We had such a relaxing stay here! We wanted to visit Folkestone for a mini stay-cation for our anniversary and this place was perfect. Walking distance from the beach, harbour, grocery stores, town centre and places to eat out. The check-in was smooth sailing as the instructions were perfect. A couple of nags that I have (although not a massive deal and didn’t ruin the quality of our stay) that are worth saying: there was no cleaning spray to wipe down the sides after cooking etc, the instructions for heating in the manual is not accurate for this flat as it has under floor heating and the noise from the flats above is quite loud but this is expected. Overall, would stay again! :)

Overall a great stay that was beautifully decorated and very clean. Couldn't fault the air bnb itself, the only downful was how easy you can hear upstairs walking, dropping things or moving things around by it dragging on the floor

Really enjoyed our stay. Clear instructions on how to check in and Christine even messaged a few hours before check-in time to let us know the place was ready which we appreciated. The apartment looks just like the photos and has everything you need. Didn’t notice the noise upstairs. Great location, walking distance to station, beach, shops, restaurants.

The location was great - an easy walk to the train station, town or beach with some nice spots to eat or drink nearby. This was a compact but well put together basement flat with everything you could need for a weekend away. The kitchen was modern and well equipped and sofa was comfortable. The bedroom, while not spacious, was comfy. A note for light sleepers that this is the basement of a block of flats, so there is a fair amount of noise from people moving about upstairs.

The apartment is beautiful: outstanding kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Nice bed with crisp sheets. Really appreciated the hamper when we got there. The Blue Bridge office is right next to the apartment which was great for questions etc. Excellent value for money and the staff can't do enough for you. I'd love to come back one day. Tip: have dinner at the Turkish Cuisine restaurant around the corner!

A nice apartment and it was just what we needed for our trip to Folkestone. Everything in the apartment was exactly as described. It was a very relaxing environment in the apartment. My only small negative is that the bedroom is underneath the hallway into the building so there's quite a lot of noise from people walking if they come in late (which unfortunately did happen when we were there). We are used to a very quiet house so this possibly wouldn't affect other people.

We had a great stay here over bank holiday weekend. The place had everything you could need and located in a lovely part of the town and only 10 minutes walk from the centre. We would love to stay again in the near future!

What a great place to stay. Me and my daughter appreciated the extra goodies left for us to make our first day comfortable. Great communication before we arrived and during our stay. Wonderful small apartment. Well equipped kitchen with washing machine. Comfortable large bed. Sitting are with large TV. Outside patio. Well suited for longer stays. Close to restaurants and 5 minutes walk from the Central Station. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for a lovely stay - great accommodation in a central location, the beach is within reasonable distance and check in was very straight forward. It was clean and there was a lot of attention to detail, with toiletries, towels and snacks provided. The host was very helpful and communication was great. There are other apartments in the building and noise was a bit of an issue for us. There are clear house rules in place to manage this, and the host was very attentive in their response to this so it wouldn’t prevent us from staying again but is something to bare in mind for sensitive sleepers.

We had such a lovely stay and the little touches in the flat were so thoughtful and sweet! The attention to detail was great and pretty much everything was thought of, the kitchen had all the equipment we could need and the space was really clean. The flat is down a staircase so wouldn't be good for wheelchair users etc. The walk into town along the sea was lovely, and there were nice places nearby to eat and drink! The Bouverie Tap and Massimo's La Casa de Bellogelato were definitely worth a visit! Overall a lovely stay and we'd be more han happy to stay here again in the future.
