Cathedral Gate, Burgate, Canterbury, Kent

This 1438 building pre-dates even the adjoining sculpted Cathedral Gateway. The Cathedral itself is just 30 paces away as is the bustling commerce of the Buttermarket and a wealth of busy shops, cafes and restaurants.

Despite our central location in the pedestrianised city centre, guests may drive to the front door for unloading before going on to park.

Spread along twisting corridors among ancient tiled rooftops, the rooms enjoy modern amenities but still bespeak their medieval construction, with massive beams, sloping floors, and tell tale low doorways. Today's pilgrims get many ensuite bathrooms, in room telephones, TV etc.

While some rooms defy complete conversion, they provide a comfortable budget option for the sensitive pocket.

Our dining room is located overlooking the bustling Butter market.

Spend time in our quiet reading lounge, taking in it's striking view of Canterbury Cathedral just thirty paces away, where we can provide you
with tea, coffee or drinks from our small reception bar to help you relax between forays into the city life.
