“The Woolpack Inn struck me as a particularly appealing spot in Canterbury, especially given its embrace of local fare and genuinely dog-friendly atmosphere. Its roots as a 600-year-old inn are palpable, creating a cozy, historically-rich environment, and the focus on home-cooked meals with locally sourced ingredients really stood out. I'd say it's a smart choice for those wanting a taste of Kent's countryside charm while remaining close to the city's attractions.”
