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.

A great room in the annex with views of yhe cathedral. I thought the garden area was particularly nice and a great place for a coffee. Location in the cathedral grounds is ideal. Only draw back very difficult to find the way in by car!
2.5
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

Wonderful location, excellent staff, breakfast was good. Hopefully bathrooms will be remodeled at some point. They are not dirty or old but the sizing of the fixtures needs to be addressed.

The location is fabulous - literally inside the cathedral grounds. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they couldn't have been better. The room was lovely and clean, the bed comfy and it felt really nice. There was a good view of the Cathedral from our room, and it was wonderful to be so local to the places we wanted to visit. The breakfast was really good quality and I'd happily stay again.
There's a water bottle station on the ground floor where you can refill your own bottles, or borrow a glass bottle for your room.
Staying at the lodge meant we didn't have to pay the £17 per person entrance fee to the Cathedral, and we were able to park in the Cathedral car park for the duration of our stay. I had left it quite late to organise parking, and it wasn't guaranteed on our arrival - but we were lucky to be able to park there. It was a £10 charge for the parking, but that is very cheap I comparison to the local public car parking which I believe is limited and can be very expensive (though you can buy a 24 hour permit from the hotel for £12 and it allows you to park in selected local car parks)
Getting to the lodges in the car was the only thing I felt uncertain about, and I didn't know how to get into the car park off Burgate - it is the very first turn on the right once you enter Burgate, into what looks like a narrow one-way street (but it is not). It's between the pub and the British Red Cross shop.

Wonderful hotel and people. Just made a mistake in booking an “accessible” room when we didn’t need it, and did not ask for twin beds when we needed them - as Queen size too narrow. Will know next time.
5.0
The lodge is a peace of heaven in the touristic town of Canterbury. The garden is wonderful and you can attend services easily and the evensongs each day at 5:30 pm in the cathedral.

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.

My room was perfect. Small but not cramped. Lovely window seat with window that opens. The view is stunning especially at night. Excellent cooked breakfast and friendly helpful staff. I don’t have one complaint I will definitely return.

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.

Fabulous stay in a lovely lodge within the grounds of the Cathedral! Originally built for visiting priests about 20 years ago, and then opened to the general public. The rooms are lovely, quiet and comfortable. Exceptionally clean. Service was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is included and table service and delicious. Value is excellent. I wished we'd stayed longer!

We were in the Annex and on reflection the main building was nicer. Our room was a bit tired such as very thin walls and hence noisy and the bathroom needed some attention. Small point but pillow were terrible and had to be changed for second night.
Overall location was great with a really nice coffee shop and great breakfast. All staff were very good with special mention to the car park lady who was our first point of contact and very welcoming.

A fleeting visit but the experience was exceptional.
Felt as if I was in 'seventh heaven' when my parking place was adjacent to the Cathedral, next to the hotel and secure overnight.
Greeted in such a friendly manner and my room was one of the best In have ever had the privilege of staying in.
I very much hope I will der able to repeat the experience and enjoy a longer stay.

Excellent clean hotel with a really positive group of helpful staff . A great place to stay with some added touches such as bottles of cold water available. Restaurant is first class!
I enjoyed playing the lute in the Camps olé garden having been hired for the Canterbury Heritage week.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem! FANTASTIC, unparalleled views of the cathedral (like front-row seats) from their lovely garden. Great cooked breakfast that included in the very reasonable price. Lovely staff. Convenient parking. It was a major factor in making our Canterbury experience excellent.

Location within the Cathedral grounds, made this hotel feel very special

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.

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.

Absolutely wonderful stay. The hotel is actually in the cathedral grounds so entrance to the cathedral is included. The hotel itself is modern and is as nice a hotel as we’ve ever stayed in. Breakfast was excellent.
