I thoroughly enjoyed my few days in The Stable Annexe. Mick and Pam were extremely, welcoming, friendly and hospitable. The annexe itself is very spacious and comfortable and a pleasant 15-minute walk from 'The Marlowe'. The 'welcome pack' of milk, bread, etc. is a very thoughtful and welcome bonus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you...

I had a great stay at the Stable Annexe!
In a convenient location with a super straight forward and easy 20ish minute walk to the Marlowe Theatre and Canterbury high street.
Pam and Mick were excellent, attentive hosts and extremely helpful and friendly!
The digs itself was well equipped and accurate to the listing. I would love to stay here again if I ever got the chance! Thanks so much for having me!

I had a lovely stay in 'The Stable' It was very clean and comfy, had good amenities and was in a decent location to get to the Marlowe. Pam and her husband were friendly and welcoming. If I had a small niggle it was the size of the single duvets felt a bit small (I am quite a big chap though!) Would stay again
20th May 2026
Great digs in a quiet location with a nice and easy 20min walk to the theatre.

Great. Thanks Lewis. I'll bear your comments in mind .
All the very best, Pam.
Really nice place - felt very private! Great communication, and a lovely touch of getting picked up from the station.

Thanks Kai
I had a lovely stay at the Stable Annexe. Only a 20ish minute walk to the Marlowe so it’s in a good location. You get privacy and I was picked up from Canterbury West station when I arrive which was a lovely add on. I would definitely stay here again.

A lovely two weeks here, peaceful and comfortable and a pleasant walk or easy cycle to the theatre. Everything you need and lovely to have a private space. Thank you and hope to see you again in the future

Pamela is a lovely, welcoming host. The house is filled with history and the converted stable you stay in is quiet and private. Limited cooking facilities, but Deliveroo will come to you very promptly. Good bathroom facilities and very comfy beds. A 30 min walk back from the Marlowe Theatre, would be a nice walk in summer but after doing it once on my own in the dark I chose to get ubers (around £9 per journey). Great location if you're looking for peace and quiet.

I had a great stay in Canterbury. We had lovely weather the 2 weeks we were here and I enjoyed the 20/25min walk to the theatre. Parking in Canterbury is very expensive so I was grateful for the free parking at the digs.
Pam was lovely and welcoming but she also left me to it with my unsociable schedule. Lovely homely feeling when being away from home a lot on tour.
Kitchen Facilities include a fridge & microwave. I tour with my own air fryer so that was useful for these two weeks!
23rd Apr 2025
Thanks Fiona. Glad all was ok.
One of the best digs I’ve stayed in! Pam was great - would definitely stay here again!
21st Apr 2025
Thanks, Kieran. It was great to meet you. All the best.
Lovely digs! I really enjoyed my week at the Stables Annexe. Lovely and warm, clean and tidy and a very welcome 'Welcome Pack' of milk, tea, coffee, croissants and so forth made for a great week at The Marlowe. The Annexe is a pleasant walk into town and the privacy of one's own front door also helped make this a very enjoyable week. Pam and Mick were very accommodating when my travel plans changed, the perfect hosts. Thank you for having me.

I had a comfortable stay at the Stable Annexe, the underfloor heating was brilliant and kept the place consistently warm while it was baltic. The beds are comfy and the blinds do a good job of keeping the room dark at night. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful, it is an easy 20/25 minute, main road walk into town for the Marlowe and a similar distance to Aldi. Pamela was very lovely and offered me lifts both too and from the station.
They also allowed me to do my laundry which was great

Thank you, Hugh, I'm so glad you had a comfortable stay.
I had a lovely stay at The Stable, had everything I needed. Pam and Mick were great hosts, very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely be recommending them.

Lovely stay in the Stable. Very clean, peaceful, 20 mins easy walk to the theatre and a great shower! Pam and Tom are lovely, friendly but never intrusive. The kitchen isn’t fully equipped - no oven or hob, but was fine for me. I was very comfortable and would stay again.
Thanks for your wonderful hospitality!

Samuel was a wonderful guest, very pleasant and thoughtful. He left everything clean and tidy and kept me informed of his arrival and departure times. I'm very pleased to hear that he enjoyed his stay.
Such a lovely stay in a great city! It's a nice 25min walk down town to the theatre and is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Canterbury!

Pam & Mick were charming hosts - and the Stables was excellent in every way.
If I know I’m ever coming to Canterbury again, I will book this as advance as possible. Highly recommend.
