10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Beautiful accommodation in an amazing location. The bedrooms were lovely with lots of cupboard space and the ceiling fans were wonderful in the heat. The living space was very pretty and cosy, perfect for dinners and game nights, and the outside patio area was lovely! Canterbury punting company was just a 2 minute walk, local shop and pretty high-street a 4 minute walk and the cathedral was just an 8 minute walk! The hosts were helpful with any queries and with extending our stay. It’s a beautiful home and we genuinely didn’t want to leave!
