Charming 2 bed cottage in the heart of Canterbury with parking nearby
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.

Parking is off site but close by. Parking permit was organised by the owner. Grocery shopping walkable nearby. Very central for Canterbury town Center.
Lovely little Gem . In the heart of the city but so quite.
Had a fab time. The property was perfect for us. Beds amazingly comfortable. Fab location central to everything but nicely tucked away. Would certainly use again.
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.
A return visit to this lovely cottage in the heart of Canterbury ! Neil was very helpful and left us a wonderful welcome pack

Its overall charm, location and excellent facilities.
Steep stairs to upper floor and bath/shower arrangements in en-suite not ideal for elderly visitors.
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.

Life at the Augustines was wonderful and truly loved the welcome basket.
It was such a pleasure renting St Augustines Cottage.Everything worked perfectly and the owners we a delight to work with. 'The beds were soooo comphy, and we cold walk everywhere. Great eateries on every corner, and fabulous friendly for asking directions for cafes of a food store.

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!
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.
Excellent accommodation. Ample room for family of five and its pet friendly. Nice little garden at back. Neil arranged parking at nearby car park. Close to town centre everything within walking distance
Für unseren 1-wöchigen Urlaub (4 Pers. + Hund) war das Haus optimal. Bei der Ausstattung hat nichts gefehlt, alles war wie beschrieben. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns direkt nach der Ankunft wohlgefühlt. Der Garten ist eingezäunt, so dass unser Hund frei laufen konnte. Der Parkplatz (überwacht u. ca. 200 m entfernt) wurde vom Vermieter organisiert und bezahlt. Ruhige Lage nahe der Stadtmitte, Supermarkt (Waitrose) in der Nähe zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war freundlich und sehr nett. Die Reaktion auf Anfragen erfolgte innerhalb kurzer Zeit (wenige Stunden). Vielen Dank für eure Gastfreundschaft!
Estuvimos muy agusto en esta casa, en nuestro caso éramos una familia. Pudimos disfrutar algún día desayunando en el jardín, y tuvimos una estancia muy agradable. Lo recomendaría sin duda.
El propietario nos facilitó un aparcamiento cercano.
Loved the place. Loved the location. Loved the Host. Great location to go in and out of London by train for day trips yet enjoy the culture of a small city rich w history. Fabulous! TY Neil. We love The Augustine House!
