Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful sea views and proximity to the seafront and local amenities. The only minor concern mentioned is the steep, single-track road access, which may challenge less confident drivers.
Guests find the property very comfortable, with a well-equipped space that caters to all ages. The presence of a downstairs bedroom and bathroom for less mobile guests is appreciated, although a slight issue with water supply to an en suite is noted.
The property is well-equipped with books, games, and a trampoline, and is considered ideal for families. Some guests missed additional TV services like Sky and Netflix, and a mention of a 'tired' kitchen suggests room for improvement.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through gestures like providing tea, coffee, biscuits, and wine. While such gifts are greatly appreciated, it's important to note they are not guaranteed for every stay.
This stunning coastal detached property sleeps up to eight adults and two children, sitting in a majestic position boasting stunning panoramic sea views from its substantial terrace and rooms. This property offers a fantastic getaway for families looking to enjoy a classic seaside escape any time of year. Located in the pretty seaside village of Sandgate, on the edge of Folkestone, the property is well placed for Sandgate beach and only 0.5 miles along the beach promenade to the independent shops, pubs, and eateries of Sandgate High Street. You can continue to walk (or cycle) along the beachfront all the way to Folkestone Harbour, offering bars, entertainment, and restaurants. This property is an ideal base to enjoy Kent’s unspoilt beaches, beautiful countryside, Dover Castle (11.5 miles), Port Lympne Safari Park (7 miles), South of England Rare Breeds Centre (17 miles) , Ashford Designer Outlet (16 miles) and the historic city of Canterbury (21 miles).
Enter this large property via its side door into a useful coat and boot storage area. The ground floor flows from the well-equipped kitchen into a morning room with two armchairs with sea views. French doors lead from the dining room onto the terrace, which has the most spectacular panoramic views. The dining room seats up to ten (eight chairs and a bench, there is also a highchair) and the lounge has comfortable seating for all the family. There is a large coffee table for games and a Smart TV. On the ground floor, you’ll find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and access to the terrace via French doors. There is a cloakroom off the spacious hallway. Upstairs, there are two super-king size bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom all with sea views. The bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, chest of drawers and full-length mirrors. There is also a cosy nautical-themed children’s bedroom with a bunk bed, a wooden cot and children’s books for bedtime stories. The owners have a baby and toddler, so there are children’s toys for these ages. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath.
Out on the terrace, garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ, make it the ideal spot for dining and relaxing. There are steps down to a large and exciting garden which is laid to lawn with flower beds and an unfenced pond. There is also a 14f’ trampoline for children.
A fully refundable security deposit may apply to this property to cover potential damages.
