Sandwich Secret Gardens of Sandwich Hotels

"We booked the Lily Room at the Blue Pigeon for our wedding anniversary, hoping for a quiet, restorative escape after a demanding few months. Unfortunately, the stay didn't quite deliver on that promise — though it wasn't without its highlights. Arrival set an unexpected tone. We walked into what appeared to be a large, lively bottomless brunch gathering — very much a party atmosphere — and could barely hear the receptionist over the noise. For guests seeking a peaceful retreat, this was quite a jolt, and felt at odds with how the hotel presents itself. The room itself was genuinely lovely. Beautifully decorated, well-furnished, and thoughtfully put together with real attention to detail — exactly what you'd hope for at this price point, and credit where it's due. Sadly, sleep was impossible. The church directly opposite chimes on the hour, every hour, throughout the night — something we weren't forewarned about. The room also ran very hot despite no radiators being on, and opening the window only amplified the bells. By morning, having had no sleep whatsoever, we missed breakfast entirely so can’t comment on that. The Blue Pigeon clearly has the bones of something special, shows real care in its design. But the overall experience felt confused — the branding suggests a calm, boutique bolthole, while the reality on our visit was quite different. A little more consistency between the two, would consider returning! "

"Great value for money"

"We had a fabulous stay at the Coach House. From the moment we drove up to the house, we were wowed. Very spacious, beautifully decorated, all home comforts and more. Great location for all ages, country walks and minutes to the local pebble beach. Sandwich had plenty of restaurants and pubs. Lots of little shops. Deal was lovely for a day out. We will be going back for sure!"

"A wonderful stay for our family at Christmas. The house was well decorated, super festive and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook the Christmas dinner. The games room and hot tub were such good additions and well enjoyed. It was great to have walking routes directly from the house and loved exploring the area. We will definitely consider the house again for any future family gatherings."

"Fantastic cottage, modern and beautifully decorated. Very spacious and extremely warm and cosy. We arrived to find a fabulous welcome gift of fizz and delicious biscuits. The cottage is stunningly furnished with all you need and more. We had an amazing stay over new year 25/26 and enjoyed some great walks around the surrounding areas and enjoyed some great meals in the town in the various pubs and restaurants. There are also some fabulous shops to explore. We would highly recommend a stay at middle cottage and will definitely return, it’s a great base to explore Sandwich and surrounding towns."

"Lovely house, thank you.Only slight confusion was that the key fob for the garage wasnt on the hall table, but we found it in the key safe. "

"Great location ro explore that part of Kent and having the two properties really suited our needs for the three nights. Lovely little welcome pack was much appreciated and well used! We could well be back - thanks! "

"Moat Farm House was fantastic for our three generation family Christmas. The house is full of character and very well equipped. The location is perfect with just a few minutes walk to the village where we went for Christmas carols at the church. Everyone enjoyed our stay and the younger grandkids were quite upset when we left and asked if we could go again, I would highly recommend this house for family get togethers."

"A great bedroom in a house that's full of character. En-suite shower-room with a fabulous shower. Warm and welcoming hosts. Fantastic breakfast with seriously good vegetarian options. Go there! We certainly will again. "
