Inside, the cottage blends cosy character with modern comfort. The inviting living area is furnished for relaxation, and the kitchen comes fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to leisurely evening meals. The two bedrooms are calm and restful, with tasteful décor and quality linens to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning sun or watching the light change in the evening, the riverside setting offers a peaceful retreat at any time of day.

Located in the heart of Canterbury, the cottage is within easy reach of the city’s famous landmarks. A visit to the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral is a must, with its soaring gothic architecture and fascinating history. The nearby ruins of St. Augustine’s Abbey and the well-preserved city walls offer more opportunities to step back in time, while the Canterbury Roman Museum provides insight into the area’s ancient past.
The city centre is a delight to explore, with its cobbled streets, independent shops, and a wealth of restaurants, pubs, and cafés. Visitors can enjoy everything from gourmet dining to a casual riverside pint. For art lovers and theatregoers, Canterbury boasts a rich cultural scene, including performances at The Marlowe Theatre and exhibitions at local galleries.

Nature lovers can take advantage of scenic walks along the River Stour or wander through the beautifully maintained Westgate Gardens. For a different perspective, river tours by punt or boat allow you to see the city from the water, floating quietly past medieval buildings and under ancient stone bridges.
Just a short drive away are the countryside walks and charming villages of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while the beaches of Whitstable and Herne Bay offer a refreshing day out on the coast.
Duckling Cottage provides a comfortable, riverside base from which to explore the best of Canterbury and beyond. Whether you’re looking for a quiet weekend away or a week of historic discovery and scenic adventure, this delightful cottage has everything you need for a memorable sta
