Quietly settled in two acres of landscaped gardens, the Abbots Barton Hotel makes a tranquil base in Canterbury, England, with the cathedral, shops and city walls just a ten-minute walk away. Built in the 1830s as a private house, it has kept its style and homely charm intact.
Coastal and country walks lie close by, with river and sea fishing on hand and even clay pigeon shooting at a local range for those after something a little different. The two acres of grounds make a delightful place to spend the day, while the historic city beyond the gates rewards a leisurely wander. Whitstable and Herne Bay are both a short drive away on the Kent coast, while the rest of the Garden of England offers historic cities, renowned gardens and picturesque countryside. Step into Canterbury Cathedral, seat of English Christianity since 597 and the place of Thomas Becket's murder, then take a guided punt along the Stour through the old city. Book your stay at the Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel and let Canterbury's history unfold on foot.
