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 10kg. 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 and should be within a Saturday - Saturday time frame (or Friday - Friday by prior arrangement).

Ok for first 2 nights then person in flat above banged down to us and woke up up at 1.00am. left early as felt harassed as partner suffers from tinnitus and anxiety. Still in dispute with owner.
5.0
The flat was ideal for us as a couple who had a car and wished to explore on our own. It was clean and comfortable and Nikki was very responsive to our needs. It may not be the best for people with mobility issues as stairs are required to enter the property. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again as it was convenient to southeastern England locations

My trip to the UK was a difficult one as I was there - travelling alone from Canada - to visit a gravely ill family member and aging mum. I travel a lot for business and have extremely high standards. This beautiful Sandgate property far exceeded my expectations. A perfect size for a couple or solo traveller, this one-bedroom flat is beautifully decorated and tastefully appointed. All of the rooms are a good size and the host, Nikki, has thought of everything one could possibly need in a home away from home. At the end of my week I felt so at home that I extended my stay. Location is perfect – walk to shops, cafes and restaurants of Sandgate… Cross the road to the sea front. I spoke with Nikki on a couple of occasions and she was an absolute delight. It is evident she cares deeply that her guests have a wonderful experience at Belmont House. I will definitely be back for my next visit. Thank you Nikki.

The property is well located in Sandgate with craft beer and specialist wine bars close buy as well as a selection of pubs/restaurants. Folkestone harbour and town centre is not far and only about £5 in a taxi if you don’t fancy a walk or the bus.
The apartment is very tastefully decorated and well equipped for a stay.
The host Vikki is super responsive/friendly and provides a wealth of information on places to eat/drink/visit etc.
We had a lovely stay and would throughly recommend this property.

Really enjoyed my few days stay at this flat. It was located well to the sea front so had lots of lovely walks with my dog along the beach.
It was clean and really nicely decorated. Very comfortable and felt very at home there.
Little disappointed that the terrace was directly on the main street with lots of traffic passing. However given it was such a lovely place soon overcame disappointment.
Overall a very pleasant experience and Sandgate is such a lovely place.
5.0
The property is a one bedroom flat. The bed was comfortable, the flat was laid out well, and it included a fully equipped kitchen and a washer/dryer. The bathroom included a shower with a pebble floor that was really neat in that it was a non-slip surface.
The owners included regular staples like tea, coffee, sugar, and other items to make staying there very easy. The location is great and like it said, about two minutes from the beach. The owners included a book with local attractions and restaurants and detailed instructions as to the property. All was very useful.
We had two good meals at The Providence Inn and The Ship Inn seaview restaurant, just down the street from the flat.
We didn't use the kitchen except to make cereal and coffee, but there is a small local grocer down the street who has just about everything that you need if you wanted to use the kitchen. His prices are very reasonable, too.
This property in Sandgate was an excellent location for our sightseeing at the Battle of Britain Museum, Dover Castle, Canterbury, and Sandwich.
We highly recommend the Coastal Retreat to anyone coming to the area.

Home away from home
Great central location in Kent for exploring the area.
The property had everything we needed and the neighbour upstairs was very friendly and helpful with knowledge of the local area.
Sandgate itself is a lovely small town with a variety of shops, we particularly enjoyed a meal in the Sandgate Vaults.

Perfect in every way
What a fabulous spot for a week’s holiday! The apartment was spotless on arrival and so very comfortable, especially the bed! The location could not be better, within easy walking distance along the promenade to both Folkestone and Hythe. Sandgate itself is a lovely village, very friendly and welcoming. We did not want to leave! Thank you Nikki.

Amazing stay in Sandgate
Gorgeous little apartment a stones throw away from the beach. Beautiful modern flat in an old building which I would highly recommend. Lovely to have such a gorgeous kitchen and terrace to use as well as parking. I would certainly also recommend the local amenities of the inn door micro pub and its large selection of gin and the boathouse on the front.

Pleasant flat moments from the beach
Spacious, comfortable and clean flat very near the beach. When I booked I was concerned that it fronts onto a busy road (although with a patio between the house and the road) but the bedroom is at the back and we slept very well. It felt peaceful. Nice place. Note to owner - it would be helpful to give a house number.

Cosy little property
Good location, Sandgate is a lovely little seaside town, lots of character and not at all commercialised. The apartment was clean, decoration modern and it was very well stocked with extras such as DVD’s. Good communication with the owner and our little dog was made very welcome with a bed, blanket and treats. Lots to do and explore nearby.

Ideally situated property for exploring the beautiful Kent coast.

HOME FROM HOME
Lovely, homely flat in pretty little town. Unspoiled and relaxed place, great walks for miles in both directions along the seafront. Lots of thoughtful little extras in the flat and first class service from the owners. Highly recommended.

Great flat, excellent location minutes from beach and cafes
An excellent home from home. Ideal for a couple. It's clear a lot of care and thought has gone into the interior decoration of the flat making it both stylish and very comfortable. Good location too. The small patio garden at the front is ideal for breakfast or lunch outside, and early evening aperatives! We were lucky enough to get great weather! Our little dog was made very welcome too - with bowls, treats and even a bed for her. The parking space is a big bonus as public parking is limited in Sandgate. Sandgate has an excellent choice of cafes, restaurants, pubs and takeaways too, and is ideally situated, walkable to both, between Folkestone and Hythe. We will return.

Stylish and smart apartment in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay - our first holiday away with our toddler. We fitted the travel cot in the room with us and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever stayed in when on holiday, the towels were soft, and the shower was large so we fitted a laundry basket in to bath him in the evening. Sometimes we could hear the people upstairs in the evening, but I think that’s what you get for staying in a beautiful character filled flat in an old property, and going to bed quite early after an exhausting day exploring with a toddler. It was really handy having a parking space so near and all the information given to us by the owner was very clear and helpful.
