It was origuinaly built ifor William Gaspard and Henry Farrer in 1912, as a weekend retreat for them to enjoy the coastal air. The Salutation is a grade I listed house in Sandwich, Kent, England. It was designed and built by Edwin Lutyens in a Queen Anne style in 1911–12, as a weekend home and country retreat for members of the Farrer family. It was one of the first 20th-century building to be given a grade I listing, in 1950. Other structures in the grounds received a grade II listing in 1986. It has been described by Nigel Jones as "the perfect house that many in Britain aspire to own", and by Arthur Stanley George Butler as "Sir Edwin's supreme rendering of the full Georgian idiom … This very perfect work establishes itself as a high peak in Sir Edwin's achievement". In recent years, the house was operated as a bed and breakfast establishment, and from 2017 to 2020 as a hotel and restaurant.
