Planning a weekend in Canterbury with friends or family and want somewhere everyone can stay together?
Firebow Holidays provides group accommodation in Canterbury and the surrounding Kent countryside for friends' weekends, couples travelling together, family getaways, multi-generational trips, reunions and wedding stays.
Kent Downs Cottage sleeps up to eight guests, with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a games room and shared spaces where everyone can cook, eat and spend time together.
Rather than splitting the group between separate hotel rooms, you have one place to come back to after a day exploring Canterbury, whether you've been visiting museums and galleries, wandering the historic centre, meeting for lunch or heading out into the Kent countryside.

Visit Canterbury Cathedral, explore the city's Roman history at Canterbury Roman Museum, or spend time at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge, which brings together art, exhibitions, a museum and library in the city centre.
You can also see what's on at The Marlowe Theatre, wander through Westgate Gardens, explore Canterbury's historic streets and independent shops, or spend part of the day stopping at cafés, pubs and restaurants around the city.
For groups who want some countryside as well, staying around Petham gives you a quieter base outside the city with the Kent Downs to explore. It means a weekend can include museums, galleries, food and history one day, then countryside walks and a slower pace the next.
Different group trips need different things from the accommodation.
Friends and couples might want somewhere to come back to after dinner, drinks and a day exploring Canterbury. Families and multi-generational groups may need enough bedrooms, bathrooms and communal space for everyone to stay comfortably together. Wedding guests may simply want one shared base before and after a celebration in Canterbury or the surrounding Kent countryside.
Our self-catering accommodation brings those needs together in one place, with bedrooms for the group, a fully equipped kitchen and shared living spaces, plus a games room, patio, BBQ and fire pit at Kent Downs Cottage.
