consistently helpful and friendly, adding to the appeal. It's a place that balances accessibility with a personal touch.”
