With its stylish furniture and eye-catching accent walls, there's no doubt that Taut Bow is chic. It is on the smaller side (it's a studio, after all), but it's well-equipped with a sleek kitchen (a feature that you'd miss out on when staying in a hotel). We love the Scandi style interiors here, which create a peaceful ambience to kick back in after a day of sightseeing in Canterbury. Curl up with a cup of tea or why not pour a glass of wine and then head out to discover the city by night? With a wealth of eateries and bars to sample, you'll have an ideal base to retreat to as the evening draws to a close. Perfect for a couple or a solo traveller, this spot is only a twelve-minute stroll away from Canterbury's historic city centre. On a sunny day, the beautiful Westgate Gardens are less than ten minutes away by foot – and you're also within walking distance to Canterbury Cathedral, all the shops at Whitefriars, and lots of exciting restaurants and pubs.
