"Having been away from Canterbury for many years my partner and I wanted to visit and with out little Jack Russell in tow we were looking for a place where we could lock the door and not worry about her. We found it with Ivy Lane...this is a wonderful little house located just outside the city walls of Canterbury. Just a few minutes walk and you are at in the city center with all the history, restaurants and shopping the city has to offer. A wood burner and period features make this place very cozy. 'Queenie' (the Jack Russell) was made very welcome with bowls and some treats. Tea and coffee was awaiting us....all in all a wonderful and magical place. So much so that we have stayed twice now and will be re-booking again for our next Canterbury trip.....this feels like a home from home. One point of note for people booking from North America, this is a small house. A great alternative to a hotel, but do not think a large house. Book for a couple (and dog), but not for a family.....that said I refer to my previous comments and this place will not disappoint. "

"We had a fantastic week at Bay View. The location was perfect as the house is right next to the beach and sea and the Neptune pub is about 10 metres away. My 82 year old parents loved sitting out on the balcony looking out over the sea, there is also a lovely little garden with table and chairs that we sat out in for meals and morning coffees. The house is on 3 floors with a family bathroom with bath on the first floor and shower room on the 2nd. The lounge is very comfortable and has double doors which when opened give lovely views over the beach and sea. We watched sunsets each night from the lounge and balcony. The kitchen is well equipped. It is also about a 5 minute walk to the local Sainsbury’s and High Street. I would recommend this holiday cottage and hope to return."

"This cottage is spectacular in decor and location, and for the friendliness of its owner Steve - who forgave us breaking his lovely flower holder (we managed to stick it back together again so hopefully no one notices). The location is amazing with great countryside all around a lovely small village close by, a great pub up the road and plenty to do for day trips. We were there in bitter winter conditions at the beginning of February but we still had an amazing time with the wood-burning stove and a good video or two. The cottage is so well furnished and designed that I wanted to copy all the ideas in it. Stay here if you want to be in the countryside surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful things. You will love it."

"The cottage is in a perfect position, close to the beach and the high street, yet far enough back to be quiet.The cottage is beautifully decorated, yet I fear there is a degree of style over substance. The red sofa in the dining room is very uncomfortable and hence we never sat on it after the first go. The chairs in the living room are equally not the most comfortable.The lack of a dishwasher is a real shame, especially if you come with children (which the cottage is otherwise well set up for). I know space is tight but as someone who stays in many cottages this is a real down side.The drainage needs sorting. The fact that the green waste floods the path and then street is embarrassing and unpleasant to walk in."

"Furnished and fitted out to a very high standard, the cottage is fully equipped with everything you could need for a lovely relaxing holiday. Situated in a quiet and peaceful location, there is a beautiful small enclosed patio area just right for eating Al Fresco or if it should rain you can retire to the lounge and watch the birds feeding. The owner, Stephen, made us very welcome and showed us around the cottage on our arrival. He has thoughtfully provided fully detailed suggestions of local walks which we found very useful. Wye, with its excellent shops and eating places, is only about 2 miles away. We look forward to returning in the future."
