About this property

Spacious garden flat with parking. Pet friendly. Only 2 minutes from the beach

  • Ground floor apartment. 1 quiet bedroom to the rear with a kingsize bed, 1 sofa bed in the lounge, separate kitchen/diner.

    1 small breed dog allowed with prior notice. No puppies under 12 months old. Fees apply. No other type of pets/animals accepted. Dog sitting services available.

    Located in Sandgate (2 minutes from the beach) and just 55 minutes from London and 10 minutes from EuroTunnel, this is a perfect retreat. We have our own entrance, a private gated patio garden to the front and off-road parking!

    * * * *

    This is a lovely spacious garden flat on the ground floor of a 4-storey building built in the 1800’s and offers approx. 54sqm / 577 sq ft of space.

    It has a cosy cottage feel about it with sole use of the gated front patio garden with private access from both the front and rear of the building.

    The front entrance porch has practical space for shoes and coats and leads to a generous lounge, complete with 2-seater sofa-bed and 2 armchairs. The sofa-bed includes a wonderfully comfortable small double memory foam mattress (4ft x 6ft).

    The lounge is a light and airy room with solid wood flooring that suits the charm and the character of the building.

    We have a flat screen TV with Freeview, Sonos and Wi-Fi internet access plus a varied selection of DVDs and books.

    Through the door to the kitchen and dining area, which is well equipped with all new appliances including electric oven and gas hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washer dryer along with cupboards packed with plenty of pots, pans, crockery & glassware, cutlery & utensils - all that you might need for a short or long stay. There is seating and dining space for up to 4 guests.

    The inner hallway leads to the bathroom and bedroom and also the rear access to parking.

    The bathroom is modern and spacious and consists of WC, basin and a generous sized walk-in shower. We will provide bath towels for your stay and we also keep a supply of shampoo, conditioner and shower gels available which you are welcome to use.

    The bedroom is a quiet space to the rear of the building with a king size bed with the most comfortable memory foam & spring combo mattress. Perfect for a restful sleep. There’s also a chair & side table, clothes rail and chest of drawers.

    The bed will be made up ready for your arrival.

    This is an ideal retreat for couples, but the sofa bed allows for an extra adult or up to 2 young children. It’s perfect as a base to visit the many attractions around Kent and surrounding areas.

    Guests with children or with mobility issues should be aware that there are 8 quite steep steps down to the road from the front patio garden and a further 8 to the rear. There are handrails to assist at both.

    Local amenities include a village store/post office and various pubs, restaurants, tearooms and shops all within meters of the property.

    The village of Sandgate fringes the English Channel and spans 2.5 kms of Kent coastline between Folkestone and Hythe. It's just a few minutes from both towns by car or bus or a level seafront walk or cycle ride. You'll find beaches with long views over the Channel.

    There are plenty of places to visit including Folkestone's Lower Leas Coastal Park, the "World Famous" Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch miniature railway, Dover Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and many more wonderful spots throughout the Kent countryside or if you prefer you can jump on a ferry and head to France for the day.

    We are happy to accept 1 small, well-behaved dog at a charge of £25 per stay for additional cleaning. To save any embarrassment, please do not ask about any dogs that are not a small breed - over 12kg. We have an agreement with our neighbours and are unable to offer accommodation for any dog that does not fit this description.

    **Please note that the minimum booking during peak season is 4 nights. We do have adhoc days and occasional shorter options, so do contact me prior to booking if you are unsure**

A great stay in Sandgate

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment has a lovely beach vibe and has everything you need. The location is great - just across the road from the beach and close to Sandgate's coffee shops, pubs and restaurants. Nikki was very quick to respond to questions before we booked, and our dog really appreciated the welcome treats.

Perfect holiday stay

The garden flat was perfect in every way! Located opposite the beach in Sandgate & a stroll to restaurants and cafes. The spotlessly clean accommodation provided everything & more for a wonderful carefree holiday.Nikki was the perfect host & very amenable to our sudden change of plans when a friend unexpectedly turned up.I would very highly recommend this place to anyone considering a holiday in Sandgate.

We felt very comfortable here, and it was one of the nicest vacation rentals we've ever stayed in. Unfortunately, there were problems with the heating on the first day, so we were a bit cold, but Nikki took care of it the next day, and with the help of a portable heater, we were able to start our vacation off right. Nikki was even kind enough to refund us for the first night. 6 stars!- Superbly equipped kitchen- Spotlessly clean- The parking space was too small for our car (4.95 x 2.14 m), but we were able to park in the paid parking lot a 3-minute walk away.

Very nice flat

Lovely flat , very comfortable bed, all in good order with fantastically equipped kitchen and nice shower. Everything we needed was there, and host was quick to answer any questions. Not really for older couples, due to steps down from parking at the back, and parking a little tricky (which host did point out) Back area looks rather down at heel when you arrive, which is a shame considering how nice the flat itself is.

Fantastic short break

My husband and I decided to visit Kent because my family still live here.We stayed in Sandgate which I know well and we ate at the local Indian which was amazing.We ate and drank at the John Dorey wine bar.We also had a drink at the Docker.Sandgate is really a great place to visit in the evening it’s really busy.I can honestly say our visit was perfect.Our accommodation was so refreshing , it was perfect in every way.I would say, though it was perfect for us there are steps to the accommodation that maybe a guest with mobility issues might struggle a little but better at the front of the house.The accommodation has everything that you would need for self catering holiday.It’s cosy and warm and very clean.We are returning later in the year and I’m so pleased to have booked this little gem at the beginning of the year before it get completely booked up.Also a stones throw from the pebble beach and promenade.We did lots of walking and the weather was perfect.

Third perfect stay

We had such a great time again in Sandgate and of course the fantastic weather was a bonus. Nikki is a fabulous host and this makes the holiday stress free. We took the bus to Dover and spent the day at the Castle which was fascinating. Also enjoyed lovely walks along the Military Canal into Hythe and beyond. Thank you once again Nikki.
