Everything was perfect in this cottage. Easy walk into the centre of Canterbury. Car parking is in a car park a few minute away, but super easy and no hassle at all. Extra mile in providing welcome pack and quality linen, ect to make in luxury. Hosts were fantastic, would definitely recommend 100% Nothing

The hosts were brilliant. My husband became really unwell the day we were travelling to Canterbury and they allowed us to check in early so he could rest and even offered to help me with anything if I needed it. They were so quick to answer anything I asked. The place was immaculate and so homely. Perfect location as well. Highly recommend.
