A ten-minute riverside stroll from Canterbury's historic centre, Harriet House wins devoted repeat guests through chef Paul's breakfasts, ordered the evening before and served piping hot on warmed plates, ranging from a full English to eggs Florentine and smoked salmon, alongside spacious, spotlessly kept rooms with river views, and the sort of unhurried, attentive welcome from Paul and Heidi that has guests booking again two years on.

Warm hospitality from host Vicky, freshly prepared breakfasts served in the conservatory, comfortable rooms stocked with tea, coffee and biscuits, and a walkable position close to Canterbury's restaurants and theatres make this B&B a reliable and welcoming base, though a small number of guests have noted inconsistencies in upkeep and service that are worth bearing in mind.
