The central location on Canterbury's High Street, with proximity to attractions and quietness despite the bustle outside, is highly valued by guests.
The cottage's modern amenities and historical features provide a comfortable stay, though the mention of 'sloping floors' suggests some rustic quirks.
Facilities are modern and well-maintained, blending seamlessly with the property's ancient architecture. The absence of a TV is noted, but good Wi-Fi compensates for this.
While guests speak highly of the host's friendliness and the property's charm, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness'.

This was such a find - a perfect haven of tranquility in an historic building, yet right in the centre of Canterbury. We were absolutely wowed! Not only were the cottage and environs wonderful, but the concierge, Julie, could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. We want to return!

Stayed in the Yeomans apartment in mid December, which was our first trip to Canterbury. As with other reviews we were met on arrival by the very pleasant concierge (Julie) who gave us a guided tour of Eastbridge Hospital on way to our apartment. The location couldn't be any better for the fact as soon as you walked out of the main door you are straight onto the buzzing main street of the city, where everything is within a short stroll. The apartment was very clean albeit being very old with modern facilities coupled with the architecture of the distant past, complete with wood beams and sloping floors. All in all a we had a very comfortable stay.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Canterbury but as quiet as a countryside retreat. The only noise is the occasional chatter from the sightseeing boat as it sails past. You enter through the High Street door which takes you through the mediaeval building to the cottage. The cottage is small but perfectly formed, with all mod cons. Well nearly all, as there is no TV, but there is a good WiFi signal so we were fine with our laptop.We were met at Reception by Julie the concierge who gave us a quick tour round the old building with a potted history of the establishment. Julie, a really lovely person, has a great sense of humour and is easily contactable if needed. We've been coming to Canterbury for many years and love the history and the culture here. The Yeoman's Cottage is the best place we have stayed in so far. Hopefully we will stay again
