House holiday rentals in Canterbury

What a fantastic stay we had! This place is more than just a caravan. It felt like home from home. Such a spacious, comfortable and all round perfect place to stay. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. The host was responsive and even came to the caravan to help us with some things when we arrived. Very close to whitstable, Hearn bay and not far from Broadstairs we visited them all. We will definitely be back.

This is the second time we have stayed at Corrina’s holiday home and once again we found it to be squeaky clean, very well equipped, peaceful and a great location. The garden is home to a family of foxes, who were so confident, that they sunbathed on the lawn whilst we were sitting on the veranda. Corrina made us aware of check in details in very good time and left a number just in case we needed assistance, which I’m happy to say we didn’t need. The surrounding area is so lush and green, this time of year, and there is always plenty of interesting things to do nearby. We will visit again next year, but hopefully for longer this time. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay here, Nick was an excellent host, greeted us on arrival and very helpful with local info. Nick responded almost immediately to messages and had the pool ready for us to use as and when we requested. The kids had so much fun in the pool, the floats and toys left out to use were an added bonus! House was spotless and perfectly equipped. Would definitely Recommend and would happily return. Thanks for a great stay

We absolutely loved our stay and will be booking again. The space was clean, warm and very spacious up and downstairs. The design and decor was on another level. We couldn’t get over the beautiful chandelier. We were greeted with fruits and milk on arrival in the large kitchen. Ahead of our journey we were given clear directions to the property. Access was easy and there were clear instructions for the sauna, pool etc. We used the sauna daily. It’s was huge and looked brand new. We were be able to watch the kids swim in the pool from the sauna. The kids absolutely loved the pool and took every opportunity day and night to swim. It really was a bonus to have our own pool. 5 of us stayed for a week and there was enough space in the fridge and freezer for all of our food. I have already recommended the space to my friends.

Perfect little getaway for myself and the family, very nicely kept and was exactly as described. This is the second time we have stayed and it was perfect again, would recommend

I stayed for my 30th birthday celebrations and had the best time ever. This place was perfect! the decor, the location, the surroundings and most importantly Karen and her husband was so friendly and lovely and ensured I had a special birthday. I’ve stayed at Airbnb’s before and I’ve never had a host as lovely as Karen was, the perfect host we could have wish for. The swimming pool was amazing and me and my family had a wonderful time enjoying it in the sun with a BBQ. The cottage was spotless and a welcome hamper was provided and every little detail was perfect. The garden area was beautiful through out the day and so peaceful and relaxing. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, it was truly perfect and I will definitely be staying again and recommending to everyone I know! Thank you again for making it such a special birthday x

We were very impressed on arrival. Lovely peaceful grounds, pool bigger than we’d expected and great games area. Good place to stay with our extended family, good central location, really enjoyed nearby Canterbury. We were lucky with the weather. We visited Howletts zoo & 2 different sea-sides. The house is quite warm, it’s great fans are provided in all bedrooms. Improvements- Need better extraction for the kitchen- & update the book on what to do if the smoke alarm goes off! The agency were quick to help but with poor phone signal this was tricky to arrange. Bigger beds/ new mattresses Downstairs loo had no toilet lid Other reviews mentioned cobwebs & the place seeming a bit ‘tired’, I’d agree with some of that but it didn’t stop us having a wonderful time & a few cobwebs don’t bother me, everything else was clean and we’d love to return .

This was our second visit to the Lighthouse and it still is an amazing place, from the panoramic sea views to a lovely warm inviting home. A dip in the pool before breakfast, sitting with a coffee watching the seascape, as far as Essex and beyond, sunsets and so much more. I will make the same comment as I did last, this goes for the whole of our party across 3 generations and the dogs, the only bad thing about the Lighthouse is having to leave. Hopefully this will not be our last visit.

This is without doubt the most stunning place I have ever stayed in through Airbnb. The cottage has recently been renovated to an extremely high standard and every detail is perfect and has been carefully thought through. It is comfortable and luxurious but still homely and stocked with everything you need for a home from home stay! It is also in a fantastic location - only a 2 minute walk to the seafront and the town centre. I could not recommend it more highly. Belinda was also extremely helpful and welcoming and very responsive to messages. 11/10! We will definitely be back! thank you Belinda and Thierry.

Our large family loved staying at Euan’s place! My kids loved the locations—they could go get food themselves. Super easy to get what you need with a butcher, baker, grocers (and prob a candle stick maker) close. Great place to have as home base in Kent with train and bus so close. And the city gate is right there! We enjoyed Canterbury a lot.

Deborah was very helpful and provided instruction ahead of the stay. Smooth booking. We had a lovely stay at Crippens. Would definitely come back.

