Cornerways

Tucked beside the River Stour and Canterbury’s beautiful Westgate Gardens, Cornerways offers a peaceful city stay with the rare advantage of being able to explore almost entirely on foot. With ample private parking available on arrival, guests can leave the car behind and enjoy easy access to Canterbury’s historic streets, riverside walks, cafés, shops, and cultural landmarks from the moment they arrive.

Located right on the water, this centrally located cottage provides a tranquil base despite its position in the heart of the city, benefiting from its greener surroundings. Step out towards the centre for a walk through Canterbury’s medieval streets, a visit to the Cathedral, or an afternoon at the Marlowe Theatre, or head in the opposite direction along the traffic-free riverside path towards Chartham and Chilham, where the landscape quickly opens into the Kent countryside where local vineyards reside. River tours along the Stour also depart nearby, offering another perspective on the city and its historic architecture.

After a day out, the enclosed south-facing garden of this beautiful home invites guests for a drink in the lingering sun, with mature planting and a decked terrace creating a relaxed setting for outdoor dining or evenings outside in warmer weather. The enclosed garden also makes the property particularly practical for guests travelling with children or dogs.

Canterbury West station is only a short walk away, making arrivals from London especially straightforward, while nearby The Goods Shed – one of Canterbury's best-known food spots – offers local produce and restaurants for avid foodies. For guests seeking a trip to Canterbury that provides you with direct access to all the city has to offer, let Cornerways be your base.
