Property was in a lovely spot very close to the hustle and bustle of Canterbury at Christmas… Lovely to have the water running outside the back of the property with a nice spot for tea and coffee which I imagine is even better in the evenings in the summer.Great view from the bedroom window if the weather is nice, you get a sunrise to the left of the cathedral and then again a sunset on the right with a nice clear view directly outside the bedroom window.

Watch the video on how to get the key to get in to the house and everything is easy from there! House was exactly what we needed for five adults. Well equipped, located just two blocks from historic center of town. Easy access. A true 5-star home!

We stayed about 3 weeks here as a family of 6. The house was very comfortable. We would use the couch bed to have movie nights, the bathtub for bubble baths and we all slept well on the comfortable beds. The location was great, we didn’t have a car for our stay and we were able to walk to and from everything we needed, including the train station. Rachel was very responsive with all our needs and helpful in answering all the questions I had. The guidebook they provided came in handy often as well. Great host and accommodation.

We stayed at The Marlowe for a total of three weeks and loved it! In a beautiful street, just on the edge of the town centre, opposite an orchard by the river, it was peaceful yet very accessible.
Rachel was very attentive and communicated well before and throughout our stay as needed- nothing was too much trouble.
There were 4 adults in our party and we were very comfortable. My 88 year old mother was fine in the two floor house, made easier by the additional bathroom downstairs. We loved everything but particularly the garden and the private parking. We will be back!

Great place to stay in Canterbury for family or couples. Easy to get in and private secure parking. Plenty of room and very nicely appointed with good kitchen. Great hosts who were very proactive about ensuring we had everything we need, plus they provided lots of useful help and video clips to make check in and use of facilities easy. Plus they provided lots of little extras such as tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, plus plenty of dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Very close to centre of town and also cricket ground if you want to go watch a match as we did. Lots of restaurants to choose from in town plus a couple of good ones very close by. Lots of see in Canterbury and surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

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!
