We had the millers room, biggest room in the hotel. Shower is a bit tricky, but doable, friendly staff. We were there on the hottest days and a fan to move some air would have been helpful. Nice location, all in all a very nice stay

Great location by the scenic Great Stour, with views of the bridge and a historic mill. Just minutes from key attractions. The double room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom. Discounted parking available through the hotel. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. The only minor issue was that the room got a bit too warm during the heatwave, but I’d gladly return during cooler weather.

The weather was very hot so my room on the 2nd floor was a but stuffy. Given the type of accommodation - traditional pub rather than modern hotel it was acceptable.

A friendly place
The Millers
Arms is well located in Cantebury. The rooms are small and need a bit of work, but the staff was very friendly. We like to play cards in the evening and they were very happy to have us stay at our table until they closed the restaurant. Very much appreciated. It is well located for the Cathedral and other sites in the area.
