In the Area


Situated on the Kent coast, perfectly nestled between Hythe and Folkestone, you’ll find Sandgate. With a long stretch of pebbled beach, lined by a wide promenade, leading you to the vibrant Harbour Arm in Folkestone or the charming canal town of Hythe. Whether exploring on foot or on two wheels from our partners at Click to Cycle, along the way, indulge in a beachside breakfast or lunch, or savour a warming drink during the winter months whilst looking out across the Channel. Step away from the pebbles and explore Sandgate's high street, dotted with a delightful array of independent eateries and shops. Whether you desire a breathtaking sea view whilst eating lunch from the glass balcony at one of the cosy pubs, or visit Dockers Brewery and taproom or want to pick up a delicious wood-fired pizza to enjoy on the beach, a wine tasting experience at the friendly John Dory wine tasting rooms or to sample local and continental treats from one of the delis, Sandgate offers so much to explore moments away. For more recommendations on things to do and see check out our travel guides on Hythe & Sandgate, Folkestone, and Ashford.

Wonderful as ever! 5/5

What can I say.. The house that gives, perfect spot on the front and both the kids and the adults had a superb weekend. Bloom Stays were a delight to book with. We will be back 🙂

Something for Everyone! 4.8/5

The Beach House really WAS the perfect venue for our family holiday with its 'back to the future' feelings of childhood Sandgate holidays gone by. With plenty of space to spread out AND eat together at mealtimes (thanks to a kitchen with everything that you will need - and more), the flexibility afforded by the house was just right. As for location, the house is just a short step from the independent 'village' of Sandgate's high street. With its coffee shops, wine 'tasting room', Natalina's Italian Deli & Cicchetti Bar and more, there's something for everyone.

Magical beach stay 5/5

The beach house offers more than self catering - little details and touches you would expect in a hotel (choice of pillows, mini body wash / soaps and an array of towels) Superbly equipped for a supper for kings and suitably set up for families to enjoy. The setting on the seafront enjoys the sounds of the waves and passing sunrise and side on sunset glows. The cafes and restaurants are in abundance on foot and we loved the croissants and coffee at Mr Whippets 🙂

Total comfort 5/5

What a beautiful home , and a joy to stay in. Every element of this house was perfect for us . We had comfort , every room had its own en suite. lovely quality bed linens, towels . in fact the whole house was of very high standards . We especially loved that we were able to go through the garden gate to the beach or walk into Folkestone . We highly recommend this house .

Gill Attwell | 13 October 2023

Superb home with everything so well thought out. 5/5

As a mix couples group including kids we enjoyed our stay and birthday celebration at the beach house. Sunrise and sunset is extra special as the homes feels with a magnificent light and the well being for everyone is unreal. Kids love the games room, the space to roam and the beach a hop out the garden on to the pebbles is just super fun and something you can’t believe is possible . The kitchen is one of the best equipped and we do a lot of group travel and have a friend who’s a chef. Small details considered including hand held blenders, heaps of crockery, range of knives and not one but actually two kitchens! Comfort in the rooms with superb mattresses, darkened room and hotel touches in the bathrooms with an array of toiletries, there are even choices of pillow! Sandgate has heaps within walking distance for morning croissants to fish and chips and even Dockers bar and a wine bar

The perfect house! 4.8/5

An amazing stay at The Beach House, with fantastic weather. Plenty of space, a great location and kitted out with everything you could want. We loved our weekend here and can’t wait to visit again.

We loved the sundrenched deck and the dining area overlooking the ocean 4.3/5

We loved the sundrenched deck and the dining area overlooking the ocean Exceptionally well equipped kitchen and a butlers kitchen in the basement for storing extra provisions Large bedrooms all with en-suite Great location right on the promenade No faults other than that you do need to unload and pack the car on a busy road

The Beach House at Sandgate 4.8/5

The Beach House at Sandgate is situated in a perfect beach front location. The house was immaculate, comfortable and exactly as advertised. Bloom Stays kept in touch throughout our stay (not that we needed them) but comforting to know we could reach out if necessary, It was the small details that made a difference. The kitchen layout was superb and offered everything you would need. Bloom Stays offered some activities as extra and we went ahead with sip and paint. Sue and Sharron were amazing and we all enjoyed a really fun afternoon.

Tracey Scudder | 30 May 2023

Overall very good 4.5/5

Lovely house with some nice features. Some parts are needing repair such as the bifold windows which were extremely difficult to open. The master bedroom is great the other bedrooms and en-suites could do with being brought up to same standard. The house is really well equipped with some nice touches such as toiletries in bathrooms and welcome pack on arrival

Lovely weekend in March, we were lucky to have weather that allowed us to walk. On the first day we left the house and walked to Hythe and had a great coffee at the cafe on the front. We then walked back along the canal. Day two walked along the front to Folkestone. Lots of art sculptures along the way. Bracing walk out to the lighthouse, then up to the little town with a variety of independent shops. Bus back easy journey. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The main bedroom stunning views of the sea. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at The Beach House as a group of 6 over New Year's. The house is spacious and well appointed. The dining area (and master bedroom) has dramatic views of the pebble beach and sea, which are immediately accessible from the back garden. The living room is very comfortable and the wood burner gave it a cosy atmosphere. All of the bedrooms are large with their own en suites. The house itself is in a great location, moments away from the cafes of Sandgate, and there is a very pleasant walk into Folkestone taking in the art trail. Would happily visit again.

Fantastic views made even better by fantastic weather. 4.3/5

My only complaint was having to unload everything for 8 people on double yellow lines. Beautiful property, very well equipped. Very clean and tidy.

Simon Cooper | 13 October 2022

Amazing house with so many nice touches 4.8/5

The house was prefect for our weekend stay. Brilliant location and very well maintained. Felt like we were staying in a hotel with the cleanliness and the little touches that really make a difference (shampoo and cotton buds in bedrooms and tea bags in the kitchen). Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful home and location 5/5

We had a wonderful week at the Beach House. Both the house and location are excellent. Everything has been finished inside to such a high standard, and it was great to be able to walk straight out onto the beach each morning. We left feeling very relaxed and refreshed, and would happily stay there again. Nicky was prompt and responsive throughout the booking process, helping us to find the Beach House in the first place and answering all of our queries leading up to the stay.

A couple of days by the sea with family to celebrate an 81st birthday, the weather was kind, the walks invigorating and The Rocksalt restaurant in Folkestone to be recommended. The house is beautifully appointed and the owner's and housekeeper should be proud of their efforts. A big thank you from all of us for making our weekend so memorable (even if I did lose at pool!).
