About this house rental
Welcome to Watling House!
Watling House is a 19th century period property designed for modern family living. We are located in the quiet village of Bridge around 3 miles from the historic city of Canterbury. Our village is a great base for country walks in the Kent Downs with plenty of local amenities (and pubs!) or for a visit into Canterbury for it's history and vibrant nightlife.
Watling House is perfect for families or groups of friends with free parking at the property.
Watling House sits over three floors and is perfect for a relaxing trip to the countryside. Whether you are entertaining in the open living / dining areas or relaxing by the fire, you will have everything you need for a great stay!
The property benefits from modern amenities such as:
- Wine Fridge
- Nespresso Machine
- Instant Boiling Water Tap
- Bluetooth Speaker
- Sky Q (plus sport & movies) in kitchen, lounge and master bedroom.
- Cole & Lewis London toiletries
- Dishwasher
- Outdoor dining
- Luxury stone bath
- Woodburning Fire
- BBQ
We have four cosy double bedrooms - two with king size beds. You can choose from two large living spaces or the separate dining room. Enjoy the garden and patio area from the kitchen / living area, opening the large doors to let the outside in!
Why visit Watling House...
- Fantastic walks in an area of outstanding natural beauty
- Lots of local amenities on your doorstep - three village pubs, local shop, butchers and a frequent bus service into Canterbury (approx 10 mins).
- Close to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Visit the Cathedral, Canterbury Tales and the historic city walls.
- You can nip up to London on the UK's first highspeed service from Canterbury West (approx 55 mins) or a day trip to France (approx 20 mins from the Port of Dover and the Channel Crossing).
We haven't been able to list all of the great things to do in the area but can always tell you more... we would recommend a trip to one of the local Kentish vineyards for some famous English Fizz!

Amazing stay
We were a group of friends that spent the weekend together. The property had everything we could possibly want and we felt like we were in a hotel with the amazing toiletries and dressing gowns and slippers. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and the whole place was just so beautiful. We loved the zen corner in the garden. It was just perfect. The host was amazing and so helpful with everything. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

Long relaxing weekend not far from London
We booked this property not actually knowing we'd be able to actually use it, as the rules around lockdown hadn't yet lifted. Abi was super flexible on this in the event that we weren't able to travel.
This is a lovely modern property, beautifully decorated and very comfortable, in the quaint little village of Bridge just off the A2, easily accessible from London. We were two families with 3 kids between us. Ample space for the kids and adults to spread out. If we weren't out exploring the local area, we were in the garden in the sunshine. Abi permitted us to bring our paddling pool, good thing as well, we were blessed with glorious sunshine and heat for the 4 days we were there.
We ate outside every evening but enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which by the way has everything you could possibly need. We also bbq'd a couple of times. The bedrooms and beds were super comfy, and Abi provided extra fans due to the excessive heat.
Abi was available for all my questions leading up to our stay, Abi even left lollies in the freezer for the kids and a bottle of wine and biscuits for the adults which we thought was a lovely and thoughtful gesture for our stay.
We would recommend Watling House for a family stay or even just with friends. With 4 decent sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, two lounge areas both with TV's, big kitchen and outdoor space, this carefully restored property is a must is any season.

Beautiful House
Stayed for 2 nights here with family, including 20 mth old. House is gorgeous with everything you could possibly want. Lots of lovely touches and quality equipment. Garden was safe for the little one and park nearby. Only slight issue was slightly noisy on main road although back rooms were fine.
Would highly recommend! Thanks Abi!

Clean, peaceful and beautifully presented
I stayed at this lovely cottage to celebrate my friends birthday. All rooms and appliances were clean and neatly prepared for us. The beds were very comfortable, and the spa robes and slippers provided were a lovely touch! There was an electric cut (we think triggered by the toaster) and Abi's dad kindly popped round very quickly to get us back online. Overall the cottage had everything you need for a comfortable stay so would recommend and hopefully come back. I've given 4* as it would be great to have a dedicated parking space for the cottage.

Bridge nicer than I thought it would be!!!
This place is extremely convenient to travel to Canterbury. The garden is lovely and the beds are comfortable. The home was decorated in a very nice manner. If you are not use to traffic the road is a little loud!
