Guests say
Finglesham Lodge in Canterbury offers a peaceful and clean retreat, ideal for exploring the area. Guests praise the well-equipped, spacious, and comfortable lodges, noting the cleanliness and friendly staff. While some mention a lack of on-site facilities and minor maintenance issues, the tranquil location and homely feel are consistently appreciated, making it a favoured destination for a relaxing break.
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning how clean and well-kept the accommodations are. However, a single mention of cobwebs slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly regarded for its peacefulness and convenience for exploring Canterbury and the surrounding areas. The proximity to the park and ride is a bonus, although no specific negative comments are made about the location.
Comfort is a strong point for the lodge, with guests finding the furnishings comfortable and the lodges spacious and well-designed. The presence of a large bath and cozy atmosphere contributes to the high score.
Facilities are adequate, with lodges being well-equipped. However, some guests missed additional on-site amenities like a clubhouse or swimming pool, and there were minor comments about kitchenware and maintenance issues like dull knives and cracked tiles.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Not much on the site in terms of facilities, however if you like this then great. However if you are looking for a club house (bar/restaurant), launderette, swimming pool, etc then you need to look elsewhere.
