Unwind by the open fireplace at this retro-styled Victorian terrace property in the heart of the medieval town of Sandwich. With a modern twist on traditional this cottage has a timeless & hip look. And it's on such a picturesque quiet street too. A1580s coaching inn is just around the corner. Sandwich really is a delight with its timber-framed houses leaning over narrow streets at jaunty angles.
Sleeping four in two bedrooms, the accommodation is perfect for families, couples and small groups of friends. Dogs are very welcome.
Kick start your morning with a fresh coffee enjoyed in the flint walled courtyard garden, then take a guided tour of the most complete medieval town in England discovering hidden gems and then head to the quay for delicious fish & chips

Top recommendations: Pop into the George and Dragon, an inn originally built in the 24th year of the 1st reign of Henry VI in 1446 for a local ale or walk across the sand dunes of the Royal St. George's golf club (host to the Open Championship) course to reach the 8 mile long shingle beaches of Sandwich Bay and Deal. At low tide, much of the foreshore here is sand which is ideal for young children to play or walking your dog. Sandwich Bay can also be reached by bike - a 10-minute flat cycle away or a 5 minute drive along a toll road. Explore the remains of a Roman Fort that can be reached by river bus on the River Stour or head out to the estuary seal spotting. The UNESCO site of Canterbury is a short 20-minute drive away and the award winning sandy beaches of Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate are also close by. These beaches have more blue flags than anywhere else in the country. Botany Bay is a photographers delight with its chalk stalks and Joss Bay a firm favourite with the surfers.
From Sandwich Bay you can walk all the way to Deal Beach on a pretty coastline path that leads past two Championship golf courses (40 minutes) and if you have the energy, on to Walmer and Kingsdown Beach with the welcoming Zetland Arms. St. Margaret's Bay is a twenty five minute-drive away and is a wonderful pebble bay nestled between the White Cliffs with rock pools to explore at low tide.
