Exceptional city centre period cottage
A wonderful house, perfectly placed to explore Canterbury. The house had everything we needed to make our stay really special. Simon was an excellent host and was really helpful. We highly recommend a stay in this beautiful house.

200 Year Old Barn. 4 guests. 2 lge beds/1 sofa bed
I recommend this place! Despite the distance from the center, there is everything you need nearby: a grocery, bus stop. A huge plus is that the place is in a quiet location with great calm neighbors. The hostess is a wonderful woman with a wonderful family, very responsive, always helped with everything. I would come back again and again, as I have only good memories.

Charming Cottage, free parking, in city walls.
I have stayed in AirBnBs all around the world, and this one was my favorite! Perfect location, very nice interior and bedding, adorable patio, and personable hosts. Highly recommended!

Stunning 4 bedroom townhouse in central Canterbury
A comfy, clean and central location. Good for a family with teens. We had everything we needed and communication was prompt. Enjoyed a day trip to Dover Castle and Mass downtown. Very easy to get to by foot. Thank you for a lovely stay! May God bless you!

self-contained studio Annexe
The Annex is spacious, airy and comfortable. It's close to a bus stop but a walkable distance from the city centre. Dawn is a very responsive, considerate host. I very much enjoyed my stay.

Little Yurt Retreat; Tiny Home, Snug, City Centre!
What can I say. Other than simply perfect. Natalie and Peter went truly above and beyond. The place was decorated so nicely for my 30th birthday. Everywhere was clean, and simply breath taking. Nothing was too much, I even had a blister and Natalie went and got me some plasters. The yurt is stunning, the little Annex you get with it was so lovely just to chill and watch tv in. The outdoor bath was perfect to sit and chill and look up at the stars. I’ve never experienced an air BnB like I did this weekend, it was one of a kind. I definitely will be going back! X

2-Bedroom apt in prime location + stunning views
We had an amazing stay! The flat was incredibly beautiful, clean and comfortable and in the perfect location. The host was helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend!

Kent Shepherds Hut - Romantic Escape -Willows Rest
Where do I start! This incredible AirBnB is so private, peaceful, and romantic. So much so that I chose to propose to my girlfriend here! The cabin itself is well equipped and beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed, nice bathroom/shower, kitchen and log fire. It is on a large pond, surrounded by willow trees and nature including herons, ducks, fish, goats and chickens. It has a lovely outside snugg, surrounded by fairy lights and blankets. You can really get away from it all and it feels very private. Victoria truly went above and beyond to make sure that my proposal went as smoothly and romantically as possible. From receiving deliveries and setting up flowers, rose petals and balloons. To playing music on arrival and helping with logistics to keep the whole thing a surprise. If there was an award for best host I would nominate Victoria 😆 she truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be back for an anniversary or two!
