Seaview

Folkestone and Hythe is a working coastal town where Victorian architecture meets modern seaside life, with Hythe's canal and shingle beach on the doorstep. Seaview is a substantially renovated townhouse spread over four storeys, which means high ceilings and plenty of space but also plenty of stairs—worth knowing if mobility is a concern. The property sleeps 10 across five bedrooms: two doubles, two kingsize and one bunk room. Three bathrooms are distributed across the floors—a practical arrangement for a group this size.

The kitchen on the second floor has a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge, opening onto a balcony with views towards the beach. Below that, the first-floor living space includes a woodburner and a 55" smart TV. Ground-floor bedrooms are also available, along with a utility room. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and electricity are included. An enclosed garden with patio furniture sits off the main house, and there is on-road parking. Smoking is not permitted.

The location works well for families and groups wanting beach access without fuss—the shingle is a short walk away, and the town centre offers fish and chips, independent shops and cafés. The balcony and sea views make it a natural draw for anyone who wants to spend a week cooking, watching the Channel, and coming back inside to a proper fire.
