It was a nice place with a nice landlord. The rooms where clean but all of them don’t have bathroom inside. It is possible to use kitchen if you want to cook and you can watch Tv and use everything and feel like home. You to walk about 10-15 min to the city center which is close. It is a little hard to find at night so you can check picture of the entrance that I upload.
Me and my husband are recently stayed at Turi House in Canterbury for one night, and it was truly a peaceful and memorable experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged to make guests feel at home. A special mention goes to the owner–a true gentleman. He was kind, welcoming, and made sure everything went smoothly during my stay. His hospitality added a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable. Though it was a short stay, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily return. I’m definitely going to recommend Turi House to my friends – it’s a great place for anyone visiting Canterbury and looking for comfort, peace, and warm hospitality.
The host of this property was very approachable and helped us with Early checkin. He made sure we are comfortable and arranged parking for us. Thank you for the great service, looking forward to visit again.

A very decent place to stay. Clean, all necessary facilities, not very quiet as you can listen to other lodgers from upstairs. Parking behind the house is a big bonus.
Host was so accommodating, and extremely friendly. the room was big, comfortable and clean. Located in a quiet part of town with secure parking. Would recommend staying here.
Turi House - Very friendly. Nice people Great location in Canterbury. Within walking distance of most places. And reasonable rates
The people that work here are really friendly, nice and helpful! The room was really clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was also pretty comfortable. It also comes with your own private bathroom that's once again really clean. They even offer you free towels! Wifi is also great and everything is just a small walking distance away! Truly a recommendation.
