Room with a view

The hotel was excellent - right in the precincts of the Cathedral. Room was on the small side but adequate and had a lovely view of the garden courtyard

Fabulous accommodation in Canterbury especially for access to the beautiful Cathedral. The staff were just fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you so much

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

10/10 Exceptional

One of the most beautiful views out of my hotel window that I have ever seen! Breakfast was great, the room was comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel.
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Still highly recommended

Our second stay here en-route from a trip to France to break the long drive home. It’s a wonderful, clean, spacious stay with superb breakfast, free overnight secure parking within the Cathedral grounds and a superb view and access to the Cathedral. I dropped only one star in comfort simply because we were put in an older rear annex this time and there was no lift to the 2nd floor room and there was a street behind which had noisy youths shouting until midnight, not the fault of the hotel. Would I use it again, absolute yes however I’d try to ask for a room in the main modern building rather than get the annex.

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!

Laurie Kateman, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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.

The perfect location to visit Canterbury and the cathedral. Smallish room but perfectly fine for an overnight stay. Breakfast was great and served on the outside terrace on a beautiful sunny morning.
