The Secret Luxury Apartment

Folkestone and Hythe sits on the Kent coast with Romney Marsh stretching inland, a landscape of flat horizons, walking routes and cycle paths. Littlestone-on-Sea, a Victorian coastal village established in the 1880s, lies a mile and three-quarters from The Secret Luxury Apartment. The town has shops, bars and restaurants; the beaches are close; country walks begin at your door.

The apartment is a single open-plan space on the ground floor. It contains a double bedroom, living area with smart TV and sofa bed, dining section, kitchen with electric oven and induction hob, and a shower room with heated towel rail. A rear courtyard with garden furniture provides outdoor space. One parking space is included, and one well-behaved pet can stay free of charge. Electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are provided; the heating is electric central. No smoking inside.

This works for two people wanting a coastal break or a base for exploring the marsh. Romney Warren Country Park, 11 hectares of dune grassland and wetland, is nearby. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway runs heritage steam services along the coast. Littlestone itself is small and quiet, established as a Victorian resort rather than a busy seaside town.
