A 200-year-old cottage just minutes away from the city centre, this compact home is an ideal bolthole for couples or solo travellers looking to make the most out of Caterbury’s sights. The Dane John Gardens are around the corner and the cathedral is close enough that you can see its towers from the windows here. While there’s no lounge area, you’ll find a desk and a generously-sized bed upstairs, and the well-equipped kitchen is a plus for those looking to enjoy homecooked meals between sampling the city’s food scene.
