A charming family retreat, Beadles is a grand yet welcoming period home set within the tranquil beauty of Sandwich Bay — a private, gated estate with a long stretch of unspoilt beach and two adjoining championship golf courses.

Built in the distinctive style of a South African homestead, with graceful Dutch gables, this elegant house carries a quiet sense of history and heart — a much-loved family home now open for memorable gatherings. Designed for togetherness across generations, up to 12 guests can spread out in comfort across six beautifully appointed bedrooms. Whether for a multi-generational reunion or a special celebration, there is space for everyone.

Step inside through the impressive front door into a broad hallway, where an unusual ceramic-tiled and pebbled floor hints at the craftsmanship and character throughout. Leading off the hall is a panelled dining room, its oak wall panelling and serving hatch to the kitchen reflecting a home that is as practical as it is charming.

The main dining room centres around a table for 12, inviting long, laughter-filled meals beneath the warm presence of a Portland stone fireplace. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, with a gas AGA, additional electric ovens, an induction hob, and all essential appliances for group catering — whether a keen cook is preparing a feast or a local chef is brought in for a relaxed evening.

Entertainment is effortless. A traditionally styled billiards room features a full-size snooker table, games, a generous sofa, and an open fireplace, while a separate playroom keeps younger guests happily occupied. Outside, extensive enclosed gardens — including two tucked-away “secret” areas — invite exploration and games of hide-and-seek.

At sunset, relax on the balcony overlooking the championship golf course, or curl up beside the fire in the drawing room. Beadles offers a magical escape for families, equally memorable in summer and winter.

In the Area

With the world-famous Royal St. George's and Prince's golf courses on the doorstep, this is a wonderful spot for golfers. The wild pebble beach of Sandwich Bay is just 300 yards from the house and is fringed with grasses and flowers in the spring and summer.

Take a walk along the public footpath across the golf course to medieval Sandwich, where you will find plenty of cafés, restaurants and independent shops amidst the winding streets.

Alternatively, for some traditional seaside fun, hop on a bike and take the ancient highway to Deal for ice cream on the pier or a visit to the castle. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory is just around the corner and offers wildlife walks, evening strolls, and informative talks for nature and wildlife lovers.

A beautiful and welcoming family home 4.7/5

Beadles is a beautiful property in Sandwich Bay, located at a nice quiet road, easy walking distance from the beach. The house feels historic with interesting elements to it. It felt spacious, accommodated comfortably 12 of us. The children loved the property, the garden, the playroom. It was a perfect house to host our extended family, get away together quality time.

Beautiful Beadles 4.3/5

A big family gathering, 9 adults and 5 kids and the house was absolutely perfect for all of us. So many different rooms to hang out in, a huge garden to run around in, a big kitchen to hang and cook, I would say that the kitchen is missing some key utensils but I spoke to the house manager about that. Walking distance to the beach was perfect too. We all had a great stay and would love to visit again.

Wonderful house and home 5/5

No words I can write will really express how wonderful our stay was. A three generation group to celebrate my 70th birthday who all found the house perfect for our long weekend. The Bay has always been a family favourite as I was born in Sandwich and although left at 19, have returned over many years for holidays with family or just a quick visit. There were wonderful memories for us, the house being my favourite of all at the Bay and couldn't believe my luck that I could rent this beautiful place for a holiday. Thank you to the Clive family for sharing what is the most charming home and felt like home to all of us.

Stunning seaside country house on the golf course. You're going to love this house! Stunning architecture, wood paneled rooms, games room, huge kitchen, beautiful gardens, playroom with lots of toys, on the golf course, cozy nooks and crannies, really comfortable beds, well heated. What more can we say...quite a lot actually! There are so many great features to this house, with the guest wing on the ground floor, huge dining room and kitchen and a games room with a full sized billiard table this is an ideal multi-family or multi-generational gathering house. Sundowners on the terrace overlooking the fourth hole are a must, as are cosy evenings by the open fires and BBQs in the garden. Only 300 yards from the beach and on the world famous Royal St George's Golf Course, not to mention inside a private gated community so very safe for the children, this location is unbeatable. Wonderful walks right on your doorstep and so much to do nearby: gardens, beaches, castles, nature, walks, golf, fishing, bike rides. Can't fault it, will be back. A LOT!

Elegant country home in golfer paradise. This is a golfer's dream house, overlooking the 4th green at the magisterial Royal St. George's, site of the 2020 Open--and an easy walk down undulating links fairways to the clubhouse. A few minutes away to the north and south are two other splendid links courses along Sandwich Bay--Prince's and Royal Cinque Ports, both of which hosted The Open before World War II and remain Final Open Qualifying venues. Beadles is both elegant and practical, a classic English country home with modern amenities. It offered more than enough room for our foursome, and could easily accommodate two foursomes. It would be well worth a stay even without its golfing opportunities. The charming town of Sandwich is a five-minute drive and offers a variety of moderately-priced dining choices. And don't miss The Rose, a superb restaurant in the seaside town of Deal, a ten-minute drive. Visited in October 2019.

Magnificent house! A golf and beach lovers dream. Perfect location in Sandwich, one of the few houses right on Royal St Georges, close to the beach and town. Immaculately maintained, beautiful gardens, owner was very accommodating to all our needs. Highly recommend for anyone exploring Kent at any time of the year.

A fantastic house for a vacation. The location was amazing, quiet, peaceful and totally secure. It was Ideal for all forms of sports activities especially golf and water sports which we enjoyed. The house was clean, bright, cosy and very comfortable it had everything we wished for. All the rooms were spacious and well kept. There were some fantastic eateries locally that had ample parking if you drove especially for handicapped. The area provides breathtaking scenery which we thoroughly enjoyed whilst walking the dog. We will definitely be returning to this unbelievable property in the future.
