We had best room in the house with the four poster bed and the big bathroom. It was nice and quiet, spotless, good internet and other bits and bobs to make the stay comfortable. The chap is very helpful and is an excellent host, and they also knock up a decent english breakfast. It is also only 5 minutes walk... More

Lovely people who run this B&B. You can ask them everything, they called us a taxi, they were very flexible concerning picking up our luggage. They helped us a lot with our questions. Both owners are very friendly and like to have a chat with their guests. It's our second time that we stayed in Allicante and each time we... More

From here you can easily walk into Canterbury in just a few minutes, and there's nice pubs and restuarants nearby. Off-road parking is available from late afternoons in the week and all weekend. Nice and clean. Welcoming host, clean rooms with a good tea and coffee tray, and a nice breakfast.

This is a lovely Guest House within walking distance of everything Canterbury has to offer. The owners Terry and Jean are very welcoming and friendly. We had the Four Poster room which was the largest double which was nicely decorated to the rear looking over the garden. The only reason we've given it 4 out of 5 is that the... More

If it is the Holiday Inn Express type of experience you are looking for - where once inside you could be anywhere in the world and the rooms and facilities are identical - you probably wouldn't be looking for accommodation in an independent family run Bed & Breakfast. But if you are hoping for a real genuine welcome, a cosy... More

The title says it all really - there was really nothing wrong with the room itself, clean enough although a bit "tired"; the breakfast was good (though we were not offered the grapefruit which appeared on the menu); but the shower room was appalling. Blackened grout, certainly not "Area 3" (bathroom) lights as required by British regulations, and worst of... More

The same day that the tiles falling off was reported, all the shower tiles were stripped off to replace them. I found that behind the tiles was normal hardboard backing, it was this that was the black gunge you refer to, due to it being soaking wet and obviously the wrong type of material for the job. The new backing... More

I only stayed one night in order to do a bit of sight-seeing around Canterbury after a conference there. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean, but awfully tiny with the sink in the room rather than in the shower/toilet cubicle, a narrow shelf with a water heater, and no space at all to put... More

We only stayed for 1 night but really enjoyed it. Terry the proprietor could've do enough for us. We stayed in the four poster room very clean and comfortable with en suite facilities. The cost was very reasonable. In particular compared to some of the other accommodation in Canerburyb

My fiance and I were very impressed with the Alicante Guest House. From the booking process to the end of our stay, the service offered was first class! We were given the four poster bedroom at a discounted price (because we stayed for more than 3 nights) and was very impressed with the room size and decor. We have stayed... More
