10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was really lovely, with helpful, friendly staff. The building is beautiful, and choice of breakfast was great. Presumably due to the age of the building, there was no air conditioning, but a large fan was provided. The only slight downside was the leaking shower, but not a deal breaker, and everything was superb, in a great area of Canterbury 😀😀
