Historic Canterbury inn with free parking and on-site pub restaurant
Dining
The Old Gate Inn's on-site restaurant offers a menu of traditional home-cooked meals, including a full English breakfast and Sunday lunch. The pub serves a quality selection of drinks at the bar, and guests are advised to book a table for evening dining as it is popular with locals. Seasonal local events information is readily accessible to guests at the bar.
Rooms
All rooms come with private tiled shower rooms featuring a power shower and free toiletries, with some overlooking farmland. Family rooms accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 children, providing a sofa bed in addition to the main bed. Each room is equipped with a work desk and wardrobe, and access to rooms is via a separate entrance with key fob for late-night arrivals.
Location
The inn is located on the outskirts of Canterbury, adjacent to a Park and Ride facility offering direct bus service to the city center in 5 minutes.

Free on-site parking is available, including spaces for Blue Badge holders.
