Grade I-listed Luxury Accommodation in Kent
The Salutation at Sandwich
The Salutation is, without a doubt, the finest place to stay in Kent. Located in the heart of Sandwich, this stunning building was built by Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1911-1912 for William, Gaspard and Henry Farrer as a weekend retreat to enable them to enjoy the coastal air.
Originally named after an inn that originally stood within the grounds, the main house is supported by Knightrider House, The Coach House and Gardener's Cottage.
Having been hidden and neglected for over a decade, there has been a considerable renovation programme carried out on both the house and its gardens which are now open to the public. The main house, however, remains a private residence.
Set within the town and adjacent to the River Stour, surrounded by three-and-a-half acres of delightful Lutyens and Jekyll gardens and almost entirely encircled by the old city walls of Sandwich, the house is afforded a remarkable level of privacy.
Accommodation within reflects the integrity of the house and gardens with unmatched splendour and a truly world class feel to each room. Like a fine claret leaving you with a rounded after-taste, our rooms are tailored for the connoisseur.
An enchanting house, utterly beguiling. You slip through a gate on the bustling quay, then there you are, peacefully ensconced behind ancient walls.
