Strode Wagner
Ideal location in fashionable west end of Folkestone, a stone's throw from the Leas and beautiful channel views, easy walk to beach, Creative Quarter and Harbour Arm. Merchant 39 has the feel of a boutique hotel, located above Strode&Co, my antique shop. Bright and airy rooms have high ceilings and en suite or adjacent private shower rooms. All newly decorated with luxury amenities: Vi-spring bed, smart TV w/Netflix, safe, iron, hair dryer, mini fridge, coffee pod machine and kettle in room. Plush pillows & duvet, John Lewis linens and towels, cotton robes, and quality toiletries are provided. A small kitchen with oven, Domino hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher is available in communal area for a light meal or snack preparation (pots, pans and crockery provided). Secure parking near by 6 pounds per day. Reservation needed
Seven restaurants, cafes & pubs are within a few meters of Merchant 39, with Radnor Arms, Butty's, Bouverie Tap and The Hideaway to name a few. Some begin breakfast as early as 7:30. Tesco Express & Sainsbury's are nearby. Folkestone Central Station is .5 miles away, a short 10 minute walk down our fabulous tree-lined avenue, and offers high speed service from London (54 minutes), Ashford International (20 minutes) and Dover (10 minutes). The bus station is just down the road for more local routes, including Canterbury. The EuroTunnel entrance is a 10 minute drive and it takes about 20 minutes to drive to Dover Ferry Terminal.
