Waltham Court Hotel hotel accommodation in | ||
| Waltham Court Hotel Kake Street Canterbury Kent CT4 5SB England United Kingdom | Built on 3 acres of common land known as Handville Green in 1796 for the poor people of the parish. The building remained as a poorhouse until 1828 when it transferred to private ownership. At this point the outhouses were converted into cottages, one of these being used as a bakery and another as a beer shop. One part of what is now the restaurant was used as a chapel by the Wesleyan Methodists. Named as Waltham Court in 1909 the house remained as a private residence, surviving the 2nd World War when it was taken over by the army and the garden turned into a potato field in 1985 it opened as a restaurant with rooms. Further substantial investment has converted Waltham Court into a fine small, quality Boutique Hotel as it stands today. Waltham Court is set in some of the most beautiful countryside in Southern England, in the valley of the North Downs within the Weald of Kent.
