    A really lovely family home where you felt relaxed and having the sea views and walks along the promenade just made the holiday.

    The house was beautiful with stunning views at the end of the garden. It had everything you needed with spare sunglasses, hats, sliders etc which was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this house. It was a little expensive for 2 nights but...

This is a large yet cosy 3 bedroom cottage backing right onto the beach! An open planned kitchen/dining and living area offers great space to feast, socialise or just relax and enjoy the stunning sea view. Then there is the good sized private garden with plenty of outdoor seating With 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets this is an ideal place for families or larger parties. This Grade 2 listed Georgian cottage has stunning views and direct access from the garden onto the pristinely clean Sandgate beach. A large 3 bedroom cottage with 2 living rooms, there’s plenty of personal space. It comfortably sleeps 6-7 max. Please do no exceed this number of guests. There is a car park only 1 min walk from this house. It charges five per day. Also pass the house’s and next to the beach there is free parking. This is also about 5 minutes walk from the house. There’s a great selection of traditional English pubs, restaurants, & antiques shops right on your door step.
Hi I'm Anh and I live with my husband Simon. We are an easy going, sociable family who loves traveling and meeting new friends. We live for our weekends and our passion is in our stomachs, so we spend a huge amount of our time exploring new restaurants and bars, in which we can binge with our friends. In my opinion i probably spend way too much money on decent food and unhealthy drinks ;-) I'm an interior designer working for myself (Anh Luu Interiors) but my true passion is gardening, so my dream house would probably be in a tree! I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes. So please feel free to swap cooking tips with me! We are neat freaks, ok that's a lie. I'm a neat freak and constantly cleaning behind everyone :-). Together we keep a happy, fun, safe, clean homely home.
The historic and picturesque town of Sandagate offers an eclectic mix of village store, traditional English antiques shops, boutiques, public houses, cafes, restaurants and micro brewery. The long stretches of shingle beach and sailing club can be accessed directly from the garden. If you want to venture further there’s a beautiful beach walk taking you through the Lowers Leas coastal park. Where after 40mins of constantly changing stunning views you will reach Folkestone's Harbour Arm. A buzzy newly renovated hangout area offering tasty food from quirky restaurants as well as adventurous pop up food stores. There is plenty of chill-out places to choose from. Live music is often found on the harbour arms along with people joining in and dancing the night away. Or you can just relax at the sophisticated champagne bar found at the lighthouse to the end of the harbour arms.
