A COSY RURAL RETREAT AT HAM SANDWICH
A COSY RURAL RETREAT AT HAM SANDWICH
The Blazing Donkey is tucked away quietly in the Kent countryside and only a short distance from the ancient cinque port town of Sandwich. We are a little over an hour from London by road and rail and the cross channel port of Dover is a short drive. The magical cathedral city of Canterbury and seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal are also within very easy reach. This is the bit on most websites where the hotel bangs’ on about how perfect everything is. Not us. In actual fact we like to think that we are somewhat perfectly imperfect. A certain earthiness and rusticity of surroundings speaks to the natural charm of the ‘Donkey, a place which is quirkily quintessential and has a magical ability to relax and enthral most, if not all who visit. And the old-fashioned stuff is really important to all of us here so when you do eventually arrive you may expect to be met with the warmest of welcomes.
Every wedding at The Blazing Donkey is hosted on an exclusive basis giving you and your guests uninterrupted use of the two acres of grounds and all our facilities.
