COUNTRY VIEWS & HISTORIC CHIC AT OUR HOTEL IN CANTERBURY

Dating back to the 18th century, The Old Gate Inn has been spoiling guests with its character, charm, and warm welcomes for over 300 years…and now, it’s your turn.

Located less than 10 minutes from Canterbury’s impressive architecture, attractions and universities, not many can resist such levels of comfort and convenience, pairing modern, en-suite rooms with countryside views and a rustic pub downstairs – boasting exposed-brick fireplaces and beams, naturally.

Whether you’re staying for business or pleasure, make time to enjoy St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Roman Museum, Westgate Towers Museum & Viewpoint – featuring period artefacts, city views, and escape rooms – or freshen up before a wedding at nearby Winters Barns.

FOOD & DRINK BY THE OLD GATE INN

Since our pub is part of the Vintage Inns family, you’ll be tempted to browse our menus before you’ve even dropped off your bags…

Wake up to a delicious breakfast, known as the only way to start the day – while making plans to join us again later. Mouth-watering Sunday lunch with family? Chilled tipples with friends in our beer garden? Or cosying up to a Lavazza coffee in one of our fireside armchairs?

With seasonally inspired dishes and an extensive range of drinks, there’s really no wrong choice. Treat yourself – you’re on holiday.
