The Abbots Barton Hotel history dates back to 1830 and was built as a house on the site of the Barley Farm of St Augustine. This Gothic style building became a hotel in 1927 and since then has served the needs of the historic city of Canterbury. The hotel has been tastefully, yet traditionally, refurbished to offer all the comforts and amenities of a first class modern hotel, with gardens and all the charm and atmosphere of times gone by. The hotel is situated 5 minutes walk from County Cricket Ground, close to Eurotunnel and the Dover ferry port/cruise terminal. Each of the comfortable guest rooms feature television, hairdryer and trouser press.
