If you're going to Canterbury, stay here! Sandi is such a delightful innkeeper and has added so much to make your stay comfortable. She has an honor bar off the lobby where you can get soda and drinks (and at prices much less than a pub, with a better selection). The breakfast is lovely and you'll be served by cheerful... More

The House of Agnes offers the absolute best treatment of any B&B in the area. Every time we have stayed here, Sandie de Rougemont and her staff have gone way out of their way to insure that we have the most special stay we can have. From the warm and personal welcome to room preparation to city guides for our... More

My wife and I just stayed two nights and we just had a wonderful stay. We were in the Canterbury room which although at the front is very quiet. But it so typifies the place that ear plugs are provided just in case. The room is beautiful, four poster bed, very romantic but if you want a bath rather than... More

Stayed for 3 nights in the Stables. Everything in the room was of the highest standard and the jacuzzi bath was an added bonus.The breakfasts were excellent and the choice was great. The honesty bar is an original idea with a wide choice of soft and alcoholic drinks.The staff made us feel really welcome and will definitely return if we... More

A hidden gem we enjoyed the garden, the roof terrace associated to the room. The honesty bar was very welcoming and good to have some extra space without having to go into the hussle and bussle of the town. Breakfast was great for veggies like me - but shame that the grumpy waitress was having a bad day as the... More

Thank you for your kind review and for your appreciation of my 'quirky' establishment. I admit to being very self-indulgent as far as decor is concerned! I am a veggie myself so I make sure non-meat eaters are catered for and provisions are made for gluten-free and lactose intolerant guests as well. I'm sorry about the grumpy waitress at breakfast....

The House of Agnes dates back some 600 years.Stayed overnight 19th April as part of surprise, meeting up with friends from the North. Hadn't stayed here before but will again. Bags of character, good breakfast and excellently situated for all central parts of Canterbury. Short walk from train station, excellent and prize winning daily 'farmers' market' at The Goods Shed,... More

We spent 3 nights at this lovely B&B which has bags of character and could not be more conveniently situated. Staff were very helpful from start to finish. We feel we really got the best out of Canterbury. The weather certainly provided a great back drop and the honesty bar was a welcome on return from a days sightseeing. Would... More

House of Agnes in Canterbury is a wonderful B&B/Hotel. Located just outside the West Gate and a short walk from Canterbury West Station (with high speed services to London) it offers both traditional and contemporary rooms (the stables). With a private carpark it saves you a lot of money! Carpark prices in Canterbury are really a ripp-off! I only experienced... More
