Characterful hotel with everything you need.

Well appointed, comfortable, large sized room a few minutes walk from the city centre. Characterful decoration choices adds a bit of interest and distinguishes Cantebury Lodge from the bland big chains, but without being over the top. Hot breakfasts are well cooked and a generous size with a good selection of other options to go with it. Lisa is a friendly hostess, who will definately make sure your morning coffee cup doesn't run dry. Would recommend.

Fantastic place to stay in Canterbury

The property, the room, the breakfast and the owner were all fantastic. The only downside was the Wi-Fi which at barely 0.4 mbs was unusable.

Luxury and little touches

A welcoming smile and lovely grey double bedroom. It was spacious and clean and had mirrored glass furniture. A nice box of chocolates, water and plenty of tea and coffee were also there on arrival. The breakfasts were amazing! Definitely go for the scrambled eggs!

Disappointed to find that despite being a Bed & Breakfast, there was no breakfast. The owner was lovely, and everything was in a great condition, but before booking, make sure you know what you're getting!

On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile , shown to our room which we had upgraded due to a cancellation . Warm,clean good tea/coffee supplies. Went to breakfast and the breakfast room was so bright and full of bee related things which made a lovely table for us to dine . Well what can I say about breakfast … amazing and the best we have ever had . Looking out of the window at dusk there was a friendly fox in the garden which we enjoyed watching playing with the owners dog ! Within walking distance of the town centre was great and parking at the hotel too . Nothing was too much trouble when I asked if there was decaf coffee , the next day it was there at breakfast . This is definitely a hidden gem , would highly recommend.

Very nice room but, extremely high bed, I had to fashion a step out of cushions and pillows! The towels were very hard and certainly not fluffy. On the good side the cooked breakfast was delicious.

Very comfortable hotel

Firstly, we must say what a fabulous host Lisa was. Nothing was to much for her. Very pleasant lady. Our room was No7, which had a 4 poster bed, and was very comfortable. Massive TV.( if you wanted to use it!) Loverly,comfortable furniture. The bathroom was excellent. Breakfast, set us up for the day. Full English, a must.

All the benefits of a small, homely hotel - friendly, personal service by the owner. Also, well located, a short walk from the city centre and with good sized, well equipped rooms and convenient on-site parking. We very much enjoyed our stay.

What a great find

Stayed here for 2 nights for sightseeing in the area. 10 min walk to the city centre so convenient. Lovely B&B, our room was great, clean and well appointed with little extra touches like the sweets and biscuits. Lisa our host couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Wouldn't hesitate recommending a stay here.
