We loved the quirkiness. It created a fabulous atmosphere for our dinner party one night. It was 100 metres from the high street👍🏻 Comfy beds and quiet. Great communication and little extras were left for us.

Fantastic location on a nice quiet street but just a very short stroll from the main street. The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

The house is beautifully done, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s right behind the park and river—any closer to the city centre and it wouldn’t be nearly as quiet or peaceful, but it truly is. The little garden is the perfect spot to sit...

Company information

I have lived in Canterbury for 13 years (just down the road from Grove Cottage) and I absolutely love this city. I love how it is small enough to explore on foot and how it has something for everyone. Having come from an NHS health service career, I transferred my people-pleasing and perfectionism into hospitality! I have 2 young children and also love dogs so I am well-placed to advise on child- and pet-friendly places to visit in Kent. Also check out Grove Cottage Canterbury (sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms) - the sister property to St. Stephen's Cottage Canterbury and is also listed on booking dot com.

Neighbourhood information

This is a quiet & peaceful residential street, and as such (in my opinion) is the quietest residential street you can live on without actually being in the City Centre. It is very close to the High Street/City Centre, the major attractions of the Canterbury Cathedral/Marlowe Theatre/Westgate Gardens, convenience stores, ATM machines and supermarkets. Grove Cottage is a 800 sq. ft., Victorian Terrace in a row of Victorian terraces. These date back to the early 20th century and fall within Canterbury's conservation zone due to the historical character of the area and the proximity to the UNESCO world heritage sites. The property has been respectfully and updated whilst being lovingly preserved.
