The Bat and Ball B&B - Canterbury

We stayed here due to proximity to a wedding we were attending. Check in was easy (you pick up keys from a lockbox - there is no check in desk), and the room was nice and clean, with a comfy bed. There was instant coffee in the room, and a kettle.||Breakfast was fine (cereal, toast, coffee from a pod machine) - it would have been nice to be offered a hot option or a better coffee. There was gluten free cereal as well.||Overall, it was a trouble free stay and we would come back.

The room was great. The bed and pillows so comfortable. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. We had no problem with road noise in room 1. A short walk to Canterbury itself. Although we caught a taxi back in the evening which was only £6. Recommended and would return.

We enjoyed our stay. Room was on the peaceful side of the road, woke up with birds singing. Walking distance to the centre, around 25min. Cross the road is Sainsbury extra open until 11 which is very convenient. Breakfast was tasty and healthy options were available. Only negative, we couldn't find anyone to top up coffee machine with hot water, we noticed other people as well looking for the person in charge of breakfast but no luck finding them.

My recent stay at Bat and Ball was a pleasant experience. It´s located outside the city centre but you can easily walk 25 minutes or take the bus or taxi in short time. The staff were all friendly and helpful, but I’d like to give a special nod to the young lady who worked there on March 30 for her thoughtful attention. She welcomed all guests at breakfast with a kind and service-minded attitude .
My room was impressively clean and tidy by this lady. Towels neatly folded, cushions nicely arranged on the bed, and everything in order. It’s not often you find someone with such a good eye for detail these days, and it made my stay feel special.

Bat and ball is a lovely spot, and I’d happily recommend it to others albeit not located in central Canterbury.

This accommodation provides comfortable rooms with continental buffet breakfast. We had a warm welcome, and the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. You receive services you request - so if you want your room made up and towels changed you just ask. But they don't assume it - some people prefer that. Location is amazing to go to watch cricket - literally across the road from the ground. Breakfast was adequate, with options for lactose and gluten intolerant people catered for, but very carbohydrate heavy if you're a type 2 diabetic!! The fresh fruit was the best bit. We were disappointed that the breakfast room, which we were assured we could use for meals, was not at all as well equipped for picnic meals or takeaways as we had been led to believe, but we have fed this back to the property. There is limited parking on site. We will stay there again if we get the opportunity.

Myself & my partner stayed for 1 night to see a show. From start to finish the service was impeccable even accomodating an early check in. Added bonus if parking & only 10-15 minute walk into town.
The room was beautifully decorated, spotless with comfortable bed , luxury toiletries with tea & coffee making facilities provided. Definitely worth a visit , will be back soon for another visit

This was our first stay at The Bat and Ball. It was only one night, but we are definitely returning with our family. We slept comfortably and the breakfast was really good. Still reminiscing about the pastries. Thank you to the staff as well as we felt welcomed .

Great bed/bed linen. Shower was excellent. Clean and no water splash into bathroom area. Little dressing room was lovely. Breakfast simple but fresh and tasty. Coffee machine leaked every morning but staff kindly mopped up. Overall very good and comfy.
