"Beautiful, characterful hotel with friendly staff and great food. Perfect base to explore Sandwich."

"Parking was available outside the Five Bells and in a couple of spaces reserved for B&B Guests."

"A beautiful house! We stayed as a family of 13 and there is so much space and a huge garden. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend."

"We booked the Lily Room at the Blue Pigeon for our wedding anniversary, hoping for a quiet, restorative escape after a demanding few months. Unfortunately, the stay didn't quite deliver on that promise — though it wasn't without its highlights. Arrival set an unexpected tone. We walked into what appeared to be a large, lively bottomless brunch gathering — very much a party atmosphere — and could barely hear the receptionist over the noise. For guests seeking a peaceful retreat, this was quite a jolt, and felt at odds with how the hotel presents itself. The room itself was genuinely lovely. Beautifully decorated, well-furnished, and thoughtfully put together with real attention to detail — exactly what you'd hope for at this price point, and credit where it's due. Sadly, sleep was impossible. The church directly opposite chimes on the hour, every hour, throughout the night — something we weren't forewarned about. The room also ran very hot despite no radiators being on, and opening the window only amplified the bells. By morning, having had no sleep whatsoever, we missed breakfast entirely so can’t comment on that. The Blue Pigeon clearly has the bones of something special, shows real care in its design. But the overall experience felt confused — the branding suggests a calm, boutique bolthole, while the reality on our visit was quite different. A little more consistency between the two, would consider returning! "

"very friendly and helpful host and very comfortable cottage. Really enjoyed our stay.If I was to have any critisism, the shower was very weak but not something that would stop me staying again."

"A wonderful stay for our family at Christmas. The house was well decorated, super festive and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook the Christmas dinner. The games room and hot tub were such good additions and well enjoyed. It was great to have walking routes directly from the house and loved exploring the area. We will definitely consider the house again for any future family gatherings."

"Lovely house, thank you.Only slight confusion was that the key fob for the garage wasnt on the hall table, but we found it in the key safe. "

"Great location ro explore that part of Kent and having the two properties really suited our needs for the three nights. Lovely little welcome pack was much appreciated and well used! We could well be back - thanks! "
