Excellent choix pour ce logement. Il est extrêmement propre, très bien rangé, il possède des rangements suffisants dans chaque chambre. Il a des équipements comme sèche-cheveux, cafetière, bouilloire et toute l’épicerie nécessaire pour débuter son séjour. Il est très facile de garer sa voiture grâce au parking gratuit juste derrière la maison. La maison est située dans une rue calme, dans le centre ville de Canterbury, à 3 min à pied de la rue principale et juste à côté d’un parc. Rachel a toujours été très réactive quand nous avions des questions. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison.

The property was beautifully presented and well equipped with everything our family needed. The central location is perfect for exploring Canterbury on foot and the allocated parking right alongside the property was a real bonus for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We had a wonderful few days staying at Rachel’s property over Easter weekend. Surprised by how big it felt inside. Great to be in a gated area, felt very secure and safe. Quiet at night. Very close to the city centre, a brilliant location near to lovely walks along the river and the fascinating city walls. Rachel was a very helpful, understanding and friendly host. So responsive as well.
I would highly recommend staying at this property!

Amazing stay for family visiting in Canterbury, we enjoyed the lovely terrace outside in the sunshine and had a cuppa every morning from the coffee maker. The bedrooms were spacious and we had the most comfortable nights in Rachel’s place. Would definitely recommend for short stays.

Excellent location. Rachel was very quick to respond with anything and was accommodating and helpful. The place is roomy, comfortable, clean and well stocked. It has great amenities and conveniences. The bedding is nice. The bathrooms are roomy with nice showers and lots of towels. The little cul de sac is very quiet and the parking spot is a great amenity for the location. I imagine the patio is a lovely feature in warm weather too. It’s a very nice spot to stay and good value. I would definitely consider a Polygon Property on our next visit. Thank you Rachel.

Rachel is an excellent host and very responsive. We are a family of four and the house was just the right size as well as being cosy and quaint like the rest of central Canterbury.

The house is brilliantly located close to the High St and Marlowe Theatre. Off street parking and access to the car park is very convenient. The house is equipped with everything you need for an extended stay, including convenient additions like spare clean bedding.

Would strongly recommend. We would certainly stay again.

We had a lovely time in Canterbury staying at Rachel's property. When my wife asked if there was a fan available, Rachel was quick to reply and let us know where to find them. We also very much enjoyed having tea and coffee available after a long day of travel.
