August 2024The cathedral lodge hotel hosted our wedding reception and was fantastic. The auditorium was a perfect space for the meals and evening party. Planning was made as easy as possible by the team there, they were super helpful with all our questions, and were on hand on the day to tweak and perfect the day. The chef and kitchen staff are accommodating and skilled. They worked hard to bring our ideas to life and handmade some amazing food for our guests. Alex and Rachel were particularly noteworthy as our liaisons on the day and stopped at nothing to make everything run smoothly so we didn't have to worry about anything.

September 2024Had our wedding reception here and the staff were amazing from start to finish. Helped with planning and organising and kept us updated with everything to give us peace of mind. Guest loved the location. Packages are well worth it. Food was delicious.

June 2024Superb location in the shadow of the beautiful cathedral. The hotel is safe and secluded in the police controlled courtyard area of the cathedral affording easy access to the town. The car park is a little tricky to get into and out should you arrive by car. The room we stayed in was super clean and comfortable. Staff are extremely diligent and attentive. Very professional. Breakfast was superb. We really enjoyed our stay and will return again next year.

June 2024We held a memorial/Celebration of Life at the Canterbury Cathedral Lodge. I can’t recommend this venue enough. The staff were wonderful, the venue beautiful, and the location stunning. We started with drinks in the Campanile Garden, followed by speeches and food in the Refectory, and an overnight stay: perfection. Great breakfast in the morning followed by a serene wander around the Cathedral before the crowds arrived. I would highly recommend this place.

June 2024Beautiful setting in the cathedral grounds In the heart of the city, it is surprisingly how tranquil and quiet it is. Ask for room facing out on to the cathedral side with stunning view in the morning. Take morning coffee ☕ out to the garden looking over the cathedral☺️ garden's are beautiful ❤️. Safe place to stay in the city specially if a woman traveling alone I recommend staying here and security twenty four seven on site. You have free entrance to cathedral and grounds staying here.
