With views over the beach and out to sea, and with a choice of outside areas, The Hideout is your perfect base for a coastal break.

Situated on the seafront Sandgate esplanade, quite literally a stone’s throw from the long expanse of pebbled beach, with a promenade stretching as far as vibrant Folkestone and the charming canal town of Hythe, with food and drink stops along the way. Step away from the pebbles, and onto Sandgate's high street, dotted with a fabulous array of independent eateries - whether for breakfast, lunch or a cosy dinner, alongside not one but two friendly pubs, microbreweries, wine shop and delis to name just a few of Sandgate’s delights.

With not one but two outside spaces, your very own patio terrace to the front; overlooking the esplanade, and out across the beach to the sea, and a private courtyard at the back; sheltered for a morning coffee in the fresh coastal air and enclosed; ideal for four-legged friends to stretch their legs. Forming part of a four-storey Victorian townhouse, The Hideout with its fully private entrance and terrace sits on the lower ground floor. Step inside, and the open plan sitting and dining room shares in the sea views, leading through to a well-equipped kitchen. The two delightful bedrooms, the Master with a king-size bed and ensuite shower room, and twin bedroom with double sliding doors with access to a second bathroom, offer a restful space after a day exploring.

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.

Excellent 5/5

A delightful flat right across from the beach, a short walk into Sandgate for shops and restaurants, nice decor, good facilities and plenty of room for 4

We had some lovely holiday days in Sandgate with excursion to Dover's white cliffs, walks to Folkestone and Hythe. The apartment was spacious, clean, with good beds and we really enjoyed it! The apartment is just opposite the beach. Caroline and Stephen are great hosts, they responded quickly to questions and there is a binder in the apartment with great tips.

Such a quiet place to relax , spacious living room with comfortable leather sofas. After a long stroll this hideout was a joy to return to. The sea is visible from the front window and is accessed in 1 to 2 minutes, absolutely an ideal place to stay. If you wish to cook rather than eat out the kitchen is more than adequate.

A very clean, modern and well appointed basement flat- with a sea view from the lounge/diner. A lovely spacious master bedroom with ensuite. The spare room has two single beds and is ok but opens up onto the lounge, so not as tucked away as the main bedroom. The hosts described everything well and parking was easy. Bottom line- would we stay again? Yes, absolutely.

Had a wonderful stay, place was much bigger than expected, based in the pictures. Parking was easy to find and the host was responsive to requests.

We had a great stay at Stephen’s whose place was wonderfully located right on the beach. The apartment was spacious, very clean and had everything you needed for a stay. Stephen’s communication and instructions were clear and we will definitely be back in the summer!

5/5

Total gem. Great value, loads of space, incredible seafront view, cozy, clean and comfy. Could not ask for more. Amazing location - next door! to Lido Bon Vido for coffee, pastries, and great food. This was so great to have for meals, snacks and takeaway. Lovely front patio and quiet back garden out of the sea wind. Great value. Highly recommend. Caroline and Stephen are great hosts who have thought of everything.

If you are looking for a peaceful beach property with everything you need on hand this is the place. Close to so many good pubs , restaurants and cafes. Bus routes just along the road. Easy to walk into both Folkestone and Hythe. Cannot fault this little gem.
