Nice place, but hard to find for some reason. GPS directed us (twice) a quarter of a mile away from the actual location. Room had lovely antique furniture. Shower worked well but was small. Parking available but limited. Nice shopping though right next door. Quarter of mile walk to Cathedral, nearby a decent restaurant (plus other choices)

Lovely little stay, my check in was at 3pm and I had gotten an email from (Ben?) around 4pm basically instructing me how to check in myself if I arrived too late and no one would be there, which was so lovely because I ended up arriving VERY late, the room was lovely, and had everything you'd need. The only downside about my stay at the Coach house was that it was only for ONE night, I'm hoping that one day I can come back for a longer stay :)

Room was like described as mentioned, bed and shower was very clean however the mugs and kettle was slight dirty, i could not hear other guests in my room however the floor was extremely creaky so i could hear the guests upstairs walking around. Other than that the staff where friendly and happy to explain their procedures and as a very last minute booking i felt i had received value for money!

An autum break
Great location to see Canterburys many attractions with limited parking in a offroad location out front. The hotel is a very old so those with access issues will be strongly tested. There are many stairs and steps to negotiate within and even access to the shower and toilet can be a challenge. Never the less its a short strole to the Cathedral through ancient streets that display both charm historic insight.

Mistakingly thought there was breakfast. Not so, and the options close by are fairly grim. For the price and I’m comparison with other, peer places, breakfast is standard and should be here as well.

There are much better options elsewhere
The mattress was extremely uncomfortable resulting in a mostly sleepless night. The description claims that room 1 has a private bathroom. In reality, there is an en-suite shower and basin but the toilet is in a completely separate location, accessed by leaving the room and descending a few steps down the main staircase past another guest bedroom, where there is a door marked "Private" giving access to a tiny toilet room. The property is very close to a noisy road. Take ear plugs. There was nobody present to attend reception on check-in or departure. It was all done by text/phone. I'd booked 2 nights but checked out after 1 night and paid to stay somewhere else. The Coach House still charged me 80% of the total 2 night bill, despite sharing my reasons for the early check-out.

Overall very enjoyable stay. We did not have breakfast as we preferred to eat out. Stairs are a little bit of a problem when carrying bags due to being very narrow with tight turns. Checked in late and code and instructions on how to find room were excellent. Would stay again.
