This is one of the warmest B&Bs I have ever stayed in. The hotel is very clean, the interior is newly renovated, the bathroom is large, the bed is comfortable, and the waiters are very friendly. The disadvantage is that it is on the side of the road, not suitable for travelers who are afraid of noise, and the breakfast is very simple. It is a bit convenient to drive between Canterbury and Dover White Cliffs, and there are parking spaces.

We had a fantastic stay at The Bat and Ball. The family room was well equipped for all of us (2 adults and 2 children aged 2 and 4) and very comfortable. It is just a short distance away from the city centre which was perfect for us. We had a lovely breakfast in the morning and will definitely look to stay again when visiting again in the future.

This was a single-night stopover in Canterbury, and a very pleasant room in which to spend it. If the room was a bit too warm, the management had thoughtfully provided a very efficient cooling fan, and we both slept well as a result. Only one window would open, but that proved not to be a problem. And the continental breakfast was very good. But be warned - if like us, you have no/limited mobile internet, you may have trouble getting in. We set off from home before the management sent us the key box details (despite our asking that they be sent in advance) and as a result, we could not get in. Thankfully, a passer-by kindly let us use his mobile, but this is not something I'd like to have to count on. Hence the reduced note for service.

Ruime kamers, zeer netjes, heel mooie badkamer, zeer hygiënisch, regendouche, zalig bed, ontbijt was voldoende en zeer verzorgd, personeel is supervriendelijk en zeer behulpzaam. We mochten de afgesloten koer gebruiken om onze fietsen te stallen. Heel dicht bij het centrum, 20’ stappen.
