A charming quayside stay awaits at a delightful boutique hotel in historic Sandwich - includes breakfast, and dinner options
  • Haven on the water: Your sophisticated Sandwich stay starts here, on the banks of the River Stour - that’s where you’ll find The Bell Hotel. Looking out across the quay, this classy boutique boasts buckets of historic charm. Blending modern chic with 19th-century style, the hotel carefully incorporates its many period features into the refined interior design, and décor tastefully honours its maritime past.

  • Local and delicious: Mornings start off with a menu of breakfast favourites, so you’ll be set whether it’s syrup-drizzled pancakes or a full English that takes your fancy. When you get peckish later on, find a spot in the elegant restaurant, or take a seat in the more-relaxed bar and brasserie. Using the finest of Kentish ingredients, the kitchen team whip up seasonal, regional goodness - feast on everything from reimagined pub classics to fine-dining cuisine. In warm weather, you can even dine on the terrace, overlooking the medieval Barbican.

  • Dreamy accommodation: Individually styled, guestrooms here are elegance personified. In every room, you can expect to find chic, muted tones and plush fabrics, plus a host of modern conveniences to make your stay ultra-comfortable. Classic furnishings and simply-stylish décor complete the picture, and some rooms also offer views of the river or the historic town.

The hotel is located in the town of Sandwich in Kent. If you’re arriving by car you’ll find the hotel a few minutes off the A256. Sandwich train station is a 10-minute walk away.

The Bell Hotel, The Quay, Sandwich CT13 9EF

The medieval town of Sandwich is brimming with history, with timber-framed buildings on every corner, plenty of old stone churches, and the ruins of a Roman fort just beyond the town limits. It’s not just a haven for history buffs, though - golf lovers will be thrilled by the proximity of both the world-famous Royal St. George’s Golf Club (the location of many Open Championships) and Prince’s Golf Club, where you can tee off with views of the sea.
 
Just a short drive away, the shingly shores of Sandwich Bay stretch out for miles, perfect for long walks by the sea. For more seaside excitement, you’ll find the towns of Deal, Ramsgate and Broadstairs all easily accessible by car or rail. If you’re itching to explore even further afield, the cathedral city of Canterbury is just over 30 minutes away by car.
