About this house rental

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.

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.

Wonderful experience apart from two items that might have been helpful to know in advance: parking at a distance due to challenges accessing the property by road; the precipitous stair case which would be a significant challenge to anyone with even slight mobility challenges. However property wonderful; hosts very attentive.

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.

Well-stocked, great location (you can see Canterbury Cathedral spires from the front garden), charming decor and spacious floor plan easily sleeps four or five. My kids loved the extras (X-box with plenty of offline games), and my wife and I enjoyed watching some DVD’s from the owner’s collection, including the Spielberg classic ET, on the widescreen TV in the parlor. Warm gas fireplace in parlor and instructions on how to use. Much better option than any local hotel!

It was a great experience for our week in Canterbury. Easy walking to so many things, including train station only 17 minute walk. The rooms were comfortable and visually calming and if we needed anything the grocery store was 5 minutes away. The best part was the owner had quick response especially when the power went out one night. Totally would stay again if need be.

Great Location to explore Canterbury

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.

This is a typical 150 year old English flat, total of about 15’ wide. Steep stairs is an understatement. The bathroom situation is very awkward. Not good for two couples. This unit would also be difficult for elderly. It is dated and tied. It works, but know what your getting. Location is convenient.

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.

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.

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!

The property was exactly as advertised and equipped to meet all our needs during the 12 day stay. Neil was very responsive in providing helpful suggestions, particularly for restaurants (the Corner House is indeed very good and the blood pudding wrapped Scotch Eggs were truly excellent). The 10 minute access to the heart of Canterbury allowed for easy and safe enjoyment of the town. The parking was an additional bonus for friends who visited with us. They were equally impressed with the property.

The cottage was lovely, cosy and well equipped. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room, the bedrooms are spacious with good beds and the sofa bed was also comfy. I loved the roll top bathtub! The kitchen was very well equipped to cook our Easter lunch, and the garden a real treat in the sunshine. The place is very convenient to explore Canterbury, only 5’ walk from the Roman walls and 15’ from the Cathedral - also, it’s close to the bus station to get around the rest of Kent easily. Neil was a very responsive host and we loved the chocolates and wine we found on arrival. Definitely recommended for a family stay!
