Le Relais des Eléphants Colorés

We are Caz and Terry Daniels and at the end of January 2024 we took over this beautiful residence from a lovely Dutch couple. Our careers have been closely linked with retail and hospitality, this is our second business venture together, we once owned and managed a thriving little coffee shop in Canterbury city centre, we really enjoyed making our fantastic customers welcome with a little snack or a big meal with of course great coffee! For me, Caz, having a B&B has been a lifelong dream, my parents and grandparents had their own establishments, I am delighted to now put in to practice what I have learnt over the years and am so excited to begin this adventure in this beautiful setting. Terry is an accomplished singer/ songwriter and has just had his first fictional novel published, I am sure he will get a lot of inspiration from our new surroundings. We really want you to enjoy your stay with us, please do not hesitate to ask us if there is anything you would like to make your holiday the best it can be.
