The historic city of Canterbury has been a favourite with travellers since the time of Chaucer. The four star ABode Canterbury (formerly the County Hotel) is a small and friendly hotel that was first licensed as a hotel in 1892. Its history can be traced further back, thanks to the 12th Century Cellars and the 15th Century public areas. The rooms however, offer the facilities and comfort of the present.The ABode Canterbury enjoys one of the finest locations the city right in the heart of the High Street and less than 5 minutes walk from the cathedral. At the rear of the hotel, where weary travellers once tethered their horses, there is parking space for up to 60 cars and the Tudor Bar is the perfect meeting point.
