Overview

Adults-Only Countryside Retreat with Ayurvedic Spa in Canterbury

Accommodation & Grounds

The hotel offers 7 rooms with garden or field views, including suites with kitchen areas. Each room has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, parquet floors, a seating area, and a work desk. The grounds include a garden with a lily pond stocked with giant carp, and rooms overlook sheep fields where squirrels and pheasants are regularly seen.

Amenities

Tor Rooms has an on-site Ayurvedic spa with a heated indoor pool, sauna, and steam room. The spa offers Ayurvedic massages and treatments such as the salt brush treatment, delivered by a team of therapists who have practiced there for decades. Day spa guests also receive a freshly prepared Ayurvedic lunch, with options like dal curry and fruity posset.

Dining

Breakfast is delivered to the room in a basket between 9:00 and 9:15, containing supermarket croissants, granola, milk, and orange juice. Vegan alternatives such as gluten-free granola and oat milk are available on request. The hotel does not have an on-site restaurant for other meals, but staff provide recommendations for local pubs and farm shops, such as the Duke William and Gibsons Farm Shop.

Accessibility

The hotel is located in the village of Ickham, 8 km from Canterbury Cathedral and 103 km from London City Airport. It is 5 minutes from the Wilderness Weddings venue in Preston and close to Howletts Zoo and Canterbury Castle. The property has free on-site parking and is surrounded by gravel paths, so guests with large suitcases may find access challenging.

The hotel is adults-only and non-smoking throughout, with designated smoking areas outside. Facilities for disabled guests are available, including wheelchair access to the garden and some rooms. Staff are available until 4:30 PM, and the hotel provides an iron on request and will post back items left behind.

“My experience at Tor Rooms was marked by a profound sense of peace, largely thanks to its quiet, lakeside garden setting. The thoughtful breakfast hampers, even accommodating dietary needs, were a delightful touch, and the rooms themselves are surprisingly well-equipped. It's a place that encourages a genuine sense of relaxation, though I found the breakfast timing a little too early for the early check-out.”
