Liked: Cleanliness

The accommodation itself is lovely, amazing views of the Cathedral but my goodness finding a way in in the first place is incredibly painful, frustrating and infuriating. We headed out for dinner and drinks and then also couldn't get back into the Cathedral grounds to the hotel. It took an hour for reception to answer the phone and assist us during which time we walked right around the Cathedral walls looking for a way in in the dark, cold and rain. It was most unpleasant and completely killed the vibe of our stay in Canterbury.

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.

Amazing hotel

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 👌

Liked: Amenities

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.

Delightful stay

The location within the cathedral grounds is a special feature. Lovely to wander around in the evening and easy for the restaurants. Breakfast was fabulous with a choice of cooked or a large continental menu. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a smallish double and the shower was adequate but not a huge space. Overall a delightful experience.

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.

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.

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.
