Sandwich hotels

Hotels in Sandwich

This charismatic Kent town is known for its fine selection of medieval landmarks and was once an important maritime centre, despite now being well inland from the North Sea. The settlement overlooks Sandwich Bay, which includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a very important nature reserve.

Local attractions

Sandwich is home to the Guildhall Museum, where you can discover the history of the area during the Roman period and the Middle Ages, and observe a remarkably well preserved ancient court room. The town is also the site of the Norman and Gothic-style St Mary's Church, which, despite being redundant, is a Grade I listed structure and was extensively refurbished in the Victorian period. Another place worth visiting in Sandwich is the White Mill, which is more than 250 years old and is now a popular heritage centre.

The Secret Gardens of Sandwich

One of the great symbols of the Garden County, the Secret Gardens of Sandwich are surrounded by Sandwich's historic stone walls and overlooked by a majestic manor house that is also Grade I listed. The gardens have benefited from a comprehensive restoration in recent years, and contain a charming Edwardian-themed Tea Room where you can enjoy the finest teas and plenty of fresh snacks.

Where to dine in the town – ideas

If you're after some divine Italian flavours and freshly made Pizzas and pasta dishes, you can dine at Luigi's restaurant, or head to the George & Dragon pub for other delightful cuisine. The Hop and Huffkin restaurant, meanwhile offers other mouthwatering British dishes, while the Thai Time restaurant is the place to be if you're after some wonderful Southeast Asian flavours.
