Cathedral Gate
About this property
Dating back to 1438, the historic Cathedral Gate is in the heart of Canterbury. Once slept in by pilgrims, the hotel predates the adjoining gateway to Canterbury Cathedral and features wooden beams and sloping floors.
The rooms feature a TV, telephone, and tea and coffee making facilities. Each room has a hairdryer, along with a shared or en suite bathroom. Some rooms have views of Canterbury Cathedral.
In the mornings, Cathedral Gate serves continental breakfast. Full English breakfast is also available for an additional fee. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
The Cathedral Gate is just steps from the bustling Buttermarket and the cathedral precincts. The city is home to numerous high street shops and restaurants, which are within a 2-minute stroll. Canterbury West and Canterbury East Railway Stations are both just 15 minutes’ walk away.
