“Lovely little cottage The semi cottage is a lovely place for 1-2 people to stay for a short visit to Canterbury. I loved the garden outside the window, and everything that one would need was available. Very clean and in a great location to walk to train, bus or downtown area. The sweet cat that visited outside my window was a plus too! The family living in the house was very accommodating when I needed a little help figuring out the lock on the door. Would stay here again.”
