The Montagu
Sandwich, Kent
Stay right in the heart of Sandwich on one of the town’s oldest lanes and surrounded by medieval streets. The Montagu is a beautifully restored holiday home combining character, comfort and an exceptional location, ideal if you want to park up, explore on foot and stay somewhere with real atmosphere.
Inside, original beams worn smooth over centuries sit within a professional restoration using solid, high-quality fittings and finishes. The palette is soft and muted, allowing the architecture to speak for itself which gives the house a settled, timeless feel.
Comfort is built in. Underfloor heating runs throughout, keeping
…
the house warm and cosy year-round, and there’s a large smart TV for relaxed evenings indoors after a day out.
The open-plan kitchen and living space form the heart of the home, designed for easy mornings, shared meals and time spent together.
The accommodation is almost entirely on one level with a single step into the kitchen from one of the bedrooms and another from the kitchen into the living space. The king-size bedroom has its own en-suite, while a second bathroom serves the rest of the house. From the second bedroom, a door opens onto the courtyard garden, bringing in natural light and a gentle, harmonious connection to the outdoors.
Just moments away, the River Stour offers beautiful riverside walks straight from the door. A short stroll also brings you to the departure point for riverboat trips where seal spotting is often part of the experience – a real highlight for children and adults alike.
For livelier days out, Blue Flag beaches at Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate are all within easy reach. For National Trust walks and dramatic coastal scenery, St Margaret’s Bay is around 25 minutes by car.
Golfers are exceptionally well catered for, with three superlative championship courses close by: Royal St George’s Golf Club, Prince’s Golf Club and Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club, all celebrated for their historic links and international standing.
Perfect for…
• Couples looking for a characterful break with everything on the doorstep
• History lovers drawn to medieval towns and original features
• Walkers exploring the River Stour and surrounding countryside
• Golfers looking to experience world-renowned links courses
• Families wanting calm surroundings offering beautiful beaches and coastal days out

Parking
As with most homes in the historic centre of Sandwich, there’s no guaranteed on-street parking directly outside the house, and parking is restricted along the narrow medieval roads. If you’re arriving by car, you’re welcome to stop briefly to unload. Free parking is usually available on Manwood’s Road, around a 5–6 minute walk away. There’s also a convenient paid car park on the Quay, just a 2-minute walk from the house, as well as three larger pay-and-display car parks serving visitors to Sandwich. Most guests find parking straightforward and enjoy a relaxed stay once they’re parked up.
