Sandwich is a truely lovely small town. The Bell Hotel is very quiet, excellent service and nice staff. Rooms are modern (except bathroom where you still have one cold water tap separate from the hot water tap: we are in 2013 !). Restaurant is fine cuisine, good choice of wines and beers. Beautiful dining room. The Bell is very pleasant... More

A pleasant hotel, but with rooms that were too clairaudient. Our stay was negatively impacted by a child crying in a close-by room that kept waking us up every couple of hours.Rooms were clean and well appointed, good beds. Outstanding staff at breakfast.

Lovely hotel/pub accomodation. Reception and its staff very friendly, (thank you Tracey), room very comfortable and clean. Our only critisim was the service at the bar/restaurant and breakfast staffing. It was a Bank Holiday weekend which I know can be difficult to staff it but was not so terribly busy. Nobody was on the ball enough.Our bill was also incorrect... More

My wife and I enjoyed a comfortable room by the river in this ancient Cinque Port town of Sandwich. Only 12 miles from Dover and close to Margate and Ramsgate, we were looking for a quiet location with plenty to see around. The staff was very efficient and welcoming and the modern design of the bar and café worked well... More

We had a great weekend break at the Bell Hotel, having chosen it because we were going to a concert in nearby St Mary's. From the warm, friendly welcome to the comfortable room overlooking the river and the tollgate, and the superb breakfast (try the herb sausages) the whole experience was perfect. The room came with a king-sized bed which... More

Spotlessly clean, comfortable beds. Very professional and helpful staff. This is a lovely area with great walks from outside the hotel. The only complaints really is the bar area seems a little lacking in character and warmth. Food was an excellent standard, we had a lovely dinner, and I reallly like the fact the breakfast was cooked to order.

Breakfast was always delicious and the beds are the most comfortable I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Service was more than adequate and the place very clean. With a great view out over the river, we probably had the best of the rooms. Only complaint is that I couldn't see the TV properly due to the layout of the... More

Just returned from a 2 night break in this lovely hotel. Ideally situated on the quayside, we were right in the middle of this mediaeval town. The weather was bitterly cold, but as we entered the hotel, there was a warm woodburner stove with comfy chairs and sofas to welcome us. The rooms were spotless with good facilities and all... More
