Historic Lodge within Canterbury Cathedral precincts with private gated access and complimentary cathedral entry

Amenities & Grounds

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge is located in the private and peaceful grounds of Canterbury Cathedral, with gated access and 24-hour security provided by the cathedral's own police force. Guests have free entry to the cathedral and can explore the Campanile Garden and the rooftop garden overlooking the cathedral towers. The lodge offers on-site parking (pre-bookable at £10 per day), wheelchair-accessible rooms with emergency cord in bathroom, and a chapel/shrine on the premises.

Rooms & Accommodation

Many rooms at Canterbury Cathedral Lodge offer direct views of the cathedral tower, with options including Double Room with View, Twin Room with View, and the annex Burgate rooms. The Two-Bedroom Apartment is suitable for families, while the Single Room Annex in a historic building provides a private bathroom and smart TV. All rooms feature tea/coffee making facilities, a safe, and fluffy towels; some annex rooms require climbing up to 40 stairs (no lift).

Dining

Breakfast is served daily in the Refectory dining room overlooking a courtyard garden, offering a full English breakfast cooked to order plus continental options with Biddenden apple juice. The lounge bar serves drinks and light snacks, and the Refectory terrace is open for outdoor breakfast in good weather. Guests receive 10% discount at selected local restaurants by showing their Cathedral Lodge card; special diet menus can be arranged.

Location & Surroundings

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge is situated within the cathedral precincts, a two-minute walk from Canterbury's historic centre with access to The Marlowe Theatre, Westgate Parks, and the coastal towns of Whitstable and Broadstairs. Guests can attend evensong at the cathedral or join educational tours and activities on the grounds. The lodge is 700 metres from Canterbury West Railway Station and a five-minute walk from the Canterbury Tales attraction.

Business & Events

The lodge provides meeting and banquet facilities with capacity for private events in the scenic Campanile Garden. A 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and fax/photocopying services are available for business travellers.
