A great stay!

This was a most enjoyable stay, the cottage was compact and furnished to a high standard, very comfortable, and very close to the city centre and railway station. And communication with our Host, Lindsay, was excellent. Highly recommended! Mal and Mary, December 2023

Canterbury Cottage Stay

Steam Packet Cottage is in an excellent location very near the Westgate, in easy walking distance from the whole center. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed, and we only grumbled about the very cramped toilet. The only other challenge was parking. We chose to park a 12 minute walk away at Sainsbury’s, the best deal. Overall we were very pleased with our cottage and our stay.

Sehr gemütlich und tolle Lage

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Schön eingerichtet. Ideale Lage direkt am Stadtzentrum. Die Kathedrale ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Duschen ist eher ein Abendteuer, aber möglich (eng, kaum Wasser wenn sonst noch irgendwo Wasser entnommen wird, Temperaturschwankungen). Man kann bei den aktuellen Preisen viel Geld sparen, wenn man nicht gegenüber wie empfohlen, sondern Station Road West Multi Storey Car Park parkt (Oberdeck).
