What was not to love! I booked last minute (escaping the snow in Cumbria - and wanted something close to the Eurotunnel). The area is a bit strange, but once you pass through the gates, you think you are in another world! They should shoot a Downton Abbey type show here! The room was huge, the bed was very comfortable.... More

I have just attended a conference at Howfield Manor in the Oak Room which was wonderful, light and bright and opened onto the garden. We stayed the night before and following the conference and had a lovely large room in the oldest part of the house with a 7ft bed and everything you could need was provided. I loved the... More

We stayed for one night in August 2012 when we visited with friends for a visit to Canterbury. We had 2 very large family size rooms with ensuites to accomodate ourselves and our 3 children.

My wife and I dumped the kids with grandparents in order to get some downtime. We weren't looking for anything too flash but appreciate good food and surroundings. The hotel building and gardens are lovely. It's a bit of a shame that it's opposite industrial units but these are screened by trees and to be honest don't really affect the... More

We came to Howfield Manor Hotel for a family wedding. Having travelled from Yorkshire we were greated by Friendly staff, and although our room wasn't ready on arrival we were shown to the lounge and brought a very welcome cup of tea whilst waiting. We had booked two family rooms and were extremely pleased with the size of the rooms,... More

My husband and I got married here on 16th March 2013, and stayed for 2 nights. We were made to feel extremely welcome and we could not praise the staff enough, especially Hayley who helped plan our big day from beginning to end. She made us feel at ease and could not have been more helpful and supportive. The day... More

Howfield Manor Hotel describes itself on its website as a Country House Hotel. It is situated within pleasant grounds and the exterior building itself is attractive, but it is located opposite industrial buildings. We stayed for a weekend to attend a wedding in Chilham. The interior needs updating and the rooms are now tired looking. The first thing I noticed... More

We enjoyed a birthday meal here last year whilst visiting our granddaughter at the University. This week we enjoyed another meal and an excellent overnight stay. The staff here are so caring and helpful with a friendly, efficient and professional manner. The room was a good size (No.12) with lovely views over the hotel gardens and surrounding countryside. The room... More
