Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This Canterbury abode is contemporary to its core – and the central location means venturing out and about is a no-brainer. Come summertime, the courtyard is certainly a highlight, as is the private parking – even if the kitchen is a tad cramped for cooking. We like the bold artwork and bright spaces, although two of the three bedrooms are light on storage and there's only one full bathroom for all six guests to share. Still, you're just a short walk from the famous cathedral and numerous restaurants. All things considered, it's a pretty great spot to call home.

Home truths
With all six guests, the living area can feel cramped, plus there's only one bathroom as well as a separate WC – we'd say this home is best suited to four adults
Set over two floors, it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility
The galley-style kitchen is probably best for preparing smaller meals
Two of the three bedrooms lack storage, so we suggest packing light
If you need to work from home, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace
There's one free parking spot on the premises – although there's a lot within walking distance, so you won't need to drive

About Canterbury
The tales that Canterbury could tell. Abandoned by the Romans, chosen as the home of Britain’s first cathedral and later one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe, if it’s history you’re after, you’ll find it here in spades. The city centre is compact and beautiful – with cobbled streets lined with architectural treasures, fabulous shopping and an eclectic mix of eateries, ancient pubs and student bars. Nearly one...
