“An historic property in the heart of Canterbury and former rest house of Charles Dickens. Rooms are luxurious yet cosy with feather down duvets, Arran Aromatics toiletries and indulgent tea trays. Hearty breakfasts are served in an atmospheric breakfast room. An ideal choice for local exploring.”

House of Agnes

An historical b&b in central Canterbury, set in the suitably wonky house where Charles Dickens lived while studying at the King’s School. With 17 rooms, a full bar, large garden and staff, it’s more akin to a small hotel than a b&b.
