A delightful and unique experience. The owners are really welcoming, the house is beautiful and decorated in a really unique way, the rooms are very comfortable, and a tasty, healthy breakfast is laid out for you to help yourself to in the morning. The b + b feels very private in a great location, only 10 minute walk into city... More

We always stay at Arthouse when we are in Canterbury. The owners live across the courtyard from the B&B so guests get the use of the whole house, which is full of clever and unusual art and design. The rooms are comfortable, the owners very welcoming and the prices more than reasonable. It's a unique place to stay, definitely worth... More

I have tried on a number of occasions to secure a room at Arthouse, but as I leave things to the last minute and by necessity have to book in busy school holiday periods, have not been successful, Until now. I was delighted to secure a room for myself and my 4 year old daughter - and further pleased that... More

I stayed at art house b & b for a weekend recently & thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is so different from anywhere I've stayed at, the clue is in the name. The price is so reasonable & the owners are really friendly. I'll definitely come back to Canterbury again.

We do a bit of B&B ourselves and this place had just the ambience that we try to create: informal, friendly, helpful and trusting. Loved the humour that drips off the walls! It's only a short walk into the centre of town. We had the garden room which was very hot at night.

This peculiar B&B is housed in a former firehouse. Which probably explains the number of floors inside. During our stay, we were the only visitors. For which I was thankful, as the inside of the B&B is more suited for use as an apartment than a B&B. Or maybe I should say that this B&B encourages visitors to share and... More

This is a great B&B located a very short walk (comfortably less than 10 minutes) from the town centre. The building is an old firestation and the owners are artists - the combination produces a truly unique B&B. The interior is full of great pieces of modern art - I don't really know much about art so I won't try... More
