Among the holiday cottages Kent can offer is this cosy cottage in the centre of Sandwich, one of the best preserved medieval towns in England. In the past Sandwich was an important port and one of the Cinque Ports - five coastal towns (four of which are in Kent) - Sandwich, Dover, Hythe and New Romney (the other being Hastings) - which agreed to provide the king with men and ships in return for special privileges. Before the River Stour silted up, the river was wide and deep enough for great sailing ships. Today, the ships have been replaced by smaller craft plying the river and moored in the quayside.

This well-presented cosy cottage for two enjoys an enviable location, quietly tucked away in a courtyard development just 200 yards from the heart of Sandwich, one of the most beautifully preserved medieval towns in Britain. Within 50 yards, a lovely riverside park (pictured) is ideal for a peaceful amble, and pubs, restaurants, bars, cafés, cinema, independent shops, ancient churches, the White Mill windmill and museum, farm shops and the railway station are all an easy walk. The shingle beach at Sandwich Bay lies 2 miles away and many nearby historic sites including Richborough Roman fort and amphitheatre, and the fascinating castles at Deal, Walmer and Dover are in the care of English Heritage. The White Cliffs of Dover (10 miles) enjoy worldwide fame and day trips to Europe are easily accessible.
