The beach isn’t far either if guests wanted to mix up their holiday and visit Ramsgate, Broadstairs, or Margate for long stretches of golden sands and traditional fish and chips. Alternatively, there is Whitstable, Sandwich, Deal, Dover, and Folkestone for varied days out from adventure parks, water parks, golf (various world-renowned courses locally), fishing, multiple zoos and so much more for all to enjoy. Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses.
Canterbury Cathedral, founded in 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows. Visit Canterbury and discover why this beautiful, ancient city is one of the jewels in Kent’s crown. The historic city is less than an hour from London by train, and just 10 minutes from some of Kent’s beautiful beaches, it is the perfect city break for anyone in the mood for gorgeous medieval streets, great food and drink, and cultural getaways.

A beautiful and comfortable apartment in such quiet surroundings. The beds and mattresses are outstanding. Lots of space everywhere and an open airy feel. A great sized TV and comfy sofa to relax on after a busy day was a definite plus point. The owners are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would love to stay here again.

Quiet and rural, very pleasant and helpful owner. Only one village shop within walking distance along narrow lanes, but good for basics. A good place for exploring East Kent and coast
