About this apartment rental

Fantastic apartment with dramatic sea views across to France. Relax out on the recently updated balcony and enjoy the beautiful setting, or get out and about and explore this underrated and special location.

Clifton Crescent is a Grade II classic Victorian stucco terrace that fronts on to The Leas, a magnificent promenade lining the edge of the cliff with multiple paths down to the beach, promenade and lower Leas coastal park, with children's playground almost directly below.

Accommodation is split over two floors with the master bedroom, lounge, kitchen/diner and bathrooms on one floor and two further bedrooms upstairs. Two of the three bedrooms have sea views. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and the third has two singles - that can be made into a double on special request. There is also a full size cot and a travel cot available for children.

The kitchen has loads of workspace, a gas fired oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and dining table that seats 6. Also included are a high chair and a booster seat for babies, in fact the flat has many extras for children. There is also a utility room with washing machine.

The property is within easy reach of the Leas Cliff Hall for shows, concerts, pantomimes etc. The immediate area is often used for activities such as mini marathons, Triennial art installations, bandstand performances, occasional classic car rallies and air shows (for which this has the perfect viewpoint!).

The town centre is only a short walk away for everyday shopping. Head down to the old High Street / Creative Quarter with it's bars, cafes and art galleries to the harbour, harbour arm and the Stade. Then on to Sunny sands beach, and if you enjoy a good walk you can continue beyond the east cliffs to explore the wild area known as The Warren.

Further afield you could visit Dover for its impressive castle, and there are ferrys for a day trip to France (if you have a car you can embark the channel tunnel train in Folkestone itself). Round the coast visits to the pretty seaside towns of Deal and Sandwich are worthwhile. On the western side perhaps travel around the bay through Sandgate and Hythe and out to historic Rye, or take a ride with the Dymchurch & Hythe railway through the marshes.

Inland there is the beautiful Kent countryside to explore, and a visit to bustling Canterbury with it's major cathedral, ancient buildings and excellent shopping facilities is essential.

The location is well connected to visit London with the High Speed (HS1) train service. Kings Cross St Pancras taking less than one hour!

Please also note that stays of a week (7 nights) or over also have a 15-25% discount depending on dates.

Please note that the property is situated on the 3rd and 4th floors, the stairs are wide and shallow stepped with several landings, but there is no lift available, so those with disabilities or difficulties climbing stairs should take this into account before booking.

A comfy home, lots of space and everything we needed for a great stay. The balcony came into its own on a beautiful sunny weekend and the walk into the harbour along the Marine or the beach via Zig-Zag path was lovely. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Folkestone!

We had been looking for a quiet place for a family of four in Folkestone, and we've come across Christopher's fantastic appartment. Not only is it perfectly situated just at the wonderful Leas with a view on the Channel and France, it is also much more spacious than we had expected. It offers a very generous living room, kitchen and bathroom, three bedrooms and - our favourite - a balcony with a breathtaking view. All the rooms are decorated with loving care.
