Top Sandgate Castle Hotel Reviews

voco The Clifton Folkestone by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We managed to get a parking space in the square outside the hotel which is not always easy. There is a nearby underground car park that serves the Lees cliff theatre that can also be used but we have not needed to yet. The 20% early dining offer at the hotel's MPW restaurant makes for a good value dinner bed and breakfast mini break."

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for Channel Tunnel. Near to Tesco Superstore, pubs etc. Good menu to order from bar. Can't fault breakfast or cleanliness."

Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone

10/10 Excellent

"Easy stay, always spacious rooms and great location."

Sea Spray Cottage by Bloom Stays - a holiday let that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Sea Spay is simply a fabulous place to stay. The location is perfect, with unrivalled views across the Channel from the cottage and its lovely patio. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well equipped, with a stylish nautical theme throughout. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful touches, including cushions and blankets for sitting outside and enjoying the sea views. Even the powerful shower has a wonderful view out to sea! There was plenty of helpful information about the local area, too. It is the perfect place either to relax and enjoy the immediate surroundings or to use as a base for exploring other parts of Kent. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it."

Westward Ho Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location is great the hotel is a little old but that adds to the charm, however the staff are outstanding with the breakfast team especially being cheerful smiling all morning. The breakfast was better than we expected, and we will definitely stop her again."

Driftwood Cottage by Bloom Stays - family friendly cottage with sea views

"Wow what a fabulous cottage. We ve been coming to Sandgate to stay with friends for 30 years. This year was a surprise birthday party . I’ve always seen this row of cottages on my walks by the sea and was determined to stay in one as it’s such an idyllic spot. It was absolutely perfect in every way. We will definitely be staying here again . ❤️"

Coastal garden flat with parking. Pet friendly! Only 2 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely flat, beautifully furnished and decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lots of 'extras' such as toiletries, hand cream, books, games etc. Suspect the owners use it for holidays themselves as it feels like a much loved home."
