Property was great. We were not expecting that we had three levels. Bathroom is on first level. Living area and kitchen on second level and bathroom and two bedrooms on third level. Owner was quick to respond and helpful.

We had a great stay at the Firehouse. The property was outside of the busy-ness of the tourist center, but close enough for an easy walk. The hosts were extremely helpful with their communication, and generous enough to let us drop off our luggage before our official check-in time so that we could start our tour of the area. The property was clean and a great value.

Really good comfortable property and only 5 minute walk from the centre of Canterbury and 20 mins from the excellent Whitstable.

Beautiful building with lovely personal touches. Comfy beds and spacious rooms. Sadly limited cleaning resources (no jay cloths, anti-bac spray, surface cleaner etc) which seems important right now - but maybe we should have thought more about bringing our own!

The listing is accurate. The second bedroom's bath is located two floors below the bedroom, but the first bedroom is an en suite. There is a short walk to downtown, but that does mean the property is in a quiet location. We did have some issues connecting to Wifi, but the host was quick to respond and fixed all issues. Overall, a good place to stay for a visit to Canterbury if you're looking for multiple bed/baths.

Great location - a short walk to the historic centre of Canterbury with off street parking for 1 family car. Website states three bedrooms, but is actually two bedrooms plus a lounge with (double) sofabed. (See pictures). Nice touch for complementary tea/coffee and milk. Good communication with owners. Enjoyable stay - would stay again.

We spent a week in the Old Fire Station in Canterbury and really enjoyed it. It is probably the best equiped holiday home we experienced with many small details (books, games, different cereals, tea sortiment etc.) making our stay very pleasent. It is clean and furnished tastefully. We would love to come back again. Many thanks!

The property suited us just fine - it was comfortable and well equipped and everything clean. A short walk into Canterbury which was ideal. Sebastian and Adelle were very helpful and communicated well. It was good to have some basic ingredients, selections of tea, coffee etc left for us as well as a welcome pack.This image is not of the Arthouse but of the house adjoining which is misleading. The Arthouse has a large number of stairs which should be pointed out - it is a tall thin building. We had 2 cars which was a challenge as there was only room for parking one car and not much room on the street parking. Also it was better to reverse into the passageway on arrival as reversing out of it onto a very busy road is difficult.
