Expected More
The positives were that the room was spotless. It was situated in a beautiful part of Canterbury, very close to the city centre. Breakfast was devine for the both of us. Very friendly staff. The Negatives were. The windows wouldnt close completely and you could hear eveything from the beer garden below when trying to sleep. The wadrobe had no door knobs on both doors which made it very almost impossible to open. Lots of coffee pods and tea bags, but only not enough milks. I had to shower kneeling down as the shower did not go high enough for me to get under (im 6ft 3in). The scorch marks going across the bathroom floor was abit worrying and quite hot to stand on. I expected more for £165 per night!

Great stay in Canterbury. Very good location easy to walk into city centre. Easy parking just across the road. Room on the small size but good value as it included a great breakfast. Room could do with some more lighting otherwise fine.

We had a lovely stay at Millers Arms. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating! Paul, Bella, Jenny, and Ollie all were wonderfully helpful and provided great suggestions and advice for our trip. Breakfast was delicious and substantial. The rooms were modest and small but has nice amenities. They were not very well cleaned though. The location was also great as it was mostly quiet but very walkable to the train station and to the city center. Thank you!

My wife and I stayed one night at the Millers Arms in August 2024. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were really friendly and nothing felt too much trouble. The room was clean, with a really comfy bed and some nice added extras (toiletries, biscuits, Nespresso machine). We stayed on a Sunday night and popped into the bar for a drink before we headed to the room. Even though it was getting close to closing time, the staff were more than accommodating and didn’t at any point rush us. There was a good selection of options at breakfast. We both had a Full English but there were plenty of other options to choose from! Parking was easy, although we paid for 48 hours when we were there less than 24. Overall, really good value for the money. We dont often take the time to write reviews but we really enjoyed it and would definitely stay again/recommend.
