Otter's Hatch

Sandwich, Kent

If it's quintessential cottage appeal that you crave, then Otter’s Hatch - reminiscent of Wind in the Willows – is perfect for you!

With its crooked walls and pink-blush exterior Otter’s Hatch is a charming Tudor cottage in the heart of the medieval town of Sandwich.

From winter warming escapes with cosy log fires and evenings spent curled up on the sofa, to long summer days spent relaxing in the secluded walled garden, Otter’s Hatch is a perfect year-round destination.

The cottage is positioned in the heart of Sandwich - a quiet medieval town settled on the ... banks of the River Stour. There’s plenty to do: choose to spend your days in hiking boots or heels (whatever your style), before returning to curl up by the wood-burner or sip wine in the garden on hazy summer evenings under pink skies.

Culinary enthusiasts have a well-equipped kitchen in which to get creative, with an abundance of local produce - from the sea and land - readily available for those who want to enjoy a true taste of Kent. Upstairs enjoy a soak in the petite-clawfoot bath, and then snuggle up under lovely linens on the comfy beds.

A short drive from Otter’s Hatch is Sandwich Bay - a quiet stretch of beach frequented mainly by locals and the odd tourist. At low tide the beach is sandy and it’s not uncommon to spot the odd seal or two if you’re lucky enough! Spend the day relaxing here in summer, dip your toes in the Channel or stretch your legs with a walk or a cycle ride up to the buzzy seaside town of Deal – be sure to finish off with a well-deserved pint at the George and Dragon, a cosy inn dating back to 1446, just a hop and a skip from the house itself.
A NOTE IF YOU BRING A DOGGIE: The house allows one well behaved dog, but we request you do not leave your pooch unattended in the house at any time, so he/she is always happy and calm in his/her home-from-home. May we also ask that all traces of dog waste are removed from the garden. Our cleaners cannot dispose of dog waste and if we ask them to then they will charge us. So please could you take any waste with you.
