About this property

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.

Canterbury Idyll

Wonderful experience apart from two items that might have been helpful to know in advance: parking at a distance due to challenges accessing the property by road; the precipitous stair case which would be a significant challenge to anyone with even slight mobility challenges. However property wonderful; hosts very attentive.

Great cottage centrally located in Canterbury

We had a great time at Augustine's Cottage. The location is excellent, 5-10 minutes' walk from downtown and the cathedral, and even closer to Augustine's Abbey. The long walk along the river has some beautiful parks and then open countryside and is a nice break from the crowds on the high street. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. We enjoyed lunches in the back yard with sandwiches from nearby Phoebe's. Definitely a place to return to.

Enjoyed our stay at Augustine Cottage.

Perfect location to main street (mall) of Canterbury only being maybe 10 minute or less walk. Well stocked to cater for guests including books for light reading. Heating system was very effective. Garden patio with table and chairs in front and back were appreciated on the fine, sunny days. Booklet of general town information and instructions for the heating system and tv etc kept us well informed. Check in information was easy to follow. Initial communication on booking was also easy to navigate. Beds were comfortable. Two rooms and two bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this cottage.

Charming and spacious cottage in great location

Well-stocked, great location (you can see Canterbury Cathedral spires from the front garden), charming decor and spacious floor plan easily sleeps four or five. My kids loved the extras (X-box with plenty of offline games), and my wife and I enjoyed watching some DVD’s from the owner’s collection, including the Spielberg classic ET, on the widescreen TV in the parlor. Warm gas fireplace in parlor and instructions on how to use. Much better option than any local hotel!

Lovely little Gem . In the heart of the city but so quite.

Had a fab time. The property was perfect for us. Beds amazingly comfortable. Fab location central to everything but nicely tucked away. Would certainly use again.

Empfehlenswert

Mitten im Zentrum ein paar Meter von der Einkaufszone liegt das gemütliche Haus. Ein großer Parkplatz ist in der Nähe, zu dem man ein paar 100 m geht es. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen, obwohl das Haus sehr zentral ist ist es ruhig gelegen. Mehrere Spiele (Xbox WEE) haben die Kinder erfreut, ein super Ort, um von hier aus Flüge in die Region und nach London zu machen… Sehr empfehlenswert!

Très bon séjour

Nous avons passé un très bon sejour. Emplacement idéal. Très bon contact avec le propriétaire. Parking inclus dans la location et facile d'accès. Le point à ameliorer est la propreté du logement. Ménage certainement fait rapidement entre chaque locataire. De plus nous sommes restés 9 nuits sur place et nous n'avions pas d'aspirateur à disposition. Pour une famille de 4 personnes ça fait long sans ménage. Linge très propre. Logement bien équipé.

Superbe séjour

Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour. La maison est très très proche du centre ville, nous avons tout fait à pied avec un enfant de 4 ans. Située dans une petite impasse, le logement est très au calme. Il nous a été réservé un emplacement de stationnement sur un parking public très proche également de la location. La maison est particulièrement propre et bien équipée, la literie est très confortable. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Leuk huis Centraal gelegen

Huis is mooi Victoriaans huis, caracteristiek ingericht en schoon. Er zijn veel dingen (magnetron, ventilator, waterkoker) aanwezig. Huis ligt op 3 minuten van centrum Canterbury en ook op 30-45 minuten van Dover, diverse badplaatsen. London is ook een uurtje met de trein. Parkeerplaats in de buurt en supermarkt om de hoek

Excellent accommodations

It was a great experience for our week in Canterbury. Easy walking to so many things, including train station only 17 minute walk. The rooms were comfortable and visually calming and if we needed anything the grocery store was 5 minutes away. The best part was the owner had quick response especially when the power went out one night. Totally would stay again if need be.
