Charming 2 bed cottage in the heart of Canterbury with parking nearby

An idyllic and quintessential English cottage set in a quiet cul-de-sac of just 10 cottages less than 5 minutes' walk from Canterbury's historic and vibrant city centre. The property which boasts both front and back gardens, Canterbury Cathedral views, 2 bedrooms, traditional decor and all mod cons sleeps up to 4 adults (+Z bed) is one of the very few cottages in the middle of Canterbury which is also pet friendly. Please note that, as is typical in cottages of this type, the stairs are quite steep to the bedrooms though we do have handrails. A free parking permit is available for your stay on request at nearby Longport car park.

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.
