This beautiful period cottage is in the heart of Canterbury, within easy reach of independent shops, quirky eateries, and picturesque public parks. The large property sleeps six guests and one woofer and has a choice of social spaces, including a cinema room and stunning formal dining room. The surrounding area is a paradise for walkers, with the Kent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on your doorstep and a fabulous choice of nearby trails, including the North Downs Way.

The early-Victorian terraced cottage is bursting with character, with original features sitting alongside stylish furniture and accessories. Enter the holiday home into the warm and inviting lounge, where you and the hound can unwind in the glow of the cosy wood burner. From here, move through to the elegant dining room where you can enjoy group celebrations. The separate, galley-style kitchen has been carefully designed to include all the equipment needed for a self-catering holiday. From the lounge, stairs lead to the cottage’s piece de resistance – a ‘secret’ cinema room in the basement with a large Smart TV and array of comfortable seating. The three gorgeous bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floor - two double rooms and a cosy twin, served by a stunning family bathroom. Outside, a charming courtyard garden awaits, with furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining. This area is fully enclosed for your furry chum.

Let Rover lead the way on a fascinating stroll around Canterbury’s cobbled streets, being sure to visit the city’s three UNESCO sites, including the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral. There are some beautiful countryside walks branching away from the city, including the 3-mile route along the River Stour to nearby Chartham. The historic Crab and Winkle Way also starts in Canterbury, and is a mostly traffic-free trail for four-legged explorers.

What a gem! The property is so close to the centre of Canterbury, and there is a lovely friendly pub and coffee shop at the end of the street. The owner was very friendly also, meeting us at the property to ensure we knew how everything worked and the supplies she left for us to enjoy were very thoughtful. The house had everything you needed incluRead moreding the cinema room in the cellar which was nice and cool to use as the weather was so hot when we stayed. You certainly wont be disappointed! Hide

Good central location about 10 minutes walk to central Canterbury. Very comfortable beds and modern furnishings throughout. Great opportunities to eat out nearby and close to the lovely coastal towns of Deal and Whitstable.

Beautifully located, stylish and very comfortable home that is a stones throw from Canterbury centre. Lots of pubs restaurants and shops nearby. The house is very well equipped and the beds are incredibly comfortable, each room is decorated beautifully and the host has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable, from interesting books, gameRead mores and art, to the cinema room with cocktails to the pillow menu! Loved it here & would happily recommend to anyone. Hide
