My partner and I got married at Cave this month. We fell in love with it back in 2020 and booked it almost immediately. The communications with the wedding team was great and made the process easier. Megan is our 2nd wedding coordinator due to our first taking on a new job role elsewhere. The handover was effortless that we couldn't tell and pretty much forgot there was a change in staff. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food, location and have been boasting about it to this day. The staff were fabulous, friendly, very professional and accommodating to our guests. As part of the wedding package, we were able to stay the night at the Bridal suite which is absolutely stunning with outstanding panoramic views of the golf course and access to the Spa and Gym. There was a member of staff, Chloe who worked at the hotel reception and she was extremely helpful. The day after, we packed our car tight and had no room left for a balloon gifted by the hotel and our top table flowers. Chloe kindly stepped up and offered the boot of her car which my now husband collected from the next day. In a years time, we'll get to return to enjoy our 1st anniversary dinner as part of the wedding package but I guarantee we'll be back sooner than that. Thank you so much again. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The location is very good, in a service area, there is a parking lot, the parking ticket costs 3 pounds; the hotel breakfast is very rich, the typical English breakfast has steamed eggs, bacon, fried sausage, yogurt and fruit!

Fantastic service. Quaint rooms, comfortable beds and great breakfast. Owners went out of their way to get vegetarian alternatives, and were generally very welcoming and friendly. Affordable and close proximity to Canterbury City, would 100% recommend to everyone. Also a gorgeous dog on site!

Our family of four spent 3 nights in 2 rooms at the Howfield....and had a great time. The hotel is a few mins drive from Canterbury, off a main road, in lovely grounds with plenty of free parking. Very quiet, you could be in the middle of nowhere. The rooms are large, well equipped and comfortable. They were with their faults but it didn't detract from the stay. In one room, the mattress was very firm which isn't particularly to our liking. In the other room, there was a small leak in the bathroom. In both rooms, the show was temperamental in terms of power. As with so many places during COVID-19, there were only a few staff. The leak wasn't dealt with during our stay but we were informed it was on the list for the handyman the day we left. It didn't detract from our stay... The staff are friendly and accommodating. None of usual indifference that is so often present in hotels these days. The food was EXCELLENT. We had dinner on the first night and it was delicious. Limited options but something for everyone. The breakfast is made to order, plentiful and again, delicious. The venue felt very secure with non obtrusive COVID-19 measures in place. We would have no hesitation staying at Howfield again. They deserve to do well and if they invested just a tiny bit more, the place would be amazing. Thank you for a great weekend! We will be back!

We have just returned from a 3-night stay at Judd’s Folly and would like to say that we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our cottage was lovely, very clean and in beautiful surroundings. All the staff were very friendly and very helpful. The food was great and overall it was excellent value for money. Thank you for helping us to have a relaxing, enjoyable stay.

Pros: The room is clean and cleaned up in a timely manner. The breakfast is good, and the steak in the restaurant on the first floor can be slightly expensive. Cons: No elevator. However, there are few old hotels in the UK with elevators.
