    Food was delicious at breakfast. Some of the staff were very preoccupied, which is why I gave a slightly lower rating. My room was delightful, spacious and comfortable.

    My room was value for the money. It was a fair size with a view of the cathedral. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The included breakfast was excellent. Entrance to the cathedral included.

    The location inside the cathedral grounds is wonderful; among other things it entitles you to free reign to visit the cathedral during all opening hours, as often as you like. It is also quiet, away from the crowds in town

    Our stay at the Cathedral Lodge was a very special one, its location so close to the Cathedral is amazing. The bedroom was very suitable & we loved having breakfast in the Refectory. All staff were most accommodating.
