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.

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.

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.

Its overall charm, location and excellent facilities. Steep stairs to upper floor and bath/shower arrangements in en-suite not ideal for elderly visitors.

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!

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.

Empfehlenswertes Cottage für Familienurlaub
Für unseren 1-wöchigen Urlaub (4 Pers. + Hund) war das Haus optimal. Bei der Ausstattung hat nichts gefehlt, alles war wie beschrieben. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns direkt nach der Ankunft wohlgefühlt. Der Garten ist eingezäunt, so dass unser Hund frei laufen konnte. Der Parkplatz (überwacht u. ca. 200 m entfernt) wurde vom Vermieter organisiert und bezahlt. Ruhige Lage nahe der Stadtmitte, Supermarkt (Waitrose) in der Nähe zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war freundlich und sehr nett. Die Reaktion auf Anfragen erfolgte innerhalb kurzer Zeit (wenige Stunden). Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft!

Bonita casa a 5 min del centro
Estuvimos muy agusto en esta casa, en nuestro caso éramos una familia. Pudimos disfrutar algún día desayunando en el jardín, y tuvimos una estancia muy agradable. Lo recomendaría sin duda. El propietario nos facilitó un aparcamiento cercano.
