Everyone craves an escape from the complexities of the rat race, yet not every holiday is an affordable option. If you’re yearning for the greenery and fresh air of the countryside, consider making your way to Yha Canterbury, a splendid budget choice located a few minutes from the vibrant cathedral city of Canterbury. This welcoming YHA hostel rests just outside the ring road that circles the town’s historic centre, consisting of a lovely redbrick Victorian mansion with various accommodations. Guests who don’t mind sharing their space can enjoy a delightful budget-friendly stay in one of eight rooms, each containing between four to six beds. The multi-bedded rooms all share access to the same kitchen. If privacy is more your vibe, pick from one of seven private rooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, and enjoy a few luxuries on your road trip. There is a large dining room for enjoying your chow as you indulge with a chinwag with fellow guests. A lounge and a self-catering kitchen make it easy to socialise and make your meals when you’re not in the mood to head out for food. The new ‘Arctic Cabins’ have ample space to sleep four and offers glamping delights for those who prefer this vibe. The friendly site is clean, well-maintained, and rests in a central position, a mere 10-minute stroll from nearby Canterbury. Dogs are welcome in the cabins, and only assistant pets are allowed in the hostel.
