About University of Kent Campus Accommodation

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The University of Kent offers a range of 4-5* VisitEngland campus-graded accommodation, from ensuite B&B single or double rooms to self-catering flats and houses, all set in our beautiful campus overlooking the historic City of Canterbury and its famous Cathedral.

Our excellent on-site facilities include award-winning catering outlets, free parking, cinema and gym, plus other superb sports and leisure amenities. All accommodation is within easy access to the city, which is just a short bus ride away. If you are heading further afield, London is just an hour away by train or Dover and the Channel Tunnel are only thirty minutes away, or experience some Kentish countryside walking the Crab and Winkle Way or the local coastal town of Whitstable.

We are proud to have won the ‘Best University Accommodation for Groups’ every year since 2008 at the Group Travel Awards
