Guests say
Cranbrook Lodge in Canterbury offers a peaceful and comfortable stay with clean, spacious, and well-equipped accommodations. Guests appreciate the quiet location, ideal for exploring East Kent, and the thoughtful touches like a tray of sachets including milk and tea. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness lapses are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests willing to return.
Reviews are generally positive about cleanliness, with several guests finding the lodge very clean. However, there are a few mentions of specific cleanliness issues, such as cobwebs, mould in showers, and a dirty oven. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The lodge is praised for its good location, central for visiting Kent and offering a peaceful environment. The need for a car is mentioned due to its isolated position, which may affect convenience for some guests.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with good beds and modern appliances. Some guests mention issues with worn-out sofas and light penetration in bedrooms early in the morning, but overall, the comfort level is high.
Facilities are generally good, with all necessary kitchen equipment and well-styled lodges. However, there are comments about the need for updated pans and utensils, a non-functioning fridge light, and minor maintenance issues like a poorly repaired bath and a dipping patio.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a tray with milk and tea sachets, there is not enough information to determine if such gifts are consistent or guaranteed. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, but the gesture is appreciated when present.
