Amazing hotel

The hotel is wonderfully designed to bland in the historical architecture of the Cathedral which is free to visit for the guests. Peaceful garden overlooking the cathedral was wonderful too. Seeing the sunrise over the cathedral right from my bed was breathtaking. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend 👌

10/10 Exceptional

Delightful stay

The location within the cathedral grounds is a special feature. Lovely to wander around in the evening and easy for the restaurants. Breakfast was fabulous with a choice of cooked or a large continental menu. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a smallish double and the shower was adequate but not a huge space. Overall a delightful experience.

Room with a view

The hotel was excellent - right in the precincts of the Cathedral. Room was on the small side but adequate and had a lovely view of the garden courtyard

Great Location

The hotel is in a great location and onsite parking is available if you reserve in advance. The breakfast was excellent and the room was generally comfortable although it lacked any seating other than on the bed.
Terry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is centrally located, and the staff are helpful. The rooms leave a bit to be desired, but overall comfortable stay. The wifi (at least in our room) was unusable, on phones as well as the television in the room.

The best location right on the Cathedral property and two minute walk to city center. I would only request that the lodge send parking instructions to anyone that will park there. We drove around for 30 minutes before we found out way in.
