I had an incredible experience staying at this house. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The home was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and the living areas were spacious and comfortable.

Pros: great location, nice backyard.<br/>Cons: no hot water, no heating, irresponsive host, host didn’t provide check-in instructions before extra payment over the Airbnb price for insurance (need to provide bank details via unknown service).

Ma famille et moi, nous avons passé un weekend dans ce logement facilement d'accès, avec une place de parking en face du logement. Le logement est accessible à pied à tous les sites de la ville, ce qui est un plus.<br/>Cependant... nous somme très déçu de logement... Poussières avec des toiles d'araignée au salon (étant allergique, c'est moyen..), une fenêtre qui ne se ferme pas au master bedroom. Eau chaude non dispo à l'étage tout le long du weekend. Ayant signalé le problème à plusieurs reprises par message, aucune solution m'a été proposé pour nous aider hormis de lire leur book qui annonce en rien le fonctionnement... Utiliser à 4 la seule petite salle de bain disponible au RDC était vraiment limite...<br/>Puis nous avons été réveillé vers 8h par un artisan qui devait passer faire des travaux dans la maison...<br/>Perso, ayant payé le prix, Nous sommes vraiment déçu....

I wouldn't recomment this place despite the close location to the city centre. It was dirty, there was dust everywhere. The host did offer to send a cleaning squad next day, but when we arrived in the evening on the first day, we had to clean it to stay for the night. Also, some kitchen utensils where sticky, the pots and pans are really so old, burnt from wear and tear. The microwave was oxidised, so we didn't dare to use it. You can tell the property lacks even the minimum maintenance. The windows in the upper floor are very old and difficult to open. <br/>The host did communicate with us through messaging, but the main fault was poor cleaning and poor maintenance. To top it all up, the next-door neighbours were very loud in the evenings and late night, shouting and partying till 2am some days. Parking around the house is tricky, so not recommened if coming by car. Overall, we had quite an unpleasant experience. <br/>Thanks to AirBnb, I got the cleaning fee reimbursed.

The location was great, but the smell of the house wasn’t pleasant and it needs a lot of maintenance, Particularly the garden.

This property needs an awful lot done to bring it up to standard. The front door key does not always work. The curtains are dirty and torn. The fire extinguisher is out of date and the carbon monixide monitor isnt working. There is plaster falling off the wall, bad repairs completed and a hole in the floor near skirting. We were unable to cook, as there were no oven gloves or tea towels. The cutlery tray was rusty. The location is fabulous, and the bathrooms were clean, but nothing else in its favour.

Trina

The location is close to High Street and we could walk to everything we needed. Aldi was a short 7-10 minute walk and there are plenty of restaurants in the area. It was nice checking in and out with the lockbox. The shower upstairs was good -- we only ran out of hot water once during our month stay. The couches in the front room provided a comfortable place to sit and visit and it looked like the place had been painted recently, so that was appreciated.<br/><br/>We had a really hard time with our allergies while we were there. The place is old and there have been pets there, so we had a hard time with the smells / heavy air and were doubling up on allergy medication. The curtains / drapes could really use a wash. The floors are not very sturdy in some spots and the stairs are steep, so they are not ideal for people with mobility concerns. There is noise from the neighbors and people walking outside, but we realize there is not much that can be done for that. Also, some of the interior doors do not shut all the way, so they mostly stayed open while we were there and I don't know if it was just the time of year, but there were a lot of spiders in the house.

Rob

11/10/2022

The property was in an excellent position and all of the attractions and amenities were within easy walking distance.<br/><br/>The general condition was very poor, dirty, and lacking in basic equipment to make it a comfortable stay. <br/>Not even a teapot!!!

Judith

02/10/2022

Location is perfect with the main street a short walk away. <br/>The cottage is great and has everything you could need. Will definitely stay again on my next trip to Canterbury.

Juanita

04/09/2022

The location was good and the house has potential as it has a good layout.<br/><br/>The upstairs shower didn't work. There was no hot water. The beds are a disgrace. They squeak loudly on every tiny movement. Furthermore there are no mattress protectors or pillow protectors. The bed was extremely itchy. We got hardly any sleep in our entire stay.

