location
The Quaives is nestled within a 19-acre magical and unique countryside escape surrounded by nature, located just outside of Canterbury in Kent. The grounds boasts beautiful manicured gardens, tree-lined walkways, local ponds and rivers, hot tub, tennis courts, and picturesque local villages just a stroll away. Not to mention the prized jewel of the estate which is the magnificent studio (with its incredible sound system for you to move to the music).
There is a host of options to keep you entertained throughout your stay but also personal time to kick back, relax, and unwind as you please.
The Quaives is located:
2 hour drive from London
2.5 hour train journey from London
15-minute drive or taxi from Canterbury West station
10 minutes drive or taxi from Canterbury East
30 minutes from the beaches at Whitstable, Deal, Margate, Ramsgate & Folkestone
There is free parking at the location for those who are driving, and for those booking taxis we recommend booking local taxi services in advance to avoid the lack of Uber in the area.
