On the quayside, overlooking the river, in the historic port of Sandwich, this recently refurbished traditional hotel offers free Wi-Fi, an impressive restaurant and elegant, modern rooms. Stylish and comfortable, the Bell Hotel now has a chic, modern feel, while retaining its reputation for excellence. All of the rooms with attached bathroom have TVs, digital radios, telephones, tea/coffee making facilities and bespoke toiletries. Some rooms have balconies and river views. Guests can enjoy an award winning breakfast in the morning. The restaurant and bar feature honey-colored oak flooring and attractive natural colors. The menu changes regularly to reflect the finest, freshest seasonal produce available locally. Local fish and seafood, salt-marsh lamb and locally sourced meat are simply cooked to bring out their full, natural flavors. Sandwich is one of Kent’s best-kept secrets. One of the region’s Cinque Ports, it is reputed to be the most complete medieval town in England, with more historic listed buildings per acre than anywhere else in the country.
