The house
A modern hotel inside the cathedral precincts, in a private courtyard with views of the Bell Harry tower. It is run by the cathedral itself. It has 28 en-suite rooms in the main building, all with views, and cheaper rooms in the Burgate annexe, on a second floor with no lift or views. For families or groups there is a two-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom historic house, the Necessarium, for eight people.
What makes it different
While you stay there, entry to the cathedral is free, and you can stroll round the precincts in the morning before it opens to the public. A full English breakfast is included and served in the Refectory; the bar is open until 22:00.
Getting there and parking
From Canterbury East station it is about a ten-minute walk, and from Canterbury West, about fifteen. If you come by car, the hotel has few spaces, at £10 a night and by reservation; otherwise it sells vouchers for the city's public car parks.
