While the dining boasts homemade bread, it comes at an additional charge. The facilities enhance the stay, making it a great value for money option.
The hotel offers stunning sea views from charming balconies and rooms overlooking the Channel. The service is top-notch, with thoughtful gestures like a welcome drink. While the location provides a picturesque setting on the outskirts of Folkestone town centre, dining options seem a bit pricey at £8.50. Overall, a great value for a seaside stay.
