The location is highly praised for its excellent area, easy parking, and great transport links. Its proximity to Canterbury and North-East Kent attractions, as well as the convenience for visiting various locales, supports a high location score.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the accommodation comfortable, others noted issues such as a stuffy upstairs area and a lack of modernisation. However, the positive mentions of comfortable bedrooms contribute to a fairly positive score.
Facilities are generally seen as adequate, with mentions of a well-equipped property. However, there are comments about maintenance issues like a leaking fridge and lack of hot water upstairs, which slightly lower the score.

The accommodation is reflected in the price. Located in an excellent area on the outskirts of Canterbury. Perfect for visiting Canterbury & North-East Kent. Sturry Park & Ride just down the road & great rail links. (£4 to park the car + 4 passengers) payable at the machine. Our host was very welcoming & informative.

Cedars is a lovely place to stay and the owner is lovely. Cedars is ideal for travelling to other places around Canterbury and we have stayed at Cedars numerous times and we will stay there again.
