| If you're thinking of visiting East Kent, and especially Canterbury - a bustling city of huge cultural, historical and religious interest, nestling in the beautiful countryside of "The Garden of England" and close to exquisite small villages and holiday venues - we would like to welcome you to the award winning Thanington Hotel, in Wincheap, Canterbury. Canterbury is an ideal base for visitors to East Kent, being centrally located, with excellent communications, by road or rail - and from September 2004 - by air:- Manston Airport offers affordable flights to many UK and European destinations.  The hotel itself is conveniently located in an oasis of calm in this otherwise bustling and vibrant city, though just a short stroll from the town centre and its many attractions. It is one of only two hotels in Canterbury with an indoor heated swimming pool, available all year round and leading directly to the `sun trap` garden. We have 14 en-suite rooms - some with 4 poster beds - and including 2 family sized rooms. We are always on hand to assist with planning your day, to provide route maps, restaurant reservations and any other information you may require. |

| The Hotel Originally a Georgian farmhouse and listed Grade II for its architectural interest, Thanington House was built in approximately 1800. The second floor has added in 1830 together with the distinctive black cowls over the first floor windows.  Thanington Hotel opened in 1987 when ten purpose-built hotel rooms were completed and linked to the main house by a beautiful Georgian conservatory. In 1992 the indoor heated swimming pool was completed. A further five bedrooms have recently been added enhancing the accommodation for our guests and the facilities are constantly being improved.Wincheap.  Wincheap was established by the year A.D. 1200 and because of the lack of space within the city walls became the site of many markets and fairs. There are two theories regarding the name 'Wincheap', firstly that it is derived from the Saxon Wenchiape or 'Wine-Cheap' meaning that a wine market was once held here; secondly that the name derives from Weychep from the old English "Waegnceap" - a wagon. Wagons would originally have been stored here for buying or selling: this would further explain the width of the road, one of the widest in Canterbury.  Wincheap was well established as a suburb of Canterbury by the thirteenth century. It still retains much of its character today and is in the Canterbury Conservation Area. |
