The room was comfortable. The breakfast was just lovely, but the restaurant was just amazing. This was a good base to explore Canterbury itself and surrounding areas. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Matt Sworder
This 16th Century former Coach House overlooking the city walls has been recently refurbished. Stylish restaurant with lots of character and 3 beautiful en suite bedrooms with modern facilities, retaining their 16th century oak beamed charm. In the past the property was known as the Flying Horse, a regular haunt of the novelist Charles Dickens and legend has it, one of few places to have had a tunnel leading directly to the Cathedral. Our restaurant is open Monday - Thursday 5pm - 10pm, Friday lunch 12pm - 2pm then dinner 5pm - 10pm, Saturday 12pm - 10pm and Sunday lunch 12pm - 3pm and dinner 5:30pm - 10pm. Last bookings for the restaurant are 8pm every night.
Independently owned local family restaurant, headed up by Matt Sworder. Matt trained at Gordon Ramsey's La Noisette and has won many local awards at his Minster restaurant and continues his success here in Canterbury. Matt and his team are passionate about using the best local produce in creating innovative and tasty dishes to deliver a great guest experience.
This location offers great convenience for visiting the historic city, Canterbury Cathedral, the Marlowe theatre and a whole host of museums and galleries. On the doorstep of Christ Church University and the University of Kent is also within easy reach. The location also benefits a five minute walk from Canterbury East train station, 15 minutes from Canterbury West and 2 minutes from the bus station. Easily reached by car as we are just on the ring road and there is a public car park behind the building which is available for guests at a cost of 14.00.