Alison

29/08/2022

This cute little cottage is absolutely perfectly located for the Westgate end of town. Check-in is seamless, and the cottage is modest and comfortable and suited our needs. Unfortunately we experienced some issues with hot water and the upstairs shower and, because of technical difficulties, communication with the rental company wasn't as good as it could have been, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again in the future.

Spent 2 nights here over New Year,we parked the car in the station car park (max charge £10 for 24 hours) and everything was accessible by walking. <br/>House is well equipped and clean, it’s in a great location however we did notice the creaky twin beds as previously mentioned in a review, host is very attentive and booking was made easy by quick responses.

Francine

The communication with the third party team is superb. However, the house was cold when we arrived with our 2-month old baby. We had forwarned the owner that there is a baby with us but the room temperature when we got there was 13C. The kitchen radiator was not working. The house took ages to warm up and the bedrooms were dusty although the linens were clean. There is no clothes dryer in the house at all. We were banking on it to wash some clothes.

Catherine

14/07/2021

Absolutely stunning property at an amazing location. My family has just moved over from Singapore and we had to stay at an Airbnb before we moved into our house. The tenant and company have amazing communication and made sure that we were comfortable and checked up on us to make sure everything was to our liking. For example, we needed an iron and we were okay with receiving it the next day but to our surprise they brought an iron within an hour or two. Could not recommend it more! We will definitely be recommending this place to friends/family visiting us.

Rosalinda

07/06/2021

Wonderfully convenient location, could walk into the town centre in minutes. Sunny garden, great for outdoor breakfast. Though a bit wild in the borders, had to stop myself pulling up the weeds. Sounded like the bees and birds liked it though so guess that’s a win. Very comfortable bed, crisp clean sheets, I slept like a dream.

Suzanne

03/06/2021

Nice little house right in the centre of Canterbury. No parking but easy enough to sort separately.<br/>When we arrived the bins hadn't been emptied and the beds weren't made up. Not the end of the world but other places we've stayed this has been done.<br/>Overall though a great place as a base for exploring and wouldn't hesitant staying here again or recommending to anyone.

We loved staying at this property. It was in prime position for walking to nearly everything you’d want to see in the area. The street was quiet and felt safe. Inside the home had everything you’d need in a home. The rooms were clean and bedding was cozy! Plenty of sleeping options if you need them. We will definitely book here again the next time we visit.

Andrew

22/08/2020

We had a lovely few days in Canterbury, the location of the property being perfect for all the activities the city offers that we wanted to experience including the numerous pubs and restaurants as well as the shops, parks and historical attractions. We will return!

Liz

18/08/2020

We had a lovely stay at Saint Peter’s. We had a slight issue on arrival and the hosts couldn’t do enough to help sort the situation. The location is fantastic and our kids wanted to stay another week. We’d never been to Canterbury before and this was the perfect base for exploring the city.

Katie

11/08/2020

Unfortunately, a group of 5 of us stayed in this town house and were less than impressed. We had decided to bring an additional guest given the property is advertised as a 5 person stay . As we had increased a 5th person staying, the total price shot up by £100. This was seemingly rather steep however, I completely understood given the additional cleaning and washing for the sofa bed being used. <br/>The bedding which had been supplied for the sofa bed was not fit for purpose, there was only a dirty and stained quilt without bedding on. I contacted the host with pictures and asked for bedding to be provided to ensure our guest could sleep comfortably. As I didn’t receive a response for 48 hours I chased the host and was told that they were too busy to respond that weekend and the message had slipped through the net...<br/>Additionally, the twin beds aren’t fit for purpose and make a huge amount of noise despite minimal movement. Meaning two of our guests had extremely disturbed sleeps. <br/>The downstairs cloak room is also in dire need of a refurb especially the toilet itself. The seat is half the size of the toilet bowl and is barely fixed down. <br/>There was one positive to the stay being that Canterbury is a beautiful place and the location is ideal. <br/>I would only recommend this property if it is merely a bed to rest your head - once the twin beds are replaced that is.

Liz

03/08/2020

It’s ok for the money. The best part is the location near to city centre but the decor and fittings needs money spent on them soon

Jason

Nice little place. Perfect for the city. Small note, Parking is a complete pain - it’s around 500m away and as a single parent with minors this was extremely inconvenient. This isn’t David’s fault though - but something to bear in mind.

