    The location was ideal! We were close to the cathedral and not too far from the train station. The owners were very friendly.

    Location amazing, heart of everything. Loved the building, built in 1500 so very historic but also with the disadvantages of an ancient structure, staircases quite steep but very doable.

    The Sun Hotel is a 15th century hotel just across the street from Canterbury Cathedral. The location is excellent for accessing the old town center and the main attractions in Canterbury such as the cathedral and the Augustine Abbey ruins....
