Satis House is a fictional estate in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations. The name Satis House comes from the Latin satis for 'enough', and is the name of a real mansion in Rochester, Kent, near where Dickens lived. It gained its name from a comment by Queen Elizabeth I who stayed there as a guest of the owner, Richard Watts. As she left, Watts asked his queen if she had been comfortable during her stay. Offhandedly, she replied: "Satis". According to Dickens' biographer John Forster, the novelist also used aspects of the nearby Restoration House.
