Canterbury Lodge offers a spacious suite-style one bedroom with double aspect windows and compact equipped living accommodation all contained within a detached lodge.\nDiscreetly set back from the road within the grounds of the main house completely private including a quaint courtyard that can be enjoyed in the summer months. The immaculate space will be a haven to retreat to after a busy days sight seeing or for those residing on a temporary basis working or studying in the city.\nA visit to Canterbury is not complete without a tour of the magnificent cathedral perhaps a trip to The Canterbury Tales to immerse oneself in the medieval past of the city or take time to enjoy a trip to the theatre or a summer boating punt along the Stour River - just some of the many things to see and do in this wonderful part of Kent."

What makes this area so special

Situated on the south side of the city, it makes a great base for exploring the sights such as Canterbury Cathedral or St Augustine’s Abbey. For a different view there are punts on the River Stour and lots to learn with Historic River Tours. Canterbury is also home to Kent County Cricket Club, just up the road.

Would certainly book the Canterbury lodge again, first a thank you to our host Simon. He was thoughtful even up to the point of contacting us prior to our stay, and asking what type of wine and bread we would like in our welcome pack which was greatly appreciated. Could not fault the accomadation and the location was perfect for visiting the cost and visiting different parts of Kent and beyond.

Simon and Mary were kind and thoughtful hosts who welcomed us on arrival, even down to the point of asking our preferences for milk and wine included in the welcome pack! The lodge had all we needed for a very comfortable stay and was conveniently situated for trips out to surrounding attractions. It is a 20 to 30 minute walk into the city but on a regular bus route to Canterbury bus station, and from there to the coastal towns where parking can be difficult and is expensive.

I had a great time staying at Canterbury Lodge, and the owners (Simon and Mary) were very welcoming. Good parking, and plenty of space and it has all the kitchen appliances you need (though I tended to eat out). It has a large, comfortable bedroom. It’s a 15/20 minute walk into Canterbury itself, but there’s a bus stop just 50 meters down the road.

We had a lovely week at this very comfortable and well equipped property. A comfortable bed, kitchen has fridge and freezer, washing machine, iron and ironing board. The bathroom is downstairs. The location was great for exploring the surrounding towns and villages. Simon & Mary were excellent hosts and made us very welcome. We would thoroughly recommend Canterbury Lodge.

We were supposed to stay for 4nts at the beginning of November but due to lockdown we only got to stay for 2nts which was so disappointing! From the moment we walked in we felt instantly at home, this place is lovely & cosy (exactly as in the photo's) with everything you needed even down to the thoughtful welcome pack,everywhere was thoroughly cleaned & towels were provided. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were very friendly & made us feel very welcome....thank you. We would definitely recommend a stay here & have already passed the details on to a friend!

Wonderful cottage very comfortable and well appointed. The little extras were appreciated too, a welcome hamper and the DVD's to watch were lovely touches. There was everything there that we could want and the owners were on hand if there were any problems, which there wernt. We would love to go and stay again.

A great place to explore this area of Kent, and Canterbury itself. The lodge is cosy, comfortable and very well equipped with a supermarket about a 10 minute walk away. It is perfect for 2 people. You can walk into the city centre, but you can also catch the Number 17 bus which took us right into the centre of town in about 6 minutes. From the bus station you can also travel on to Herne Bay or Whitstable if you want to leave the car at home. About a half hour drive will take you to the seaside towns of Hythe or Deal. Dover Castle and Walmer Castle are also within a short drive away. Would definitely recommend a stay at the lodge, and there is plenty to see and do in the area - even in October.

Well equipped lodge and very comfortable too. Very friendly & helpful owners who are there if you need them. Loved the welcome hamper full of goodies, a lovely touch. Lovely outdoor patio area to sit out with a glass of wine. Canterbury on the doorstep with lovely shops and things to do. I would highly recommend this lodge :-)

The owners are welcoming and friendly, this is our second stay and I’m sure we’ll return in the future. The welcome basket is generous and thoughtful. The property is beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped. It’s conveniently located for exploring the city and the countryside and within easy walking distance of the St Lawrence ground.

Website was easy to use, and communication was always prompt and professional. If I need to stay in Kent again, they’ll definitely be one of my preferred options. An attractive, well-maintained cottage in a quiet part of Canterbury, with a pleasant walk to shops, local pubs and all of the attractions of the historic city centre. The kitchen has everything you’ll need even for a longer stay, including a dishwasher and washing machine, and the welcome basket with wine, coffee and tea, and other nice biscuits and snacks was a great touch! If we need somewhere to stay in Canterbury again, we’ll certainly be back.

They were very friendly and the accommodation was comfortable and well appointed. I’m not sure why I have to do this twice! The main opportunity for improvement would be a light in the bathroom to facilitate wet shaving in front of a mirror, preferably with a power point for dry shaving too...... and a mirror near a power point for a lady to dry her hair.

Excellent service. The Lodge is even prettier than it looks in the pictures! It has an upper floor which makes for a very generous bedroom, and on the lower level is the kitchen/bathroom/sitting room. I’ve never stayed in such a well-appointed and supplied holiday cottage. It was beautifully clean, in a very quiet area, and the landlords are lovely. In sum, this is a little jewel on the west side of Canterbury. I very much hope to stay here again someday!

The booking was very straightforward and efficent The lodge was lovely, kitchen had everything you could think of in appliances etc. Clean and very tastefully furnished. The toilet and shower was quite cramped, not that convenient at night if one needed to use the toilet as it is downstairs.

Everything the letting agency told us they would do, they did - put the deposit to one side, details of where to get the key, etc. The cottage was excellent, facilities, cleanliness, wonderful welcome cake, loaf wine and lovely owners next door, comfy bed, lovely kitchen, etc. Perfect. Nothing more to say, except that we hope to go back again soon. I don’t do surveys, but this is an exception as the property and everything about it was was so good, that I have taken the time to write. Strange terminology - I presume you mean “purchase” of time at Helvetia - we had the most peaceful and relaxing week on a desolate shingle beach with seabirds and wonderful skies for company, in a beautiful, clean, extremely comfortable cottage with lots of thoughtful touches, including a welcome pack of goodies. The owners were very friendly and we hope to return in the new year. The cottage certainly exceeded our expectations, it was warm, comfortable and homely. Thank you.
