This Canterbury cottage invites guests to experience Canterbury with sheer convenience and comfort. From its ideal location (only a four-minute stroll from the historic city centre) to its characterful interiors that make for an aesthetically pleasing stay – you'll soon settle in here. While the quirky spiral staircase may not be suited to young children or those with limited mobility, it certainly adds to the home's charms. Meanwhile, this spot gets extra points from us for its cute patio terrace, which provides the perfect setting for perching with a cup of tea after a day of wandering around the ancient city of Canterbury.
