Discover Canterbury, a stunning historic city and one of Kent’s true treasures. Canterbury is a beautiful city that’s been welcoming visitors for over 1,000 years. Explore its medieval streets, surrounded by lush countryside and ancient woodlands, now home to six charming vineyards. Just 15 minutes away, the coastal gems of Whitstable and Herne Bay invite you to enjoy fresh oysters, dip your toes in the sea and soak in their seaside charm.
Shop a blend of independent boutiques and high-street favorites, and indulge in award-winning restaurants, breweries and cafes. With a lively calendar of festivals and cosy spots to unwind, there’s something for everyone.
Just under an hour by train from London and only 10 minutes from Kent’s picturesque beaches, Canterbury offers the ideal escape for friends and family. Here at Coolstays we love Canterbury and offer an array of places to stay in and around the city. These include cosy treehouses, charming cabins and boutique hotels.
