聖史蒂芬旅館(St. Stephens Guest House)

Stayed here for two nights in September, really impressed all around - by the welcome when we arrived to the perfeclty sized room and very spacious bathroom. Location is good for getting to the centre of Canterbury on foot but also easy for a quick getaway. Would highly recommend the breakfast options too - excellent stay all around.

Lovely location, clean and comfortable, nice furnishing. Comfortable bed! Breakfast was superb, great value for money.

Quiet inn, walking distance to all the main attractions.

I very recently returned from a further stay in the self-catering apartment. This may be my forth or even fifth visit - I'm starting to forget now. The apartment, as always, is extremely comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. Although it is an apartment, it doesn't feel like one. In my view, it is like staying in a detached property. There are no neighbours above or below and none adjoining on three sides. Even the fourth side has no direct neighbour. This is the entrance lobby to the apartment and not used by any other guest. The guest entrance is separate and across the way but it is extremely rare to hear any other guest. Everything in the apartment is of good quality and it has all you need for an enjoyable stay. The location is good too. Canterbury West train station is an easy walk away and the city itself has a lot to offer the visitor. From the bus and train stations, you can travel all over Kent and there are some great coastal and country walks available. I travel a lot and have a good amount of holidays now that I am retired and as a consequence, I stay in many hotels and guest houses. So far, the apartment at St Stephen's Guest House is far and away the best accommodation I have stayed in and it is always good to go back.

If you want the advantage of home away from home, then this is the place. I stayed in the self-catering apartment and found it very quiet and at a good location (close to Canterbury West rail station and a Sainsburys grocery store). The kitchen is small but adequate for making your own meals. The bed was very comfortable and the communication with the owners was exceptional. Definitely a place I hope to stay at again.

We stayed 2 nights in March, we were a little late in arriving but this didn't worry our lovely hosts. We settled in, ordered breakfast for the morning and went out for dinner. We were given a front door key so it didn't matter what time we came back. The rooms are clean and comfy - it was a little warm for me but that was soon sorted with each radiator having it's own control and a nice big window which opened. The hosts were welcoming and are still implementing COVID plan which was fine with us. It is an easy walk into town and with free parking on site, it is a great location. Would happily recommend to friends visiting Canterbury.

My daughter and I visited Canterbury for 4 days/4 nights in September and St. Stephens Guest House was our perfect home base for sightseeing in the city and beyond. We could walk to Enterprise, where I hired a car, which we used to visit Wingham Wildlife Park on one day and Kent Life on another. The walk into the city centre, through Abbots Mill Garden and around the Marlowe theatre is so delightful! We could pick up snacks for our excursions from nearby Sainsbury’s supermarket and have food delivered from nearby restaurants for dinner, which we ate in our spacious room. On our last day, we could easily walk to the train station, rolling our suitcases behind us, for our trip to London. We couldn’t ask for more accommodating hosts than Sandra and David Haining. I peppered them with questions before our trip and they were super-helpful in a number of ways to make our stay more comfortable once we were there. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay in Canterbury!

Great place to stay convenient for shopping short walk along river lots to see and do

Very quiet, despite being on a busy road. Easy to walk to good places to eat. Spotlessly clean!
