Best value for money in canterbury.

10.0

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.

My Husband and I stayed here for our sons graduation. Great location for the cathedral and the city, rooms very clean and staff very friendly, breakfast was lovely. Would 100% recommend and would return for a city break.

Amazing hotel

10.0

The hotel is wonderfully designed to bland in the historical architecture of the Cathedral which is free to visit for the guests. Peaceful garden overlooking the cathedral was wonderful too. Seeing the sunrise over the cathedral right from my bed was breathtaking. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend 👌

Guest review

8.0

This hotel is beautifully situated right by the cathedral and sympathetically built. Staff were all helpful and friendly. The breakfast is table service but service is prompt and the food of good quality. Lots of guests were reluctant to sit by the door (draughty!) and the tables for two were quite close together. We did not find the small beds comfortable and were disturbed both nights by noise from adjacent rooms and would say that the walls are quite thin. The rooms are fitted out in a corporate way and the bathrooms on the small side and flooring a little tired but extremely clean. I loved looking out over the gravel garden and the cathedral from the window seat.
