The Wincheap B&B

The decor in the bedroom is smart, comfortable and stylish. Although ours was a small room, it was perfect and well-equipped for a short stay (good shower, comfy bed and Tunnocks teacakes!!) Terry and Chris are excellent hosts - welcoming and friendly. Nice to have tasty different breakfast options (the eggs Benedict and the French toast both recommended) as well as the classic full English. We wondered about the location when we booked - and OK, a small industrial/business estate is not the loveliest of views - but with a 15-min walk into the centre and private parking it was absolutely fine for us.

We have just returned from a fantastic week away in Canterbury, enhanced greatly by our extremely comfortable stay at The Wincheap B & B! Terry and Chris were the perfect hosts and went out of their way to ensure that everything….facilities, food, our very attractive room and bathroom were all top-notch. Nothing was too much trouble and we were even treated to some unexpected Prosecco and chocolates to celebrate our joint birthdays and anniversary on arrival. The city centre is within an easy 15-20 minute walk, helped considerably by a nearby underpass. There are several really good eating places, for example, The Three Tuns that we frequented quite a lot- and The Corner House (that needs to be pre-booked), where we had a more special meal on our first evening. We particularly enjoyed visiting the cathedral, which is notwithstanding rather expensive at £16 pp for general entry, the Franciscan Gardens, The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge (free)- and a leisurely boat trip on the River Stour, entertained royally by our very humorous punter, Mark! In all, it was a very positive trip and we would return to The Wincheap another time without hesitation. Thank you!

We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and given lots of information about Canterbury. We had the suite which was very clean and comfortable. The breakfasts on both days was very enjoyable with plenty of choice for continental and cooked. Will definitely book again.

Lovely Victorian town house, exceptional well located for the Cathedral and town centre. And has parking. Very clean and tidy and has all the facilities you expect. Terry and Chris who run it are great hosts, very welcoming & knowledgeable

As always just a pleasure to stay there. I challenge anyone to tell me somewhere better in Kent.

An excellent stay, very helpful proprietors, super clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. No hesitation in recommending the Wincheap!

This is the perfect B&B… spotlessly clean, welcoming, stylish, super-comfy beds, walking distance to Canterbury centre, cosy, great breakfasts…& a Tunnocks teacake on the welcome tray. This was my second stay at The Wincheap and it was just as good both stays. Chris and Terry have really done a great job here.. thanks guys, we’ll be back again when she gets her Ph.D!!!

Myself and my husband booked a couple of nights in this B&B to catch up with friends in Canterbury over the weekend. Location was excellent and a short walk, about 10 minutes into the city centre. The B&B itself was immaculate. There are renovations going on to the front of the building, however this did not impede access in any way. The entrance was freshly decorated and it was reassuring to see that the lodgings are secure by way of a ring doorbell. Terry met us on arrival and showed us to our room, which mirrored the rest of the house in its pristine condition. Terry gave us information about the local area with a handy map identifying our location and surrounding attractions. Bed was comfortable with additional pillows and blankets in the double wardrobe. Heating was on and had thermostatic control and the towel rail in the bathroom had a switch to allow self operation when required. There are tea and coffee facilities in the room and fresh milk available from the fridge in the breakfast room which is accessible 24/7. Tea cakes and biscuits were replaced daily when the room was being refreshed. This was a nice touch. Breakfast was a hearty fayre with fresh fruit, croissants and cheeses and preserves freely available with a request for any hot food to be made the night before on a menu slip that was dropped into a basket in the entrance hall the evening before. Cooked English breakfast was fresh local produce and piping hot with additional toast or bread on request if desired. The host was very attentive and we would definitely recommend staying there, as we may well do on future trips. Many thanks Kay and Alan

The Windcheap B&B is located in an excellent position within walking distance of Canterbury city centre. Terry the host was very friendly and welcoming and was always providing helpful information. The room was beautifully decorated and clean. I would certainly recommend this to anyone.
