Sandwich in Kent

Mark and David's verdict

Sandwich is a real gem. One of the best-preserved medieval towns in England, it is a charming little place, its fascinating nooks and crannies easily explored on foot. At its heart, beside the River Stour, is the Bell Hotel which has great-value rooms and superb local food. Perfect for a weekend.

The Bell Hotel says

Situated in the heart of historic Sandwich, we have built our reputation for excellence amongst visitors and locals alike.

Recently restored and refurbished, the Bell Hotel was built in the 19th century but has a chic, modern feel. It’s a stylish, comfortable and beautiful place whether you are staying with us or simply enjoying the restaurant or bars.

The emphasis is on great hospitality and a passion for serving fresh, seasonal and local food. The Old Dining Room restaurant competes with the best in Kent, recently receiving an AA Rosette.

We have visitors from all round the globe, many of them repeat guests. This, together with earning accolades in the Michelin Guide and the Good Hotel Guide, is testament to our success in achieving high standards.

One of the Cinque Ports, Sandwich itself is reckoned to be the most complete medieval town in England. In fact, Sandwich was the first in England to have a conservation order placed on the entire town, and it has more listed buildings per acre than anywhere else in the country.
