Stayed 7 nights late SEP / early OCT. Perfect location and very quiet yet only 5 min and easy walking distance to town centre, attractions, bus terminal and Canterbury East railway station with great connections for day-trips to country villages and coastal towns. Canterbury West Station around a 15 min walk. The only issue for some would be the stairs to the bedroom which are quite steep. Overall highly recommend

Highly recommended!As a family of three with a dachshund, we had a truly perfect week in Canterbury. The apartment was very clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. The location is super central yet very quiet – all the shops and attractions are just around the corner. The parking was a huge plus, making our stay much easier. The owner, Neill, was extremely friendly and always available. Thank you so much, Neill, for the wonderful time!

Lovely little cottage, ideal location close to the town, Cathedral, Abbey etc. Nice outside areas front and back with seating and a BBQ and chiminea. The front garden has the communal footpath between it and the house, but this is not a problem, and it is well maintained with a bistro table and chairs. Furnishing is comfortable and the downstairs shower is lovely. There is everything you need in the kitchen including a coffee machine, andcthe makings of tea.We loved the welcome hamper! There was plenty of information available about the cottage and surrounding area. There was good wifi, and lots of entertainment, DVDs, games etc, and some books. The only downside were the stairs which were steep and I think people with mobility issues would struggle. And I was told the en-suite shower was a bit tricky to use. We had a lovely stay and would stay here again if we were in the area.

We doubt there’s a better place to stay while in Canterbury. The host went above and beyond in making sure our stay was perfect. À walkable distance to all landmarks. The Welcome Basket was a nice touch.

A Canterbury gem!

This property is an excellent base for exploring Canterbury. It's quiet and secluded, yet still close to all amenities. The grocery store is a short walk, and the local pub is a great place to unwind after your days adventure.
