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.
Rooms with modern comforts
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.
Local and classic cuisine
The restaurant serves home-cooked pub classics like a homemade burger with cheese and bacon, alongside seasonal local produce. Breakfast runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM on weekdays, extending to 10:00 AM on weekends. The garden provides outdoor seating with views of the countryside.
Near Canterbury attractions
The hotel is 3 miles from Canterbury, close to the cathedral, city walls, and Wingham Wildlife Park. Golf courses like Royal St George's are a short drive away. A train service connects to Canterbury West, with taxis and buses available.
Events and accessibility
The Evenhill hosts events for up to 30 guests, with buffet options available. The reception has a 32-inch-wide disabled ramp, and a public toilet is accessible via the garden. Parking is available, and the fire assembly point is by the white garage in the car park.
“What strikes me most is how this beautifully preserved 16th-century building now welcomes families, even dogs, into its updated rooms. I particularly appreciate the commitment to local, seasonal food in the restaurant, and the fact that there's ample space to unwind in the gardens. It's a charming base from which to explore Canterbury.”
