Charming 2 bed cottage with parking in Canterbury - Pass the Keys

About this space
A beautiful Victorian riverside cottage situated at the end of a private lane in the heart of the city with private gated parking for 4 cars. At the rear of the cottage, there is a lovely peaceful garden with views of the River stour.

The space
The perfect secret hideout within the ancient city walls of Canterbury. This lovingly decorated cottage promises not to disappoint! Every space has been dressed with the needs of our guests in mind. After a day exploring the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, the surrounding towns, countryside or the coast all within a 20 to 30 minute drive away. Come back to a tranquil home - to relax. In the summer the garden is perfect! Imagine sitting on a Jasmin arched bench and watching punting boats and wildlife go by. There is a fireplace inside for those cold winter nights too!

Upon entering the cottage you are greeted by a light and bright porch area. This follows through to the right into the kitchen diner and on to the left you will find the downstairs cloakroom.

The kitchen with its classic country cottage feel is equipped with all the modern amenities for those evenings when you want to have a cook up.

To the back of the house is the warm and cosy living room with a few books, games and a tv to help you unwind. The living room opens into the back garden a perfect sun trap to for the long summer days!

On the first floor you will find 2 tastefully decorated bedrooms, and a spacious modern family bathroom.

Do let us know what you think! We look forward to hosting you!

A Total Nightmare

It was my worst experience ever. Despite having registered all the requested information a month ahead of my stay, I had to message and call several times to get the property information access. I finally got them after check-in time… After a long drive and late at night, we arrived at the house and discovered no cleaning had been done. I called and messaged the host several times, but no support was offered. Finally, I had to find and pay for a hotel in addition to the house rental even though we didn't sleep in the house... The cleaning was eventually done on Saturday morning and the team allowed us a late departure on Sunday. But it was not the end of the nightmare as on Sunday morning we had neither heater nor hot water. We are still waiting for an answer to our compensation’s request… Avoid the place !
