Another excellent stay here - a definite repeat booking for me when at The Marlowe (15 min walk away). Comfy, quiet, all the amenities you need and on street parking - superb!!
8th Feb 2026
A great room with a lovely en-suite. Free on-street parking is a major bonus in Canterbury, and the 20min walk into town is really simple. I would definitely stay again.
25th Nov 2025
A lovely stay here. A great room and a nice walk into the theatre. I will happily stay here again

Wonderful house! Had everything I needed in the attic room with lots of space and privacy. Also the dyson fan was a luxury! Really enjoyed my stay thank you
15th Jun 2025
Don't look any further! These have to be some of the best digs in the country. An easy 20 walk to the theatre and on a good bus route if you don't fancy the walk. The room was so lovely, with a very comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. The house itself is beautiful and Derrie added lots of little extra touches to make this so comfortable, exactly what a touring actor needs. And the price is phenomenal! Book it now! You won't regret it.
21st Apr 2025

16th Apr 2025
Derrie was the perfect host. The Attic Room was absolutely spotless, as were the communal areas. It was just the perfect stay! Thank you Derrie! A 12-minute walk to The Marlowe is a 12-minute walk, so easy to stroll into work

One of the better digs on this mad-caped tour. Easy to the Marlowe, super quiet and respectful. Comfy bed and very nice shower. Little tight in the attic for a large guy but I survived. Such a nice helpful host. I’d gladly go back. (Maybe wear a 🪖?) I got use to the walls eventually. Too nice not to go back.
