Located in the centre of historic Sandwich, this spot is perfect for exploring the best of Kent’s coast and countryside. Wander the medieval streets with their timber-framed houses and friendly cafes, then make your way to Sandwich Bay (2 miles on foot or 3 miles by car), where huge sandy beaches, rolling dunes and nature reserves are made for lazy days and wildlife spotting. Keen golfers can take on the famous Royal St George’s Golf Club (1.5 miles), while avid walkers can follow the trails through Pegwell Bay Country Park (3 miles) and watch curlews, oystercatchers, and Brent geese swoop over the salt marshes. Deal (6 miles) is packed with charm, from its Georgian seafront lined with pubs to its links with Charles Dickens. Staying here means you’re never far from fresh air, good food and a proper taste of Kent’s relaxed, easy-going spirit.

This cottage is packed with charming touches and personal details, giving it a cosy, lived-in feel that makes you feel instantly welcome. Walk into the large kitchen/diner, where the well-equipped, characterful kitchen with a handy island makes cooking together a joy, and the spacious dining table comfortably seats everyone for laughter-filled meals. After a day of exploring, kick back in the lounge with your weary feet up and lose yourself in a box set on the Smart TV while everyone finds their spot on the sofas. This remarkable room is filled with captivating details and warm exposed beams that create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. When you’re not gazing upon trinkets and paintings, admire the pretty enclosed garden from the window seat and enjoy a cup of cocoa. The hallway leads to a washer/dryer cupboard, a separate WC, and a shower room. Upstairs, settle down in one of three uniquely designed bedrooms: a super king, a twin, and a single. The bathroom is also conveniently located here, providing the perfect space to refresh for another day of adventures together.

The enclosed garden is peaceful and pretty. Children will love running freely, while adults can enjoy the gentle hum of birdsong. The table and chairs make it an ideal spot for light lunches or evening drinks. There is on-street parking for 1 hour outside the property (helpful for dropping off luggage on arrival), and a long-stay pay-and-display car park can be found 500 metres away.
