2 Bed in Canterbury (oc-ct030)

Westgate Cottage, near Westgate Towers at the end of glorious medieval Canterbury's lively main high street, has everything this wonderful cathedral city has to offer on its doorstep, with the added bonus of its own parking and leafy courtyard garden and Westgate Garden, with its riverside walks, opposite. The cottage is a Georgian terraced worker's cottage retaining some of its original features. It sleeps 4 in delightful double and twin bedrooms and has been sympathetically restored. This perfect little central hideaway has been tastefully furnished and decorated to a high standard. There is no end to the range of activities available from this great location: from the city's wide choice of restaurants, majestic Canterbury Cathedral, the Marlowe Theatre, museums and galleries, to a diverse shopping experience and the historic atmosphere the beautiful buildings generate. Boating on the Stour River (which runs through the centre of Canterbury), cycle paths and fishing along the Great Stour way (which leads to Chartham and beyond), or walking within the city walls and gardens is a must. There are many quintessential Kent villages surrounding Canterbury: perfect for a wander and afternoon tea; wine-tasting in one of several vineyards; or lunch in an old 16th Century pub. The popular seaside town of Whitstable, with its pebble beaches, original Fisherman's shacks on the harbour, and independent shops and galleries is just 20 minutes drive away.
