The Abode is a stylish 15th century holiday cottage in the heart of historic Sandwich. This ancient Cinque Ports town, renowned for being one of the few complete mediaeval towns in the UK, is wonderful to stroll around and enjoy the many antique and independent boutique shops, restaurants and cafes, and many historic buildings, as well as the pretty riverside.

Tastefully decorated whilst maintaining its historic charm, the cottage has a sociable open plan sitting / dining room with French doors leading out onto the courtyard, a fully equipped kitchen and upstairs are two luxurious bedrooms, one with a roll top bath, and the shower room.

Outside is a lovely sunny and enclosed walled courtyard garden with dining set and parasol, and sofa and chairs, offering the perfect place to sit and relax after a busy day exploring Sandwich and further afield.

The Abode is also ideal for golfers with the three championship course of Royal St. George's, Prince's and Royal Cinque Ports just a few minutes drive away.

A wonderful place to stay and the owner has certainly put effort into making it very comfortable for visitors. The kitchen provides all the key things you need. The free tea, coffee and many other things were lovely and unexpected. The rear courtyard garden is beautiful and a wonderful suntrap. The cottage is very dog friendly with some free dog treats provided (which were very happily received!). Upstairs the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. All the sites and amenities of Sandwich are within minutes walking distance.

Just a few things to note:
This is an old cottage and upstairs is multi-level and with slightly sloping floors. Currently the TV does not get an aerial signal so you have to use apps for everything. Although hopefully this will be fixed at some point. Don't run the dishwasher and the shower otherwise the shower seems to get very hot. The front of the house is very close to the road and although a relatively quiet road you may need the secondary glazing closed in the front bedroom to limit noise overnight.