Ben

08/01/2020

Great location, nice place, and my daughter loved the Netflix TV. Overall a good stay.<br/>Some minor issues that might be worth highlighting:<br/>The front room (well, the half of the room in front of the stairs) doesn't have room for all three sofas, so it's unnecessarily hard to carry in luggage and take out rubbish - be prepared to lift everything to waist height or move heavy sofas.<br/>It's a terraced house with noisy neighbors. I'm sure they didn't appreciate our jet-lagged babies either.<br/>The single beds are cheap Ikea beds, very creaky.<br/>The boiler is inadequate to run a full bath - you have to be careful with hot water use.<br/>We had a problem with fat flies coming into the upstairs bathroom from a few days into our stay.

Really enjoyed our stay at St Peter's Grove. It is a stone's throw away from High Street and almost all major attractions in Canterbury are in walking distance to the cottage. It is as described and all our queries and concerns were immediately addressed which was really appreciated. Although the street itself is not busy and only residents use it to park their cars, students can be heard at night passing by the cottage, especially on the weekends. One of the houses next door appears to be occupied by students and sometimes they play really loud music late into the night which was quite annoying. The downstairs toilet can really do with some heating! Other than that we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the cottage.

David

20/10/2019

First off, the location could not be better. We were steps from the High Street but were not staying on it. Second, the place was warm and inviting. Third, it was spotlessly clean. Every possible thing we could need was there, and more! I can't think of a better holiday house to stay in. There were four of us, I slept on one of the twin beds, and the mattress was very comfortable, so I had no trouble getting to sleep. It was really a great place for all of us to stay together and still have privacy when we needed it. Whenever I come back I will definitely book this again.

The location is grait. Stayed severel times in Canterbury but the location of this house was the best. The house is a little old and we had a problem with hot water and heating but there are additional electric heater and in one of the bathroom there was additional electric boiler.<br/>We once staied in a beatifull hose in New Dover Road and thats maibe raised our expectation but considering the location this place is "no mistake".

Wonderful stay, very clean and tidy. Lots of helpful tips on local things to do and a great location as close to city centre.

Jolyon

10/03/2019

First off the location is great, literally 2 mins to the city centre and all the great restaurants in Canterbury, and the check in and communication were great. The house is very clean, especially in the bedrooms and bathrooms. <br/>What lets it down is that the downstairs seating area is not comfortable at all; the sofa are all old and shabby and very uncomfortable. This made relaxing in the evening (as our kids were in bed) a less than enjoyable experience. In addition the heating down stairs is not powerful enough.<br/>Overall decent value for money for a whole house, but probably better in summer and or you’re planning on being out most of the evenings.

David's home is beautiful; exactly as it was represented. My daughter particularly loved the privacy of her room. The bathrooms were impeccable and that's usually a big deal for me. The location is perfect for seeing the town and I must also commend the team managing the property; very responsive. I strongly recommend the home and would definitely stay there again.

David’s place was spacious, well equipped and very close to the town centre and both Canterbury stations.<br/>It was clean, and was exactly as we expected from the photos,<br/>Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore Canterbury.

A lovely house on a quiet street, right in the middle of Canterbury. A superb location! Really easy check-in using the lock box. Hosts were extremely quick to respond, and very accommodating regarding check-out, as our working times were later in the day so allowed a little more time before the cleaners arrived on the last day... This made all the difference for us, and made it a much more personable experience. Thank you!<br/>This is a lovely house and terrific value for money! Recommended.

Appartement central. Loué par une agence. Bonne communication sauf pour la remise en marche du chauffage central (odeur d'humidité pendant 2 jours). Se garer dans la rue n'est en effet pas possible mais préférer le park and drive New Dover Road plutôt que les parking suggérés car ce dernier est gardé la nuit contrairement aux autres (les gardiens des parkings nous ont déconseillé les autres, risques pour la voiture si elle restait seule la nuit).

Fantastic place and couldn't ask for more. Very responsive host, great location, and good value. A really short walk to the cathedral and downtown. The only complaint we had was there wasn't parking available so you had to park your car in one of the public lots.

