Hotel overview
Situated along a charming street adorned with flower boxes, this intimate 3-star hotel brings a relaxed and welcoming vibe to the historic town of Sandwich. Its laid-back rooms offer the essentials for a comfortable stay, with clean, cozy spaces that cater well to families and solo travelers alike. Free Wi-Fi keeps guests connected, while a complimentary breakfast sets a pleasant tone for the day.
The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar provide a casual yet lively atmosphere, doubling as a local live music venue that often fills evenings with entertainment and friendly energy. Though simple in decor, the pub-style eatery earns praise for tasty meals and a varied selection of drinks, making it a favored gathering spot among visitors and locals. Despite lacking air conditioning and parking, the spot’s accessibility and quiet surroundings balance practicality with charm.
Its location is a definite plus — less than a minute from a bus stop and walking distance to Salutation Gardens, this setting invites exploration of Sandwich’s cultural draws such as Richborough Castle Museum. Several recent guest reviews highlight the welcoming staff and value, with mentions of excellent food and a cozy setting perfect for relaxing after sightseeing or a day on the road.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This place has just been taken over and I must say they have really done well with place! The golf sim is 10/10 and reasonably priced! Look forward to going back.”
“Just popped in for a drink on Sunday but the staff were so lovely that we thought we would chance it and have lunch. Really glad we did it was fabulous, hot and tasty(cauliflower cheese was to die for), well cooked vegetables, big portions of meat, lashings of gravy. Couldn’t fault it at all. Couple of great beers on tap and the wine was good. The bill was excellent as well! Very good value for money. Sandwich you are very lucky, this place is a hidden gem.”
“Very pleasant experience on our one night midweek stay. Our room, although plain and simple, was really clean and had everything we needed. Bed was really comfy. Plenty of Tea and coffee provided as well. Our only issue was that the shower mixer tap was very stiff and difficult to turn off. This was raised when booking out and taken on board to be dealt with. Would have been 5 stars but unfortunately the chef had an injury so no evening meals were available. The breakfast though was excellent. Huge and perfectly cooked. Really nice. Would definitely stay again.”
“Superb breakfast, the food was excellent, on time, hot and exceptionally tasty. The young lady serving was attentive, fast, polite, friendly, efficient and very friendly. Congratulations for having such a wonderful lady taking care of the customer. I have recommended it to my family, my friends and my colleagues. Thank you Nigel Clarke”
“Had a Mexican Meal here on the 24th Feb ... with great friends and the meal was brilliant and well worth the money. I had the Tacos with salmon and garlic bread...DELICIOUS and also 7pm to 8pm 2 cocktails for £15 who could ask for more . We all had a great night singing and dancing and the staff really didn't mind. Great atmosphere all round and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be back.”
“The rooms are clean and tidy. The service is excellent, the city is quiet and peaceful. Max 10 min walk to the train station. The bar menu is interesting and unique. Don't skimp on jalapeno and chili. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a live music evening. I missed the breakfast menu. The hotel is pet friendly.”
