Located in Littlebourne and with Canterbury Cathedral reachable within 9.3 km, The Duke William provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi and a bar. This 4-star inn offers barbecue facilities. The accommodation features evening entertainment and luggage storage space.

Good place for a two nights stay with our dog. Excellent food in the pub and good choices for breakfast. We stayed in the room with a terrace with a gorgeous view over the fields. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    The room was full of old charm and the roll top bath in the middle of the large bathroom was fantastic. We had dinner in the evening and it was superb. All local Kent ingredients, it is worth reading the book (in your room) about how the products are sourced. A lovely breakfast tray was delivered to the room in the morning, with freshly baked and local produce.

    The inn had plenty of parking. It was a very decently sized family room with a TV, Nespresso coffee machine and included pods, very comfortable beds with white linen. Everything was clean and comfortable - cannot complain. The inn it self was very nice - had dinner and (free) breakfast the next morning. Overall, a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.

    Historic inn in lovely village with a car park. We went for one of the bigger rooms with private bathroom (room 4), which worked well. Quiet, comfy bed, good bathroom. Breakfast and evening dinner very good, well stocked bar with local beers etc. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Room was comfortable but adjacent to the main road. Meals were what we have come to expect from Innkeepers Lodge and enjoyable.

    The location was great! Only a short ride into Canterbury centre. The room was clean and had *almost* everything we needed, a mini fridge would have been good! The restaurant was beautiful, and the food was awesome, especially the breakfast 😜 The staff were so friendly and polite, and couldn’t do enough for us. The Innkeepers will definitely be our place of choice when we come again in August/September. Can’t recommend enough!!
