Room was beautiful, loved and loved the bathroom. 2 things that let it down was the amount of parking apace which made me spent money to go park somewhere else for the night which was unnecessary.Stairs narrow and both me and my partner nealry fell down. . Breakfast was something to forget as there options wasnt great and not alot off variety. ,would have loved a full english breakfast. Beside lovely place

Loved the bar and ball. Obviously someone really cares about comfort and standards. The young lady at breakfast was a very friendly person and all in all i would highly recommend the bat and ball for a place to stay while visiting canterbury. Beautiful bedding too.

Large comfortable room with tea and coffee making facilities. Good continental buffet breakfast selection. Close to the city and amenities. Only 4 parking spaces for 6 rooms is a little bit of a detraction from what was otherwise a good stay.

Sehr gemuetliche und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer am Rande von Canterbury. Das Familienzimmer ist sehr geraeumig und verfuegt uber Kaffee/Thee. Die Innenstadt ist zu Fuss erreichbar und die Parkplaetze bei der Unterkunfst sind angenehm. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Fruehstuek ok.
