About the Hotel
Historic 16th-century pub
The Evenhill is a 16th-century converted cottage in Littlebourne, 7 km from Canterbury. The property features oak beams, fireplaces, and a split-level restaurant serving seasonal British dishes, including vegetarian options. The Victorian bar offers Shepherd Neame ales, premium wines, and spirits.

The hotel has 16 en-suite rooms in a barn conversion, set back from the road for quiet stays. Options include a Feature Room with a double sofa bed, Classic Doubles with corner baths, and a Family Room with two single beds. All rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. One twin room has disabled access and a walk-in shower.
