My partner and I stayed in Room 4 of Magnolia House and had a lovely, relaxing and very comfortable stay. We had been saving up for a special weekend away and spent a little more than we were intending to when we booked Magnolia House (my partner was hoping for a £19 Travelodge deal) but I was absolutely thrilled by...

My wife and I have just had a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful stay. We stayed in the Garden Room which was spaceous and well appointed, the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was really big as well. The room was finished with lots of nice touches, like decent coffee, fruit teas, wine and beer in the fridge, fresh milk,... More

We stayed here for 1 week this past week for a business trip. It was a wonderful stay. All of the rooms are nice. The best room is the Garden Room, followed by room 6. We had to switch rooms for a while due to a miscalculation on our part, but room 3 was nice as well. Breakfast was always... More

I returned to Magnolia House again. The owner and staff are so pleasant, helpful and friendly. The room, as always, was wonderful; clean, comfortable and with everything you could need and more! I wish that I could stay for longer. Thank you.

I booked this place as a surprise treat to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We stayed in the Garden Room which we thought was lovely. As a surprise the owner had left us a welcome card and a bottle of bubbly - a lovely touch. There was a well stocked fridge / mini-bar in the room and we had fresh milk... More

Great room and breakfast, lots of attention to detail and charming hostess. Beautiful garden and location. I'm very surprised to read comments here calling Magnolia House 'shabby and criticising the breakfast which was always fresh and delicious (including the lovely fruit salad with yogurt and honey etc, fresh juices, etc). There is a certain English style to the place which... More

Spent a couple of nights here at the beginning of November as the nights are drawing in and chilly. This hotel catered for our every need. The room was cosy and well stocked with tea biscuits wine beer and small fridge for fresh milk. The china was beautiful and included a teapot, just as I like it! Bed was very... More

Not our cup of tea....B&B is tired and shabby. Breakfast was awful...I don't like to write negative reviews but felt I had to. Maybe I have been spoiled with the many amazing B&Bs we have stayed at, but I felt this was tatty and overpriced. The fruit salad (which is portioned out in advance) was inedible :-( I found it...

I am sorry you had such a bad impression of Magnolia House, which has just recently undergone extensive refurbishment and the bedrooms enlarged. I am also sorry that our award-winning breakfasts were not to your taste. The accompaniments to the eggs are served separately in Italian porcelain dishes in order for the guests to help themselves to the quantity they... More

Stayed here for a couple of days and was very happy with the lovely quiet location but only 10 minutes walk to the centre of Canterbury. Room was very well equipped with nice touches in the bathroom and individual bottles of wine, beer and water in the fridge. The room and bathroom were smaller than expected but very comfortable.
