Durlock Lodge  

Lovely staffed and in pleasant surroundings, liked the continental style of breakfast which was brought to just outside the room, as close to room service as you can get.

We booked a double room at the lodge. Just before our arrival at 5.00 pm my daughter said she would also like to stay overnight, after telephoning the Lodge to check availability we were delighted to hear there was a room available. We had a very comfortable overnight stay in lovely clean rooms. Our two dogs were also welcomed. The continental breakfast was perfect. The location was perfect for countryside and coastal visits. We look foreward to booking a longer stay in the near future. Thank you

A delightful property, in a pretty village location, which made the perfect base for exploring the Thanet area. We parked the car, and let the train take the strain! It's just five minutes stroll through the village, to the station, which was delightful in itself. Minster village has a variety of good restaurants. We enjoyed a meal at Archies and Gozzi. We stayed in a twin roon at Durlock Lodge, which we found to be very comfortable, and enjoyed the "help yourself style" continental breakfast in the comfort of our own room. The croissants deserve a special mention! Our hosts were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We would definately return for another week, or maybe even two!

It was only on arrival at the bed and breakfast accomodation that we discovered that we had to make our own breakfast from supplies that were left in (clean and tidy) location on the landing near the bedrooms.The very limited choice of cold food that was available was not to our liking. The only warm or prepared food available was via the kettle in our bedroom, which we could use to make our own tea/coffee.On top of this we had to pay yhe caount in advance " as it was thought we would find this more convenient".

£90 for the room I had was poor value, it lacked comfort. The shower was very poor and the bed wasn't very comfortable - these are basics. Carpets in bathrooms is a no no for me and in general the carpets weren't very clean. The help yourself continental breakfast, which you are expected to eat in your room, was also a low point. No hot breakfast having paid £90 wasn't good value for money. Ultimately I don't blame them for increasing their prices when the Open Golf was on but a sense of value for money needs to be retained.

Very cosy old inn with a great look across to the old abbey. Nice breakfast arragement: one can take a tablet with milk, juice, butter, jam and warm croissants to the room. Recommended!

we were very impressed with Durlock Lodge and would heartily recommend it to anyone wanting a very peaceful location, clean accomodation and friendly and helpful hosts. Good pubs offering reasonably priced food within walking distance and good and regular train service into Canterbury, which we greatly enjoyed. Plenty of seaside resorts on the doorstep as well! All in all, very good.

A good size room and quiet location, easy parking for the car and one could come and go from the room as one pleased. This suited us as we had no use for any additional services as we wanted a base to go out and explore this part of Kent.

We have no complaints.

The ambience!

Trotz Verspätung beim Einchecken wurden wir sehr herzlich begrüßt und aufs Zimmer gebracht. Auch für Fragen zur Umgebung wurde sich Zeit genommen. Dieses Haus ist so einfach liebevoll eingerichtet und hat so viel Charme. Unser Zimmer war sehr romantisch und vorallem sehr sauber. Konnen auf unserem Zimmer frühstücken und anschließend in wenigen Autominuten viele Ausflugsziele erreichen, wie zu einem der Strände oder eins der naheliegenden Städtchen besuchen. Genau so haben wir uns unser Wochenende vorgestellt. Vielen Dank Mrs & Mr Sworder.

Sehr schönes, kleines und ruhig gelegenes Haus mit mittelalterlichem Charme. Sehr nette Eigner, informations-und hilfsbereit. Recht zentral gelegen für die unterschiedlichsten Unternehmungen im Umkreis.

De B en B is goed en rustig gelegen op 5 minuten lopen van het kleine centrum van Minster. De kamer was prima en het ontvangst hartelijk. Goede parkeermogelijkheid. Thee op de kamer.

Geen brood (wel croissant en cake) bij het "help yourself" ontbijt. Vroeg wakker door lichtdoorlatende gordijnen.
