Eastbridge Canterbury - The Clerks Cottage, Eastbridge Hospital

The Clerks Cottage sits on the ground and first floors of a building that has stood since the 1600s, part of Eastbridge Hospital's ancient complex in the heart of Canterbury. You arrive into a living and dining room that opens directly onto the kitchen—a practical space with electric cooking, a dishwasher, and everything needed to prepare meals. The bedroom upstairs is a simple room with a king-size bed; a separate shower room completes the layout. Original features like exposed beams run through the cottage, alongside modern essentials: heating, Wi-Fi, and parking for one car on site.

Eastbridge Hospital itself dates to 1190, when it provided shelter for pilgrims travelling to Thomas Becket's shrine. That history remains tangible in the walls around you, though the cottage itself is from four centuries later. The setting places you within walking distance of Canterbury Cathedral, the city's museums, and the River Stour. The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge is nearby for quieter afternoons. Bed linen, towels, and Wi-Fi are included; smoking is not permitted. This is a two-person property, unsuitable for children.
