Family Weekend Away
This is a great alternative to a city centre hotel, the cottage is very clean, quiet and within a short walk to all the attractions of Canterbury. I stayed with my wife and 2 children and we had all we needed for the weekend. Lindsay was a great host and communication was quick. We had no issues at all during our stay and would recommend this cottage.

Excellent location for walking Canterbury
Wonderful location, suitable for 2 adults and up to 2 children. One caveat, do not use Google maps to try to find it, it will lead you down the wrong laneway. It's within walking distance to the train station, a real plus if you do not have a car.

A great stay!
This was a most enjoyable stay, the cottage was compact and furnished to a high standard, very comfortable, and very close to the city centre and railway station. And communication with our Host, Lindsay, was excellent. Highly recommended! Mal and Mary, December 2023

Canterbury Cottage Stay
Steam Packet Cottage is in an excellent location very near the Westgate, in easy walking distance from the whole center. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed, and we only grumbled about the very cramped toilet. The only other challenge was parking. We chose to park a 12 minute walk away at Sainsbury’s, the best deal. Overall we were very pleased with our cottage and our stay.

A Great Little Packet
The Steam Packet Cottage is a wonderful apartment, equisitely clean with modern facilities. Conveniently located just outside the main old gate of Canterbury it's just minutes from all the important sites in this charming city. Checkin was easy, efficient and communication with the owner swift and clear.

Sehr gemütlich und tolle Lage
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Schön eingerichtet. Ideale Lage direkt am Stadtzentrum. Die Kathedrale ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Duschen ist eher ein Abendteuer, aber möglich (eng, kaum Wasser wenn sonst noch irgendwo Wasser entnommen wird, Temperaturschwankungen). Man kann bei den aktuellen Preisen viel Geld sparen, wenn man nicht gegenüber wie empfohlen, sondern Station Road West Multi Storey Car Park parkt (Oberdeck).
