Customer feedback

We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.

Mr Lee Beecham, March 2010: Staff on site were helpful, rooms were clean and tidy and breakfast was good, overall a good weekend...

Mrs M E DORMER, February 2010: A very satisfactory experience, and one we would be happy to repeat. Our thanks to everyone involved, both on-line and at Becket court.

Myra Fowler, February 2010: Most interesting to be able to come and stop in a university during the Summer holiday. I did not realise it was possible to do this. Would definitely do it again.

Jillian Wilkinson, September 2009: I am very pleased to have stayed in the University of Kent - the accommodation was comfortable, with easy access to the town of Canterbury, and to Whitstable on the buses, leaving my car safely parked on site. Breakfast somewhat disappointing - maybe because the toaster was broken! Thank you very much.
