The Bat And Ball – A Favorite for Families in Canterbury

The Bat And Ball offers family rooms with private bathrooms and double rooms with flat-screen TVs and electric kettles. A free private parking on-site without reservation is available, a rare convenience for a city center accommodation. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property for all guests.

A daily continental buffet breakfast with fresh pastries, juice, and fruits is included in the stay. The breakfast room also offers seating for a pleasant start to the day. Dietary options for lactose and gluten intolerant guests are available upon request, as noted in guest reviews.

The hotel is located 1.7 km from Canterbury East Train Station and a 17-minute walk from Canterbury Cathedral. The University of Kent is 5 km away, and the Kent County Cricket Ground is directly across the road. A Sainsbury's Local is opposite the property for easy access to essentials.

Family rooms are available that accommodate larger groups, with options like the Family Room with Private Bathroom. A communal lounge area with a shared fridge allows guests to store and eat their own food. The property has non-smoking rooms throughout and provides a fan in rooms for warmer weather.

Guests can request room servicing and towel changes as needed, rather than automatic daily servicing. The reception staff speak English and are available to assist with queries via phone or in person during breakfast hours. Self check-in with a key code system is provided for flexible arrival.