Fantastic location super close to all of central Canterbury. Nice clean house, comfy beds and lovely crisp linen. Nice to have tea and coffee laid on. Thank goodness the heating worked well because it was freezing when we stayed and we needed the heating on almost constantly. Would recommend this place for easy access to the town and sights and ease of check in

Great Canterbury location! Close to everything! Well maintained by responsive hosts. Best for four people, but five can fit if the fifth person can easily maneuver a very low bed. We very much enjoyed our stay...even cooked Thanksgiving dinner! We would definitely stay here again!

A quick visit for the weekend this was an ideal place to stay. Very close to the town centre. Fantastic space and very well looked after and updated. Would definitely recommend

Location is brilliant. Immaculately clean. Hosts responsive. The local binder guide was very useful. Helpfully allowed precheck-in bag drop, a saviour during our rainy stay to not roll suitcases around wet cobbled streets. Post-booking was forewarned about downstairs heating issues: this was manageable once we figured out the space heaters, and that the thermostat in the cooler downstairs regulated heating for the whole house, so needed to be turned down to keep upstairs from overheating to compensate.

The location was perfect and house was fine. We unfortunately had issues with the heating and electric. The host tried their best to fix any problems swiftly.

David's house is really close to the main street of canterbury (300m). Everything is like expected and more : enough kitchenware, a well equipped kitchen (except dishwasher), nice bedrooms with a very comfortable king size bed, 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets. Thanks a lot for finding a quick solution for the boiler trouble. We recommend this place, perfect for a family. Last thing, David was right : you must'nt park in the street cause controllers verify the cars several times per day even on sunday... but there's cheap carpark around.

Sarah

We had a fabulous couple of days in the house, it was sparkling clean and very well kitted out. The beds are very comfortable and the whole place feels very homely. The proximity to Canterbury is brilliant, literally a 2 minute walk to the end of the street and you are in Canterbury High Street. We had a great time exploring the city. <br/>We arrived late (around 10pm), stopped outside the house to unload and parked in Pound Lane Car Park a 5 minute walk away. It's free between the hours of 9pm and 7am, so we only started paying after 7am. It cost £1.70 per hour, but was very convenient with plenty of spaces.<br/>I would highly recommend this property.

Great location and hosts were very accomodating when we needed to change date. Place was good but could do with a bit of tlc in places. Heating was a bit flaky and had to open valves on upstairs radiator to get heat but overall fine. Nearest recommended sensible car park is about 13m walk and very cheap at £2.40 for 24hrs.<br/>Main plus point is the location, which is just a couple of minutes walk from the high street and Cathedral. Neighborhood was quiet and we had no problem parking for a few mins to unload the car.

We spent 3 lovely nights here for the August bank holiday weekend.<br/>We were concerned about the parking as the closest car park is 15 mins walk away - this turned out not to be a problem. The walk to and from the car park is along the river and lovely. The location of the cottage to central Canterbury is brilliant and we didn't need the car for the weekend.<br/>The cottage is 2 minute walk from the high street. The cathedral and the Canterbury tales are both within 10 mins walk. They are numerous pubs and restaurants a very short walk away.<br/>The cottage - beautifully set out and perfect for our family of 2 adults, 2 kids.<br/>Little touches everywhere - chocolates for the kids, 2 pillows on every bed (4 on the king), clean linens and towels, hand wash in both bathrooms (which we find to be a rarity) and the Bluetooth speaker in the dining room light!<br/>We brought coffee and were sad to discover we forgot our cafetierre - not a problem as there was one in the kitchen, as well as pretty much anything you would want. The kitchen was stocked with milk, tea, coffee, sugar and condiments.<br/>Use of the back garden, sky movies and Netflix on the TV all added to a great find on airbnb.<br/>Loved it! We'll be back!

La casa está limpia, es muy cómoda y su ubicación es muy céntrica. (tiene un enchufe adaptador que es muy útil)<br/>Se le rompió una tubería a un vecino y cortaron el agua, David hizo lo imposible por solucionarlo y ayudarnos mientras tanto.<br/>Si volvemos a Canterbury seguro que repetiremos.

