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.

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.

Great Location to explore Canterbury

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage but would make the following observations; 1. All of the electrical PAT testing is out of date 2. The BBQ was not clean and available to use 3. In the downstairs shower room, the washbasin is so small it is not really available to be used as a full shower room 4. Overly complicated TV remote controls - 3 of them and not clearly marked which was for each TV/Sky box etc 5. Could not get the TV in the dining are working at all 6. Inconsistencies in the arrival/departure instructions between email, welcome book and blackboard in kitchen eg time of arrival stated as 3pm and 5pm, departure time as 9am/10.30am and 11am. Also parking outside….possible or not possible? The positives however were: 1. Lovely fluffy new M&S towels in the bathrooms 2. Well fitted out kitchen with lots of utensils, pots/pans etc 3. Good location for the centre of town 4. V clean 5. Thank you for sorting parking in Longport car park in advance of our arrival.

Lovely and central with convenient parking

Perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids, aged 2 and 6, having all amenities we needed. The staircase was quite steep, but child gates were available. Car park was a few minutes wall away so we just parked and walked our things over. House and garden are lovely. We had a great time and would stay again.

Peaceful cottage on the edge of the city with easy access to all the local facilities. Excellent communication from Neil from start to finish with all the information provided for our stay and an added bonus is the provision of a car park pass for the nearby Longport car park.

Perfect!

Absolutely loved our stay in St. Augustine's Cottage. Location was fantastic, easy to walk to all of the attractions that Canterbury has to offer. The cottage itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Beautifully furnished with very comfortable beds. The cottage was warm and it was lovely to relax there in the evenings after our trips to the Kent coast. Really appreciated the welcome basket and the added extras, especially the coffee! Thank you Neil and Joanne for your fantastic communication and for enabling us to have a much needed break.

Lovely cottage, ideally located

This is our second stay at the cottage and it continues to deliver. In a city with little parking, the benefit of off-street parking cannot be mistaken. Ideally placed to walk into the City as well as short drives away from the likes of Whitstable and Dover Castle.....we will be looking to stay a third time!
