Situated in the historic city walls of the charming city of Canterbury, Castle Cottage enjoys an excellent position on Castle Street, just a moment's walk from all that Canterbury has to offer.

Steeped in character, from beam ceilings to the exposed inglenook fireplace, Castle Cottage has been beautifully extended to create a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area – perfect for relaxed breakfasts with family and friends before a day of exploring the cobbled streets of the city.

In the warmer months, bi-fold doors open onto the spacious enclosed garden, creating a lovely spot for a pre-dinner drink or a quiet afternoon in the sun. It’s also ideal for children and welcomed four-legged friends who may enjoy a little extra room to stretch their legs.

A winding staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find a characterful bedroom overlooking the street below, along with a modern bathroom complete with a large rain shower. A second staircase then leads to another cosy bedroom tucked beneath the beamed eaves.

As for the location? It really does speak for itself. Set on a quiet street just moments from Canterbury’s shops, restaurants, and cafés, the cottage is also only a 5-minute walk from the nearest train station (Canterbury East), magnificent cathedral and river, where you can take a classic punting tour for an authentic Canterbury visit. But with both a welcoming café and an Italian restaurant just steps from the front door, staying in with a takeaway breakfast or supper can be just as tempting as heading out.

Charming Central Canterbury Castle Cottage! 4.7/5

We loved our stay at the Castle Cottage. The cottage was even better than the photos showcased. The historic fittings and decor of the house was incredible charming. Paired with a large dining area and updated kitchen, it was a fantastic combination of old world charm and modern convenience. The cottage was close to central Canterbury, the train station and some delightful shops and restaurants. It's central location meant it was quite loud in the evening with passers by, but things quieted down by 11pm or so. I will note that the stairs are quite steep and this would not be a good fit for anyone who would have difficulty with narrow staircases. I would also recommend to bring your own pillow if you do not like full, firm pillows. There were ample linens and towels, and the bathroom was excellently fitted.
