FAQ about luxury tents 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.

A beautiful historical place to visit the cathedral is a must £17.00 admission per person but that entitles to visit a full year as many times you like the old cobblestone streets are beautiful with little hidden shops.Afternoon tea in Tiny Tim’s is also a place to visit

We loved exploring the Kent area whilst based in Canterbury.
We loved exploring the Kent area whilst based in Canterbury. We did 3 x Day trips - to Whitstable, Margate and Ramsgate. Then the White Cliffs of Dover and on our final day did a day trip to Dover Castle.

Beautiful with loads of independent shops.
Beautiful with loads of independent shops. Really beautiful gems around the cathedral. Difficult to find decent parking in town. Public car parks not cheap and can’t vouch for their safety. Most city centre hotels don’t have their own car parks…which is a big problem.

I know Canterbury well as parents have lived in many locations surrounding the area including Reculver, Herne Bay, Seasalter, Whitstable. Not easy to get around from area to close area outside Canterbury using taxis. No taxis from various train stations to various surrounding areas. When travelling with friend in wheel chair it was a nightmare. Could not get any taxis. Luckily we were able to rely on relatively good bus services using disabled free bus passes.Cathy

- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 567 reviewsThe hosts are wonderful and care about their guests. There are many little extras, like chocolates and filtered water, towel heating racks, tea kettle, fridge, as well as information about the area and dining suggestions. The room was very comfortable. I choose a small twin bed room which is perfect for a solo traveler. The breakfast offered was generous and delicious! I enjoyed eating breakfast in the sun room and watching the goings on at the park across the street. If I return to Canterbury, I will be returning to this property!BarbSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $133.027.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 912 reviewsThe inn is located within easy walking distance to the historic area. It's a quick 6 or 7 minute walk to the Canterbury West train station. Although the inn's front door is always locked, access instructions were easy to follow. The common areas were clean as was the bedroom and bathroom. Everything in the bedroom and bathroom was in good working order. WiFi worked really well. The continental breakfast selection was great with the option to purchase a full English breakfast if desired.
BarbYoung couple - Avg. price/night: $133.027.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 912 reviewsLocation was amazing, close to the town centre but far enough away that there was no traffic or noise. Room was perfect, bigger than expected. Ticked all the boxes for a B&B and the bed was super comfortable. Great choice of food for breakfast. Staff were accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The back garden was lovely and peaceful, a nice additional feature to have that most hotels don't think about. Look forward to out next trip to Canterbury!GraceYoung couple

- Avg. price/night: $112.888.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,078 reviewsAll the staff were great, really friendly & helpful. The room was clean and tidy but we felt that it catered more for short stays as hanging space was limited. The bathroom, although clean, lacked shelf space. Parking at hotel was no problem as it was right next to a park and ride with easy access to Canterbury town centre. The restaurant was comfortable with a varied menu. The meals we had were well presented & delicious.MAUREENYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: $136.828.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,282 reviewsThis is the 3rd time that I have stayed at The Maidens Chambers and on each occasion, the welcome has been warm, the rooms comfortable and spotless and the facilities are all that you need for an overnight stay. The hotel is located on the edge of the city centre, but that brings with it the benefits of free parking on site and all that Canterbury offers is within a very short walk.
