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.
