First recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, the Solton Manor estate has been home to bishops, noble families, merchants and landowners for nearly a thousand years. Today, this Grade II* listed house offers guests the rare opportunity to stay in a historic house that has evolved with the centuries while remaining a privately run estate. The manor sits at the heart of White Cliffs Country, surrounded by rolling farmland and the famous Kent coastline.
Solton Manor lies close to the Saxon Shore Way and North Downs Way, offering walkers and cyclists stunning trails that link coast and countryside. Wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy birdwatching by the pond and meadows on the estate or venture to nearby nature reserves.
Despite its peaceful rural location, London is just over an hour away by high-speed train from Dover Priory, making Solton Manor both an extraordinary escape and a uniquely accessible base for exploring east Kent.
