"Wonderful historic Inn in the heart of Rye. Breakfast was top notch and the Inn was splendid. Would stay again. We also enjoyed the bar, the lounges and all the history."
"Lovely rooms for a short stay in Folkestone and a fantastic breakfast. Only small comment would be that in the summer when the day starts really early, the shutters don't really block the light so we were not able to have much of a lie in - although this is personal preference and only a small comment on an otherwise lovely stay."
"On the beach- it felt like people were walking on your front garden. Beautiful home and everything thought of- tea bags, coffee and wine included. Great communication throughout. Clean, washing machine and bleach etc all there. Loved it and it’s location. Parking a bit of a bother and luck (being in October!)"

We love Folkestone, its far enough away from home to feel like a 'holiday' and it has a cool, arty vibe with a lovely seafront. Lots to do for all ages.

Obviously it has to revive itself since the cross channel ferry has long gone, but I think it has done well. The harbour area is great. It's a bit like the NYC highline with a British twist.

One of the best seaside towns in the U.K., the harbour arm is world class and would give some of our friends across the water a run for there money, and they invented Al fresco dining.

I love going to Folkestone and really impressed with all that's being done to make it even more desirable to visit.
"Very nice hotel especially Americans that are used to cl a good AC and wash clothes (been told it’s called a flannel but still nobody has them to bathe with). Staff here were so accommodating I was very late checkout got another night and they had me a room and moved my belongings to it already when I got there. "
"On a long bike packing adventure, stayed for one night and enjoyed a massage at the spa. Top notch hotel, very helpful solo receptionist also stored my bike in the concierge room. I slept well and had a great breakfast. "
"Great location right on the doorstep on the channel. Staff really friendly, romms clean and well kept. The bar was nice and decent variety of drinks. We didn't eat as i was visiting a friend do went out but will definitely consider using again wjen I'm back down. "
