Number 7 Longport

Canterbury is a perfect spot for a romantic weekend away, and now with the high speed train from St Pancras it’s less than one hour from central London. Very easy on a Friday night!

Once you've got to Canterbury we'd suggest 7 Longport as your ideal place to stay; your own secret cottage in a pretty courtyard garden and right in the centre of the city.

Without losing the character of the 15th century cottage, the luxury boutique style accommodation at 7 Longport offers a cosy ground floor sitting room, a stylish wet room and, up a steep flight of stairs, a large, chic bedroom.  All in all, perfect for a romantic weekend away.

          

It's worth getting up in time for breakfast because, where possible, all the food is locally sourced. The bread, cakes, yoghurt, jam and marmalade are all homemade and the honey even comes from a friend's bees!  In terms of your evening meal, Canterbury sits in a foodie triangle with 2 Michelin starred restaurants just 20 minutes away, the BBC’s award winning Goods Shed and plenty of other wonderful eating places in the city so you really shouldn't have a problem finding somewhere.

There's also plenty to see and do in Canterbury over the weekend. For starters you can visit the historic Cathedral or experience Chaucer's Canterbury Tales - complete with sounds and smells!

And there are plenty of ways to get around - punting along the river or walking along the city walls - you chose?
