Abbots Barton Hotel - Canterbury


The Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel's interesting history dates back to 1830 when it was built as a private house on the site of the Barley Farm of St. Augustine.

It became a hotel in 1927 and has since expanded to its present size, comprising 53 guest rooms, 'The Fountain Restaurant' which seats up to 70 people, 4 private function rooms suitable for conferencing and syndicate meetings and The Cathedral Room which is perfect for large wedding parties seating up to 120 guests.

The Cathedral Room offers views and direct access to beautifully landscaped gardens.  This is an idyllic setting for photographs and provides for ample space to set up marquees which have proved to be very popular for summer weddings.

The Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel, in its tranquil setting of 2 acres of beautiful gardens, has excellent parking facilities and is just 10 minutes walk from Canterbury City Centre.

The Cathedral's history goes back to 597AD when St Augustine, sent by Pope Gregory the Great as a missionary, established his seat (or 'Cathedra') in Canterbury. In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered in the Cathedral and ever since, the Cathedral has attracted thousands of pilgrims, as told famously in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
