ACCOMMODATION & PRICES

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

Located inside the cathedral walls, the Lodge began life in 1998 as a study centre and has since been converted into conference facilities. A huddle of manysided buildings around a courtyard, its interior is contemporary and functional. The hotel is decorated and furnished simply, but comfortably. Rooms vary in size, and all have showers (none have baths, with the exception of one room in the Lodge’s ‘value’ accommodation, see below). Service is very friendly and helpful.

There are a small number of rooms in the Lodge’s ‘value’ accommodation –these rooms are only accessible via two flights of stairs, and do not have views of the cathedral. All other rooms do have cathedral views, and are accessible by lift.

Coaches are not allowed to stop near the hotel because of council regulations, but will pull up as close to the hotel as possible, entailing a c. 10-minute walk.
