Reviews
Folkestone
The Bay is set in Folkestone, a vibrant coastal town where creative energy, historic streets and expansive sea views come together.
The seafront is close by, making it easy to wander down for a morning walk along the beach or spend time watching boats come and go from the harbour. Folkestone’s layered layout gives the town a real sense of character, with winding streets, viewpoints and cafés rewarding exploration on foot. The Harbour Arm is a real highlight and a destination in its own right all year round, offering an ever-changing mix of food stalls, pop-up bars, events and panoramic views along the coast. For breakfast and brunch, Marley’s is a local favourite, while Steep Street Coffee is well worth seeking out for great coffee in a relaxed setting. Food lovers won’t want to miss Cluck & Cow in the centre of the harbour arm, often hailed as serving some of the best burgers in Kent.
Beyond the harbour, the Creative Quarter is filled with independent shops, artist studios and galleries, while Lower Leas Coastal Park provides green space and walking routes between town and sea. Folkestone West and Central stations offer high-speed rail services to London, making The Bay an ideal base for short breaks or longer stays combining seaside living with culture, food and easy travel connections.
