A short walk from Folkestone Harbour's food trucks and the buzz of its thriving Creative Quarter, this quirky Sandgate Beach bolthole is perfectly placed to explore everything East Kent has to offer. The interior is dominated by an eye-catching mural by local Kent artist Oliver Trowell, with picture windows and sliding doors providing access to the balconies and terraces that surround the home, offering unparalleled views as far as France on a clear day. All told, it's a unique and playful south coast escape to share with your friends and family. When you're not making the most of direct access to its pebble beach, spend a soothing afternoon seeking out under-appreciated trinkets in Sandgate's antique shops, sipping pints in its charming pubs and enjoying a bite to eat in its fantastic selection of restaurants.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
