"The flat was very nice, well equipped and very central for getting into Canterbury town itself and not far to Whitstable and Herne Bay."
Unfortunately the info given in the Sykes website was inaccurate regards parking - said the parking was paid , intimating there would be a permit inside the property to be placed in the car, however this was not the case and to find a space in the road was non existent and the local car park added a significant extra cost onto the rental. Also beware the property is above a laundrette which cranked up its extractor fan at 9am and turned it off at 6pm. Whilst this is not too much of an issue if you plan to be out all day, it is extremely noisy if you are not it.

About the location
CANTERBURY
Whitstable 6 miles; Herne Bay 9 miles.
Dominating the city skyline, the cathedral at Canterbury is the oldest in England, and along with the castle and quaint cobbled streets, draws visitors back time and again to its history, heritage and culture. Cosmopolitan restaurants, vibrant nightclubs and traditional pubs perch along the main streets or down narrow lanes, along with both high street shops and independent retailers. Travelling by foot is an excellent way of exploring the city, with walking trails and guided walks allowing visitors to discover winding streets and hidden corners, all with their own unique identity. By taking a boat trip along the River Stour, you can appreciate Canterbury's historic architecture and enjoy outstanding scenic views. From the frequent fairs and festivals to tempting food and drink events, Canterbury offers something for everyone throughout the year. For those wishing to enjoy the sea, Herne Bay and Whitstable are less than 8 miles away, while the attractions of inland Kent can also be easily reached.
