Second time staying here and it was just as perfect! Staff are so friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and well decorated, the bed is the best ever!! Will be coming back again. Highly recommended 🥰💕

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.

The Bat and Ball is a small hotel with a few rooms. But still they managed to offer a great staying experience. Excellent communication about arriving, nice and clean rooms, great beds, a small but delicious breakfast and more. Bat and Ball exceeded our expectations!

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.

Have never been to Canterbury, but being off work for a week we looked for a short stay in the UK. We decided on Canterbury due to the historic town, few good Zoo options and the Spitfire and Hurricane museum. Perfect B&B, clean, comfy and warm whenever we returned in the evening. Decent continental breakfast too. Fair walk to town centre but we liked the fresh air and step count. Parking useful too. Staff/hosts lovely and friendly.
