RONALD, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We stayed one night, and enjoyed our stay. We explored the grounds and Cathedral. How ever I did find the bed was uncomfortable and very hard and the pillows where hard to Everything else was very nice and staff where friendly
Hannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Well its owned and on the cathedral property. Wow I did not know that. It was a unique experience and close to the main streets. It was a great place to sleep next to the cathedral. It was cool to go to breakfast and see a priest or other parishioner getting ready to start a conference or some other worthy activity, not that that was the exclusive attendance of the hotel.
Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The best place we have ever stayed, so clean, perfect location, staff and facilities top notch, we will definitely be returning and booking for family and friends too, don’t delay, you must go!

Great Location

The hotel is in a great location and onsite parking is available if you reserve in advance. The breakfast was excellent and the room was generally comfortable although it lacked any seating other than on the bed.
Terry, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The property is centrally located, and the staff are helpful. The rooms leave a bit to be desired, but overall comfortable stay. The wifi (at least in our room) was unusable, on phones as well as the television in the room.

This was an incredible place! It is right next to the incredible Canterbury Cathedral. The staff were all so kind and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious I had the smoked salmon on toast. The hotel was a short walk to great places to eat & explore!
R Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The best location right on the Cathedral property and two minute walk to city center. I would only request that the lodge send parking instructions to anyone that will park there. We drove around for 30 minutes before we found out way in.

Excellent place to stay
Leonor M, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to see Canterbury Cathedral!
Laurie Kateman, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel staff and reception were amazing. Unfortunately, we could not say the same for the breakfast service. We had to ask twice (three times) for items we had ordered to be delivered to our table. We asked for coffee and no coffee was served. We asked for toast and no toast was provided. We asked for fruit and no fruit was provided. Until we reminded them we got the above items. We were polite and felt we were invisible. Three other tables were served before us and we arrived before them. To be fair the food and coffee was good. The room had a nice bed. The outside terrace was nice and the free entry to the Cathedral was a really nice touch. Loved the view and location.
Mihaela Simona, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

If you wish to visit Canterbury, the Lodge provides an incredibly convenient and quite comfortable place to stay. For those outside the main Lodge, the stairs may prove problematic for some, particularly those with extensive luggage or mobility issues. That notwithstanding, the access to the Cathedral grounds was lovely, and we would happily stay at the Lodge again.

Magical Canterbury Retreat for Two

An excellent facility in the cathedral complex which was just what we wanted. We love the cathedral and it is so central to everywhere we wanted to go. At night the floodlit building is magical - photo is from our room window.
