Folkestone Hotels

The resort town of Folkestone is located on the South East coast in the county of Kent. It has sandy beaches, colourful gardens and charming people. The town is situated right next to the Straits of Dover and on a clear day you can see France in the distance over the channel. 

The town has excellent communications to London and Europe . Two centuries ago the idea of the Channel Tunnel was born but it was not until 1987 that work started in Folkestone and France and did not stop until it was finally finished in 1994. The town now boasts a Eurotunnel passenger terminal taking freight vehicles, cars, and foot passengers via the Channel Tunnel to Calais . 

There is a cobbled old high street which leads down to a working harbour with a wide promenade with outstanding views. There is plenty of fresh seafood as the town houses many fisherman and has done for years. The port is less busy these days with only the Hoverspeed offering up to four crossings per day between Folkestone and Boulogne . The approximate sea crossing time is around 60 minutes. There is a fine selection of restaurants, cafes, pubs and old taverns.

A lovely place to stay in Folkestone in Seabrook House. It is a Victorian property with many of its original features preserved and set in pretty gardens. The hotel has been recently renovated with each room having first class en-suite facilities with tasteful decoration. Prices start from around £35 per room. The hotel is only 5 minutes drive away from the euro tunnel and 15 minutes to Dover . If you choose to stay at Seabrook house you will assured of a warm welcome and a comfortable stay with a great full english breakfast to send you on your way.

Another great place to stay is The Portland Hotel which is located on the picturesque Folkestone Leas overlooking the sea. It is right in the centre of Folkestone and a five minute stroll from the harbour and beaches. Unfortunately the hotel is a child and pet free environment and has been recently refurbished to the highest standard. There are a selection of Superior, Executive and Standard rooms with en-suites bathrooms and king size beds.