Great location (though pity about lack of parking - we went with a JustPark space 6 minutes away). Good space. Odd few niggles (perhaps the host should stay there more - the property is managed by a third party and we never had direct comms with David).

Margo

This was an excellent location but the place is shabby and the furniture worn and unattractive. The rugs look old and dirty. There are not very many amenities and when we arrived there was no soap and hardly any coffee. The downstairs smelled musty/mildewy and paint was peeling from the woodwork and walls. The back yard is an overgrown mess. There are hardly any dishes. The upstairs bathroom only has a tub and the shower attachment does not work correctly so that it vacillates between freezing cold and boiling hot water. The toilet seat is loose downstairs. I would not recommend this place.

Chantal

We had a great stay at David’s place. Barbara, who managed the details of our visit was extremely helpful and available at any time had we needed anything. <br/>This was a cheaper option than booking two hotel rooms in the centre of Canterbury and gave us the advantage of having a base to go back to rather than being stuck in hotel rooms. So definitely somewhere we would book again.

Isabel

We hebben een fijne tijd gehad in het huis. Het huis ligt dichtbij het centrum en een mooi parkje. Het huis zelf is van alle gemakken voorzien. Als er een vijfde slaper is moet die op de slaapbank, deze ligt niet zo comfortabel als de bedden maar is voor een paar nachten prima. Het huis is verder van alle gemakken voorzien, vooral de keuken vonden we erg fijn. Dit huis raden we aan!

This was a lovely little home just off the High Street. Perfectly located no more than a 15 minute walk from anywhere you’d like to go in Canterbury (including a Sainsbury’s). The neighborhood is quiet with a primary school just down the street and light traffic. <br/>Barbara was our host on behalf of David and she was always prompt in her replies to our questions and easily reachable. <br/>The house is exactly as picture and includes everything you will need to relax for a few days (including a washer/dryer, a full kitchen and a bath tub).

A very convenient location to explore Canterbury, only a two minute walk to the high street and less than ten minutes to Canterbury West station. Two roomy bedrooms on the first floor (a set of rather steep steps between the floors) with a bath with tub up and a toilet and shower on the ground floor. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Our stay was quite pleasant.

Jennifer

David and Barbara are fabulous hosts. We felt very welcome, well looked after, comfortable and warm. The modern upstairs is a surprise! The beds and bathroom a real treat. Well located for all amenities this property also works very for access into London. We would recommend this property to anyone needing a quiet space but with good facilities. The WiFi was particularly efficient which is a real bonus in Canterbury.

We had a lovely weekend in Canterbury at Davids house. The house itself is very warm and cosy, with everything you need. Parking vouchers for on street were a definite plus. It is just off the main high street, which was the perfect location for sight seeing and evenings out! As it is so close, you do get some noise from groups passing on Friday and Saturdays, but this is to be expected. We would definitely stay here again.

Angela

This AirBnb is located right in the heart of Canterbury just off of Main Street. It’s the absolute perfect location for those who want to be in the thick and thin of it all! The place itself was the perfect amount of space with two full bathrooms and two bedrooms! It was incredibly easy to access and the directions were easy to follow! David and Barbara did an excellent job communication and were quick to respond when I had any questions. It’s only about a 7 minute walk from the train station so it was so convenient for us. The house was also very clean and had a guide for things to do in town which we found incredibly helpful! There’s also Bluetooth sound in the dining area so you can play your favorite tunes while pouring yourself some tea! I would definitely recommend staying here if you want to explore Canterbury!

Michael

The house is in a quiet narrow road. We purchased street parking vouchers from the host. We always found a space, but sometimes parking required careful manouevering.<br/>It is a bit tatty on the outside, but inside has been rennovated throughout with new furniture and appliances. Wifi was good and sky cinema a plus. Barbara, the property manager, responded quickly to messages, and replaced the battery in a beeping smoke alarm<br/>We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

This house is fantastic. Central location, easy to get to by car or by train, within a short walk of the whole of the centre of Canterbury. The house was clean and really nicely decorated, with all of the crockery and glassware we needed. Communication was very quick and easy as well, with responses coming in within an hour and they were accommodating with a late check in. I would go back here again any time.
