Just a 10 minute drive away, the town of Sandwich is full of character, with winding streets, cafés, antique shops and historic buildings waiting to be explored. Head a little further to Deal, where you'll find a thriving food scene, boutique shops and a beautiful pebble beach and iconic Pier perfect for a leisurely stroll.
