The Crippens is conveniently located to execellent pubs and all of the attractions one comes to Canterbury to see. Plus, the house itself is cozy, comfortable, and a relaxing place to wind down or hang out in. Would stay again if visiting Canterbury.

thank you so much Audrey for taking the time to review. we very much appreciate that thank you
Our one night stay in Canterbury couldn't have been better. Crippens is an easy walk to the Cathedral, shopping, and dining. The designated and secure parking space was a BIG plus. The space is very comfortable with a great kitchen with everything you might need for a longer stay.
This place exceeded our expectations. Immaculate, well appointed, and very convenient (3 minute walk) to the cathedral and central areas of Canterbury. Don’t forget to duck…some of the ancient beams are low but that adds to the essential charm of this freshly refurbished historical home.

Dear William
Thank you for your time and the lovely review .
Deborah and John
We had an amazing stay at crippens. The entire process was seamless from check in to check out. The three bedroom property was amazing we loved the attention to detail with everything. The property is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We loved all the small touches with the games for children and tv equipped with everything channel we could need. Kitchen high chair everything was thought of. The area was really central everything was in walking distance which we liked. The pictures don’t do the property justice is totally exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely come to stay again. Thankyou to the hosts.
A brilliantly and tastefully restored mediaeval house right in the middle of Canterbury. The parking and outside space was a plus. Everything had been thought of and Deborah was a delightful and very responsive host. We will return!
