This is the best accommodation in Canterbury. Your feel literally to be within the garden of the Cathedral. You wake up and see the monumental building. The lodge gave us free entry cards into the cathedral for the whole stay meaning that we could go in anytime. This was simply magnificent. We visited the cathedral for an evensong and listened to the Cathedral Choir and the organ, too. Hence there is not much else to see in Canterbury (than the cathedral), it is best to be close to the main attraction. The lodge itself is very safe and friendly. Our room on the first floor was well-equipped, with a safe too. There were hardly any noises, so we had a great sleep. Staff was helpful and they were always smiling :) Breakfast was also very tasty. They have a system that you need to reserve a time spot for the breakfast (the restaurant is not big enough for everyone at the same time), and it worked, really. We could not try the restaurant during our stay because there were other organised events there. We came by car and luckily could get a parking place within the gated area. However, do not count on it because there are limited number of parking places, and do not worry because you can park elsewhere, too. Overally, we had a great stay.

Everything! This is your quintessential pub stay in the garden of England. The quaintest little village. The pub is amazing, the food was incredible, we had dinner and breakfast. The people were so welcoming and friendly. The rooms are modern and decor lovely and the Chocolate Port in your room is a special touch. There’s nothing we didn’t like about the Duke William and we will be back.

    The location was fantastic, just minutes walk to the city center shops. It was good to have free carparking at the front of the property. The room was clean and spacious with furniture in keeping with the buildings character. The bed was comfortable, and the linen was good quality. Everywhere was clean.
