All Saints Cottage

This historic two bedroom cottage is really close to the centre of Canterbury but with a small garden overlooking the river. 
All Saint's Cottage is accessed via an ancient cobbled lane off St Peter's (one of the main pedestrian walkways of this historic city). It is tucked behind a larger imposing period property and therefore is surprisingly private.

   

The ground floor consists of a small cosy sitting room which opens into the small but well fitted galley kitchen. These two rooms are separated by a pair of unusual antique wooden dividers. The kitchen includes a washing machine, a cooker, microwave, a fridge and freezer with ample utensils for your stay. There is also a drying machine in the hallway. The sitting room has a wood effect fire, a large corner sofa, leather tub chair, an antique settle with a small dining table and chairs. There is also a flat screen TV with DVD player (including some DVD's to watch)and some games for those rainy days.

   

A steep period staircase leads up to the First Floor which comprises of a double bedroom, ample storage space, and a seating area. The window overlooks an old courtyard and the famous Witches Ducking Stool  perched over the river.

There is also a separate bathroom which consists of a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

The last flight of steep stairs leads to the second floor Master bedroom. Even with its sloping ceilings this eaves room is still the most spacious room of the property and there is also a small window with views to Canterbury Cathedral (visible from your bed!).It consists of an Antique double brass bed, a seating area, a TV with DVD player and plenty of storage space.



There are some relatively low doorways and some uneven floors but the height of most of the ceilings in All Saints is surprisingly good. Especially for a cottage of this age.

The riverside courtyard is in a truly exceptional location and we have provided comfortable outside seating and table for you to enjoy your waterside experience to the full. The only passing traffic you will find here is the occasional punt gliding by (a flat bottomed boat propelled by a long pole). The river is crystal clear and home to ducks and swans !

 

    
    Wireless broadband is available!    
         
    You may use a private car park run by the Salvation Army located near the High Street end of Stour Street. Donations for this can be left in the cottage when you leave. We recommend £2.50 per day. On the rare occasion there isn't a space you can use the long term car park in Rosemary Lane.
