Accommodation & Hotels
The Knowlton Estate offers some private properties to rent for from Friday - Monday (or for a full week). The properties sleep from 2 people to 21. All the properties are beautifully appointed and furnished with every modern convenience and provide the perfect place to relax. Each property is well-maintained and heated, with all linen and towels provided.
We have reserved all of them so please let us know if you think it would suit you and your family / friends.
Either let us know and we will put you in touch with Dawn who manages the properties and weddings at the estate.
Some are walking distance to the main house and others probably a bit far to walk.
We have had a look at a couple of them and were impressed !
Sandwich is a lovely medieval village with a good run of pubs (Sandwich mile) and some cute shops and sits on the river Stour. Great place to spend the day and close to the sea with lots of nice walks around and about.
The Salutation Hotel & Restaurant is the most upmarket accommodation (you will know it if you have watched Gogglebox - or so I am told !)
The Bell Hotel also offers rooms and has a sort of gastro pub restaurant.
No where is very far in Sandwich so almost everything is within a short walk (restaurants/pubs/shops/our house etc.)
Great location right on the course and the beach !
Takes around 5-10 minutes to drive into Sandwich or Deal from here.
Try the Fleur de Lis in Sandwich town centre.

Or the New Inn

or Dunearne Cottage
Deal is larger than Sandwich with a typical English Riviera feel. It has quite a lot of nice shops and restaurants. It is about a 20 minute drive to Sandwich / to the Church at Eastry, about 20-30 min to Knowlton Court.
The Royal Hotel - Right on the waterfront
The Kings Head - great pub and right in town centre just set back from waterfront.
Canterbury offers a wide range of hotels. It is about a 20-30 minute drive to the Church at Eastry / Sandwich and Knowlton Court.
THE PIG @ Bridge Place
This is a brand new hotel - opening in May 2019, part of a successful chain that started in the South West.

THE DOG @ Wingham is a modern-is gastro pub in the cute village of Wingham which has a couple of pubs, a few shops and is about 15 min drive to Sandwich/Knowlton and 15 min to Canters in the other direction:

If you have a car then you have a lot of choice in the area - English Riviera to countryside pub.
If dependent on public transport - the trains work well but are limited once beyond the main stops. I wouldn't even attempt the buses - but if you do figure them out then pls let me know how!!
