Canterbury offers a range of dog-friendly hotels that welcome pets, from historic inns with four-poster beds to modern lodges with kitchens. Many properties provide free parking, spacious grounds, and easy access to walking paths near the cathedral. Budget options start around £80 per night, while upscale stays with golf courses or city-centre locations cost more. Popular areas include the historic city centre, where some hotels allow dogs only in cottages or apartments, and quieter outskirts like Upper Harbledown or Littlebourne, which offer more space for your dog to roam.
Top-rated choices include Woolpack Inn (91 Superb score) in Chilham, a 16th-century inn with a traditional restaurant and leafy terrace, ideal for countryside walks. Broome Park Hotel (83 Very Good) features a championship golf course, indoor pool, and woodland cabins where pets are welcome. For a central stay, The Coach House (76 Good) is a Grade II listed guest house near Dane John Gardens, with modern rooms and private parking. Always confirm pet policies directly, as some hotels restrict dogs to specific room types or charge an additional fee.
