FROM HOME IN THE
KENT COUNTRYSIDE

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 from my team and I!

EXPLORE WITH US

We are a real get-away location, truly rural yet also within a stone’s throw of so very much to do. Our nearby East Kent coast is a mecca for tourists. The irresistible draw of St.Margarets Bay, Walmer, Kingsdown and Sandwich Bay has resulted in growing numbers of visitors flocking to this little-known corner of our country to discover all that it has to offer. Golf fans wishing to test their skills over the links of Royal St.Georges (2020 Open Championship venue), Princes, with its inspired 27 hole set up and Royal Cinque Ports are spoiled here too with such a cluster of world-class golf courses right on our doorstep (see VIP golf).
Whether on business or pleasure, we very much hope to welcome you to our special place very soon, where it will be our genuine pleasure to extend to you the warmest of welcomes to Ham, Sandwich!
