Peregrine House is a guest house housed in a Georgian townhouse located in the heart of Canterbury. It offers modest rooms with basic amenities including free Wi-Fi and a continental breakfast buffet. The property operates on a self-service basis, with keys collected from a nearby sister location, which some guests find unusual but manageable given the close proximity.
Guests will find the accommodation straightforward and practical for short stays, especially those prioritizing location over luxury. Reviews indicate that the rooms are clean and comfortable, though some note that furnishings are dated and facilities limited, such as small showers and minimal in-room storage. The absence of air conditioning, parking, and on-site restaurant also defines the simple nature of this property.
Situated just minutes on foot from Canterbury Cathedral, Whitefriars shopping centre, and Canterbury East train station, Peregrine House is well-positioned for visitors interested in exploring the city’s historic and cultural attractions. Nearby points of interest include The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge and St Augustine's Abbey, both within easy reach.
The guest house caters well to budget-conscious travelers and families who appreciate a central location and kid-friendly accommodations. Its smoke-free environment complements those seeking a quiet urban stay. Passenger access from major airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted is straightforward by car or public transit, further easing arrival logistics.

3 day stay, wonderful location, close to everything, reception and Simon the manager were friendly and helpful. We will hopefully come back again.
Great location, very close to the city centre. Could do with a few bits of upgrading I had a single room, the window wouldn't stay open (I stuck a cushion underneath), the TV couldn't get most channels, and the (very small) shower had nowhere to store your washing bits. But was a good price and you get what you pay for.
No staff. Very strong stench of weed on entry even though it says no smoking. Great location. Room dated but clean and comfortable
We were a bit confused at first on why the reception would be in a different place than the lodge itself. However, it is literally a four minutes walk, so it's really alright. The lodge was lovely. It had what we needed; free WiFi, soap, a lot of towels! A bed, blow dryer, etc. The breakfast was so lovely! Besides the usual hostel breakfast of toast, marmalade, cereal, tea, coffee... They also offered big breakfasts. We had eggs Benedict and they were great! Also, after we checked out, they allowed us to leave our bags while we wandered before leaving. Would totally stay there again.
For the price, it’s brilliant! Rooms are basic but have everything you need. Fresh bed sheets everyday. More attention could be on cleaning but nothing terrible. No real service as they leave you to it with your own key. Location is amazing! Right in the heart of Canterbury! I would definitely come again.
Comfy and stylish hotel. But guests should collect their keys from another sister hotel not far away.
Comfortable lodgings in the heart of the old city. Full English breakfast included. Friendly staff, good service.
Exception value in such a perfect location. Right in the centre but down a quiet street. Very clean and very comfortable, with helpful staff if needed.
This straightforward town-centre bed-and-breakfast is set in a Georgian townhouse a 3-minute walk from Whitefriars Canterbury shopping centre, a 4-minute walk from Canterbury Cathedral and an 8-minute walk from Canterbury East train station.
