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.

The best location right on the Cathedral property and two minute walk to city center. I would only request that the lodge send parking instructions to anyone that will park there. We drove around for 30 minutes before we found out way in.

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.
