Recently stayed at CCL for a weekend. Location was great, very special to be staying within the grounds of the cathedral. However the accom is very much a conference lodging (ie very generic), to be fair the accom website doesn't hide this it was just that from the TA reviews I was expecting somthing more unique. The room we had... More

Right next to the Cathedral its got a stunning location. We got the feeling that its really aimed at people visiting the Cathedral and staying for a couple of nights possibly on a course or at a conference.The ambience is quiet and formal ..its not a bustling hotel by any means and there's a large framed picture of the Archbishop...

I enjoyed a really pleasant stay in a single room in the hotel over the weekend of 13-15 January 2012. It was good value for money; in a perfect setting in the grounds of the cathedral; clean, everything worked, the room had a tv, hair dryer, and iron and ironing board, kettle and tea/coffee etc, efficient towel rail, a radiator...

To stay in the grounds of the cathedral was awesome. It is a small hotel with no real facilities. But looking out on to the cathedral really makes this a special hotel. Rooms clean, breakfast was plentiful with a choice of full English to continental. Be careful if arriving using tomtom. Read carefully the instructions on the website (we didn't... More

My partner and I went here for a one night stay at the beginning of December. The location of the hotel is lovely but there isn't much to do really within it. A summary of our stay - getting to the hotel was okay, we ended going past the entrance twice as it wasn't well sign posted. Once in we... More

What a start to 2012 !!! I`d never heard of this hotel, my husband booked it as a suprise. The hotel is yards from the Cathedral and after dark the view is spectacular, with the cathedral and surrounding buildings lit up. In the evenings you more or less have the place to yourself, as of course the public are not... More

We stayed for one night in December. Location could not have been better and the breakfast was good. It was lovely to wake up seeing the cathedral outside our window and it was also good value for money; and the staff were friendly. The only downside for us was the bed, which was too short and extremely poor mattress (which... More

Stayed here in November 2011 during my local Uni graduation weekend. Stayed in the discount rooms in the annex building at the back of the hotel (cheapest). Location absolutely unbeatable - slap bang in the middle of Canterbury and walking distance to everywhere. One of the hotels absolute strongest points. Reasonably priced - the discount rooms are what they are,... More
