| The House of Agnes takes its name from the Charles Dickens'' story, David Copperfield. In the book, the building was the home of Agnes Wickfield and several passages describe aspects of both the exterior and interior of the historic building.
The heritage garden and buildings are rich in history; as well as Roman artefacts, an extremely rare scientific instrument, known as an “astrolabic quadrant” and dating from 1388 was unearthed during recent renovations. It was described as "one of the greatest ever scientific discoveries of its kind in the world" and is currently on show at the British Museum.
This intimate and historic hotel is 2 miles from Canterbury and close to Dover, Ashford and the Eurostar.
There are 15 bedrooms, some of which date back to the 1640s. A small part of the building is thought to date back to around 1350.
Enjoy freshly cooked French-style cuisine in the romantic restaurant, and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.
The family-run hotel has 5 acres of gardens and is surrounded by fruit trees and the hills of the North Downs. It is minutes away from Canterbury city centre.