Great cottage with private parking, which is very rare and Canterbury. It was a lovely well appointed place to stay and easy to walk to everything. The host was very responsive and very helpful with recommendations of things to do. I would highly recommend this cottage and this host. We truly appreciated the handwritten welcome card and the lovely cookies they left for us.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying in this lovely, quaint cottage right in the heart of Canterbury — and what a find it was! From the start, communication was excellent. Our hosts were friendly, responsive, and made everything smooth and stress-free. We felt genuinely welcomed, with thoughtful touches waiting for us on arrival that made it feel like a real home away from home. The cottage itself is full of character — beautifully kept, cosy, and tucked away just enough to feel peaceful, yet only a short stroll from all the shops, restaurants, and historic sights Canterbury has to offer. It struck the perfect balance between charm and comfort, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable stay with all the magic of Canterbury on the doorstep. A real gem!

Our group of 6 had a lovely time. The location was great, just a 10 min walk into the centre of town. It had a parking space and the place had ample room for 6 people. Would recommend.

Beautiful location. Very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds. Good for the dog, enclosed back garden. Parking on the street outside the house was easy. Close to Mermaid pub and Tadpole cafe/farmshop and bakery. Everything you need for a holiday in East Kent

What a find. Wonderful helpful and friendly family. We didn't have any issues with anything relating to this location. Clean well equipped and spacious property. Quiet location within walking distance of the local pub. Park and ride to Canterbury within five miles and cost £4. for the two of us. Location was perfect for us. We would definitely choose to stay with Emily and Simon again when we are next in Kent.

Paige’s B&B was a delight from start to finish. The newly renovated rooms looked exactly like the photos and were spotlessly clean. The location is very convenient—just a 6–7 minute walk from the city centre. Our room had a lovely river view, which made it feel extra special. We did have a minor issue with the key when we first arrived, but Paige came straight away and helped us sort it out quickly. Overall, our stay was very comfortable, and we’d happily choose this B&B again. Highly recommended!

The Smithy could not be more beautiful or more comfortable. It is the prettiest little house with a window box overflowing with petunias in the prettiest little English country square you could imagine (like something Disney would make up but better) with the ‘big house’ through the gates at one end of the square and a picture perfect church and pub the other end. The beds are huge and so comfortable. The garden is perfect for eating and sitting out in and I loved the kitchen which took me back in time to simpler, happy times (although please don’t get the wrong idea, everything is modern, clean, works and is up to date!). It just has a lovely nostalgic feel to it, perhaps because it reminded me of happy childhood times in my grandmother’s house, sitting at the kitchen table. I spent one afternoon cooking in it and feeling really relaxed ‘at home’ in a way that it isn’t always possible to feel at home! My husband and our Canadian cousins walked to Canterbury along the Pilgrims Way.

We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's house. The views were fantastic, and the home was well-equipped, making it perfect for our family getaway. The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch! Lorna was a very helpful and responsive host, and the location between Herne Bay and Whitstable was ideal. We'd happily return and highly recommend this lovely seaside retreat.

Had a lovely stay place was perfect for our family was perfect locations for wedding guests for the crescent turner hotel really lovely Friendly hosts and felt very cute x

Charley was a fantastic host . We had to swap our dates due to unforeseen circumstances, and Charley went above and beyond to help us . The house is very easy to get to from Canterbury East Station, a short walk ( mostly flat ) . The entire home was spotless,cosy, and everything was there that you need to have a fuss free break. The beds were very comfortable. The Garden was lovely in the evening to relax with a drink. The City Centre is a 10 minute walk , and supermarkets are very close by , takeaways are almost at the doorstep if you dont want to cook! A very needed break,made better by the brilliant host and great Place to stay . Would definitely stay again

We spent 5 nights at Debra’s beautiful home in Tankerton over my daughter’s half term holiday. It was exactly what we needed - a home away from home. The perfect space for her to study and relax together, while allowing me to catch up with friends and explore Tankerton, Whitstable and all the lovely restaurants and shops. Thank you so much Debra, I hope we’ll be back.

The house was a real home from home, beautifully laid out and very well equipped and comfortable, had everything needed or a multigenerational family. Everything was so well thought out. Our only issue was that the knife draw was blocked shut (apparently during a previous let) and wasn’t fixed before we arrived. Thankfully local family came visiting and brought a knife for us to carve the roast with🤣🤪)crisis averted.. Very comfortable beds and plenty of towels etc…. Thoughtful extras like bread, wine, eggs, toiletries, use of teas & coffees etc if needed. Wonderful place and a fantastic stay was had by all. Would def. Recommend and would be very happy to come again.

I highly recommend this lovely property. It is very convenient for pubs and restaurants and all that Rye has to offer. We made use of the little area with table and chairs at the back of the property to drink a cup of tea and there is a lovely place just next door which did an excellent afternoon tea. I loved the bath in the bedroom- such a treat!
