May is very friendly and her home is super close to the theatre, 5 mins walk. Room was beautiful and bed very cosy. Worth noting that children do stay here at times and so I was woken at 6am despite her efforts to keep them quiet.The kitchen and living room are not like the photo's as have a lot of children's toys and snacks. All that said - it is a lovely place and I do recommend it.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for your lovely comments about your stay—it really means a lot.
I’m very sorry for the early disturbance and any inconvenience caused. I completely understand how important a good night’s sleep is, and I appreciate your understanding.
Thank you also for your helpful feedback regarding the shared spaces. I will make sure to update my listing description and photos to better reflect the family environment, and to ensure future guests are fully aware.
It was a pleasure to stay with May Lin, who was a friendly, helpful host. A very short walk away from the theatre, the house was un a quiet mews and the top floor room was bright and airy, with its own en suite bathroom. Thanks very much for making my visit to Canterbury so pleasant.

Had a lovely chilled stay at these digs. Cosy, clean, comfy and quiet with a great ensuite bathroom. The host was very
relaxed and it's just five minutes
to the theatre. Would highly recommend these digs.

May was lovely to stay with and the house was always clean and tidy. Full use of the kitchen including oven and air fryer as well as space in the fridge and freezer if needed. Only a short 10 minute walk to the theatre and plenty of coffee shops nearby to keep you occupied. May provided help with finding local food shops and visitor attractions. There was some issues with the boiler / heating whilst I was there and no WiFi but they were in the process of being sorted out. Great value and lovely!

23rd Sep 2024
May's house was very comfortable and in a fantastic location from the theatre, with an easy walk back after the show. May was great with communication - overall would highly recommend!
17th Sep 2024
Lovely room, en suite and view of the cathedral. No wifi was a little frustrating at times but it didn’t impact my stay too much.
9th Sep 2024
A lovely stay in a lovely home. May Lin was really helpful and communicative and went out of her way to make sure I could stay one more day than I had booked. The accommodation was a quick walk to the theatre but in a very quiet tucked away location. Would highly recommend!
2nd Aug 2024
May’s home was the perfect place to stay whilst in Canterbury, she was really helpful with checkin and really responsive to my messages. Super easy to walk into the town centre and easy to get to the theatre. Thank you for having me stay!
2nd Aug 2024
Had a lovely stay here with May whilst at the Marlowe Theatre. The ensuite twin room was quiet and clean, and up in the roof out of the way. It had low sloping ceilings, which wasn't an issue for me, but might be something to consider if you're tall. A short 5 minute walk to the theatre. Would gladly stay again, thanks!

Thank you Craig. Was a pleasure to host you.
Lovely digs in a family home. Would recommend as a very short and safe walk to the Marlowe Theatre. Room was very fresh, and the ensuite was a great addition. Would have loved to have some wifi included in the price but this is clearly marked and was not a major issue. Heads up for drivers - very narrow roads in Canterbury and some twisty back roads. Everything is in walking distance, including the train station (Canterbury West) and the main shops through the tower gate.

Had a pleasant stay with May Lin. Cooking facilities meant it was easy to prepare meals with plenty of fridge space. The best thing has got to be the location, what a fantastic place. The house was only a 5 min walk door to door from The Marlow, absolutely perfect with a super cute river a stones throw away which was really lovely to walk along between shows. May even provided a heater incase I got cold in the room. Bed was super comfy.
