The Courtyard
The Courtyard is a newly renovated and stylish lower ground floor apartment ideally located in a quiet residential street just a short walk to the town centre. It is the perfect romantic retreat for couples, and also has a sofa bed so ideal for two couples or a small family. It is also pet friendly so your four-legged friend can come along too. The apartment has a lovely open plan living space, a Kingsize bedroom and modern shower room. Outside is an enclosed garden.
The Courtyard is a great place to stay whilst exploring the thriving coastal town of Folkestone. The harbour and beach are a 10-minute walk away, passing by the Creative Quarter for a spot of shopping. The Creative Quarter is a short walk from the harbour and offers many art galleries, boutique shops and craft stores.
Folkestone is a thriving coastal town, with a long maritime history. The harbour arm has been transformed into a tourist hotspot with cafes, a champagne bar and other great food outlets. The harbour itself is home to seafood stalls and an excellent seafood restaurant with sea views. And of course, there is the long golden sandy beach and rock pools to enjoy to the east side of the harbour and shingle beaches located to the west. With the mainline station only a 10-minute walk away, why not leave the car at home and have a truly relaxing stay.
Please note: there is another lovely apartment in the same building - The Bay | Folkestone | Kent

Reviews
Folkestone
The Courtyard is set in Folkestone, positioned just below The Bay and perfectly placed for enjoying the town’s creative energy, coastal setting and delicious food scene.
The seafront and harbour are close by, making it easy to wander down for a morning walk along the English Channel or spend time watching boats drift in and out. This part of Folkestone feels characterful and quietly tucked away, while still being firmly connected to the life of the town. The Harbour Arm is a standout attraction all year round, offering an ever-changing mix of food stalls, pop-up bars, events and sweeping coastal views. For breakfast and brunch, Marley’s is a local favourite, while Steep Street Coffee is well worth seeking out for excellent coffee in a relaxed setting. Food lovers should also make time for Cluck & Cow, that specialise in serving some of the best burgers in Kent.
Beyond the harbour, the Creative Quarter is filled with independent shops, galleries and artist studios, 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 Courtyard an ideal base for short breaks or longer stays combining seaside living with culture, food and easy travel connections.
