Palm Lobster An Exquisite Apartment in Folkestone
This was a return visit to James’ place. We love the location and comfortable spaciousness. The property is nicely furnished and has everything to make this a great place to stay :)

Stunning sea views overlooking St Margaret's Bay
Can thoughrely recommend Jenny's place, both Jenny and Tim are very friendly. Patio overlooking the sea and sea views from the bedroom, very generous welcome pack and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and more, the lounge was spacious with comfy couches and the bedroom had plenty of clothes hangers and the bed was super comfy, including the pillows,. Every where was super clean, we didn't really want to leave, but,of course, it was time to move on., can thoughrely recommend Jenny' and Tim's place.

Beachfront penthouse apartment with sea views
Lisa’s place was the best stay I’ve had in a while – and I travel a lot! A beautiful gem of a spot, surrounded by the sea, which you can see from every room. The location is excellent, nestled among shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s perfect whether you’re after rest and relaxation or a bit of entertainment – head down to the Port Arms just minutes away on a Sunday for a live band and great atmosphere. Lisa has clearly thought of everything – from the well-stocked amenities, books, and games, right down to a pair of binoculars for sea-gazing. I would absolutely return!

Pebbles - escape to the coast
We recently enjoyed a delightful stay at this little paradise right on the beach, and it truly exceeded our expectations! The location is unbeatable—situated right on the shore, we were treated to stunning sea views that made every moment feel special. The ambience is wonderfully quiet, perfect for those looking to relax and unwind. We appreciated the proximity to numerous pubs and restaurants nearby, allowing us to easily explore local dining options. We were fortunate to have lovely weather and took full advantage of the BBQ facilities located conveniently outside. It was a joy to cook and dine while enjoying the fantastic ocean backdrop. Overall, our experience was nothing short of fantastic, and we can't wait to return to this beautiful spot. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!

Cosy Stay in the Heart of Dover
Great location, right across the street from the beach, the city center, and necessities. Walking distance to the Western Heights which can be accessible at any time and only a 5 minute drive to the white cliffs and Dover castle.

Little Poppy studio
Everything was great - calm, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. The host provided clear and helpful check-in instructions, which made the arrival super easy. There were also some small treats waiting for us, which was a really nice touch. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The only minor issue was the showe, the water temperature kept switching from hot to cold almost every minute. If you’re a fan of contrast showers, though, you might even enjoy it🙂

The Chalet
Catherine Ann is an absolutely fantastic host. We stayed as we had a wedding nearby and I cannot praise Catherine Ann enough - she was so helpful from start to finish, gave us local cab numbers, was flexible with the checking in and even offered to give us a lift to the wedding! The bed - wow - one of the most comfiest beds we'd slept on. I would highly recommend!

Escape to the Sea
A great place to stay to access Hastings. Right on the waterfront which was lovely, accommodation was exactly as described. Only slight issue was parking which was accurately described in the listing and free parking was found a short walk away, overall not a major issue and didn’t impact the stay
