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.
5.0
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.
4.0
Really good comfortable property and only 5 minute walk from the centre of Canterbury and 20 mins from the excellent Whitstable.
4.0
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!
4.0
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.
4.0
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.
5.0
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!
4.0
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.
4.0
We loved the city and the location of the ArtHouse is excellent. But we are old and were unprepared for all the steps especially from the bedroom (number two) to the bath (two big! flights)...... We thought the listing was deceptive and we thought we were going to be in the more modern accommodations with fewer steps. We thought the house was clean and very neat, a few clothes hooks and towel racks in the bathrooms would help a lot. All in all, we loved it and would recommend if you pay attention to the steps and know what you are getting into. Owner is very responsive to concerns!
5.0
Loved our 3 nights here. Super clean and spacious. Lots of nice touches like the Xmas tree and welcome pack of chocolates and beer.
Short stroll to the town and cathedral.
would definitely recommend.
2.5
We really enjoy our stay at the Old firestation, great location and everything you could need for a stay. It was really comfy and warm. Adelle and Sebastian were easy to contact, helpful and very welcoming.

We rented the Arthouse for our extended family visiting for our wedding. They were coming for the whole week and as a large group it had been tricky to find suitable accommodation in a central location for a reasonable price. From the beginning of our contact with the Sebastian and Adelle we were very impressed. They were approachable, friendly and accommodating. The property itself is very bright, airy and surprisingly quiet even though it's located on a busy road. Our family found it very comfortable and spacious and given they were unfamiliar with Canterbury the location was absolutely perfect! We also live just around the corner so that was a great added bonus for us.
We would highly recommend the Arthouse to anyone visiting Canterbury, whether you're a group of friends or a family.
Many thanks Sebastian and Adelle for your hospitality!

We were met by Adele as we arrived and she took us through the apartment and answered all questions. She was most helpful. The apartment was bright, clean and roomy. It was just what we were looking for to use as a good base for our day trips throughout Kent.
We'd be happy to stay here again.
5.0
This is a spacious well-equipped house which is a short walk to the many delights of Canterbury, with its wide range of pubs and restaurants. Having its own parking space on the property meant we could happily forget about the car during our stay.
The owners had thoughtfully provided some essential provisions, greeted us on arrival and waved us goodbye.
I would recommend this property and would expect to stay here again in the future.
5.0
Everything about the house was great - well equipped, clean and comfortable. It was perfect for a family of five. The proximity to the city centre is fab too, easily walkable, even with small children.
5.0
Enjoyed a weeks stay in Canterbury at the Art House. The property is well situated being close to the centre of the city and enjoys secure car parking which was essential for us.
4.0
We really liked the property. Although we did not notice during booking that the property was not on ground floor, which was inconvient for my parents, the house itself had everything we needed. Very clean, everything as described, good service and wam welcome from the owner. We were very happy to have our car parked behind the gates. The 5 minute walk into town was a pleasantone and bus stops are just a footstep away. Great place to stay and explore Kent, London and Canterbury itself.
4.0
Great place for a short break in Canterbury. The property was clean and as described on the homepage. More then enough space for a family of 4-5 people. It is just a few minutes walk to the town centre and the contact to the owner was also great.
5.0
It is a lovely place. The rooms are big and clean and there is a tv set in each of the rooms. The house is also close to the most interesting areas in Canterbury.
4.0
The property is very centrally located just a few minutes walk from the center
of town. Everything we needed was there, clean and ready on arrival. Sebastian
was helpful and responsive to our questions (and we had a few since we are relocating to the area). We'd recommend this property unreservedly.
4.0
Nice property with great location for exploring Canterbury. Well equipped for self-catering, nice furnishings, well maintained. Lots of stairs--the entry is into an unheated hallway, all the living space is one and two levels up. Our only complaints were a couple of ill-fitted windows that rattled with strong wind and allowed a cold draft to enter.
5.0
We were a party of 4 adults and we all really enjoyed our stay. The property is in a great location, just a few minutes walk to the town centre. Our apartment was full of character with very good facilities. This is lots to do in and around Canterbury and with buses and two train stations close by you could certainly get by without a car. Friendly owners, a good choice of Pubs and Restaurants close by and interesting accommodation - what's not to like?
