“This Folkestone hotel, a stone's throw from Sandgate's beach, impressed me with its Victorian charm and personalized service. I particularly appreciate its blend of historical character and modern comforts; the sea views are exceptional. The wine list alone is worth a visit, promising a delightful evening after a day exploring the coast.”
