    The cottage is in a great location, compact but full of character and spotlessly clean. We used it as a base to explore Canterbury and the surrounding area on a 2 night stay as a family of 4. Communication with host was quick and straightforward.

1 Steam Packet Cottage, is a lovely conservation protected City centre property set in a private tranquil court yard within very close proximity to all amenities. A Fully modernised and refurbished 120 year old cottage, with all new furnishings. We strongly believe the quality on offer represents real value for money for University Graduations, holidays breaks. or business stop overs. There is also an onsite key box, which allows flexible arrival and departure times. For an early check in request (only when available) , Please contact me directly.
I look after Steam Packet Cottage personally, live locally and always available for enquires, advice, or emergencies. I am fully confident that you will enjoy your stay at this fabulous little property.
An unbeatable quiet city centre location for any visitor. Excellent Restaurants and cocktail bars within 50 metres. The West gate Tower and high street are less than 100 metres. The City cathedral is maximum 10 minute walk away. With a cottage of this age there are a few internal areas of lower restricted ceiling heights, which should not present a problem, but may or may not be of relevance for guests of above average height. There is a separate living room, and kitchen, with the two double bedrooms upstairs. Strictly no parking in the courtyard, but there are local car parks very close to the cottage, one of which is directly opposite. The cheapest all day 24 hour ticket is Canterbury West Station park, and a 5 minute walk away. Local street parking is "free" between 6.00 pm to 9.00 am and all day Sundays. At the top of St Dunstan's about a 10 minute away you will also find free Street parking in Forty Acres Road, Nursery walk, and many of the roads off the main street. For guests booking for a longer stay (3 days or over) we can accommodate with limited free parking at one of our other properties "15 minute walk away"
