Best value for money in canterbury.

This is one of the best value for money rooms in canterbury. We had a free breakfast included which was superb. You get a free visit to the cathedral included, which would otherwise be £20 per person. The location is perfect and you have a lovely view of the cathedral from the lodge.

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.

Perfect location

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.

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.

Nice hotel in great location in Cathedral grounds

Very nice hotel right in the grounds of the cathedral. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was very good. My only complaints are the directions to the hotel and parking arrangements both of which were a tor nightmare. Otherwise a very pleasant stay

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.

Lovely service and great location! It was amazing to be so close to the cathedral. We would say however that the style of the hotel is a little outdated but that’s purely based on personal taste. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the garden overlooking the Cathedral was beautifully kept.

I stay here twice a year, and absolutely love it. What could be better? You get the Cathedral and precinct pretty much to yourself once the public have left for the day. There’s a fantastic garden where you can watch the sunset over the Cathedral whilst sipping a glass of wine.

The Cathedral at your window! What a view at night

The best place to stay in Canterbury with breathtaking views of the Cathedral. The hotel is a nice place, very clean and a delicious breakfast. On the downsize the rooms are very small, mostly the Queen bed compared to American standard. The staff is helpfull but don't seem very profesional. Looks like they are on a learning capacity.
