Frequently Asked Questions

What is the historical origin and naming story behind The Bat and Ball?

Originally operating as "The First and Last" pub and later as L'Hote Boutique Hotel, the building was revived in 2024 as The Bat & Ball B&B, a direct reference to its position near the St. Lawrence Ground, home of Kent County Cricket Club.

How convenient is the location for attending county cricket matches or exploring the city?

It sits directly along Old Dover Road just a few minutes' walk from the St. Lawrence Cricket Ground entrance, while medieval Canterbury city centre, the cathedral, and train stations are roughly a 15-to-20 minute stroll down the road.

What room layouts and dining inclusions are provided for staying guests?

The B&B features six individually decorated en-suite rooms ranging from compact doubles and king rooms to spacious family rooms. A complimentary continental buffet breakfast with fresh pastries, juices, and fruits is included with every stay.
