Family-friendly vacation rentals in Folkestone

Very clean, great host very attentive but not intrusive hot tub was immaculately clean Sam is a lovely lady and couldn’t do enough for us I’d recommend for anyone to stay here lovely little village nice pub and Indian restaurant the pub done an amazing roast dinner…me an the wife had an amazing two days in the studio apartment. Thanks again Sam, see you again soon.

We have spent half term at Lisa’s place, the house is very spacious, located in quiet residential area, about 10 minutes walk from the train station and 25-30 from the town centre which was exactly what we wanted. Lovely large property for our group of 9, we love the gym and hot tub plus a basket of goodies on arrival was an unexpected touch. We had a great stay and was so lucky with the weather too, did lots of small trips with kids so train station nearly was very handy. Would definitely recommend it.

Really great stay for a large group, wirh fantastic sized bedrooms all round, plenty of space for everyone and lovely outdoor space for good weather!

We had a fantastic stay! The apartment was clean, cosy and exactly as described. The location was perfect – quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Janet was a wonderful host: friendly, helpful and easy to reach. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we really enjoyed relaxing in the whirlpool after long days out. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Janet!

What a beautiful cottage! Exactly like on the photos, very charming. Surroundings are stunning, hot tub was a treat. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The conservatory was great to just sit and play board games and have lovely meals, was nice and warm and toastie in there and the views!! Pauline’s communication and response times were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. All I would suggest, if possible is perhaps to think of some sort of covers/shelter from the cold/wind by the hot tub. It was very windy and we still wanted to enjoy the hot tub, but it got very cold whilst inside. Some sort of coverings will work a treat. Pauline suggested some great pubs and things to do in the area. All and all my friends and I had a lovely stay. Thanks Pauline!

Victoria’s house was amazing. A group of us stayed for a walking weekend and was the perfect spot to walk to Dungeness and back. The rear access to the dunes and the beach was incredible. Victoria is an amazing host and was helpful and responsive all the way. Would definitely recommend.

Had a two night stay in 'The Dairy'. Lovely place. Clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Great views from the hot tub (enjoyed watching the local horses rolling in the morning!) Straight forward check in with no problems. Only suggestion would be a hook or two in the bathroom - there wasnt much space for toothbrushes/wash bag for 4 people. But really cant fault it. Would recommend. Thanks.

We stayed at Nina's in the Easter holiday with our two younger children. All of us were left enchanted by her beautiful home! we would love to revisit in the near future. The living room and open plan kitchen was perfect for our family. We enjoyed eating our meals with the garden doors wide open. I must say the garden stole the show with it's spacious hot tub! It's situated in such a mesmerising location where you look out to fields. Sheep can be heard constantly- something my three year old absolutely loved! We miss the serenity of the countryside and the beautiful views from the house! Definitely worth a visit! The surrounding areas are simply superb!

Brilliantly converted stable in peaceful setting. There are lots of great things to do a short drive away, Rye, Camber Sands, Dungeness and lots more. The is a lovely pub, the wool pack, within walking distance.

We loved our stay at Standen Granary. It was just what we were looking for, somewhere comfortable to relax and enjoy being outdoors. The property has everything you need for a very comfortable stay, is spotlessly clean and is tastefully furnished to a high quality. We particularly appreciated being able to relax in the beautiful garden. Thank you to Cecilia for being a really great host and always being quick to reply to any questions we had. This is well located for visiting Rye and Camber Sands and we also had a lovely walk to The Three Chimneys pub, which took just over an hour and we'd definitely recommend.

This house was beautiful and had everything that we needed. The location was so quiet and our host was welcoming. We all wanted to move here and become artists. We walked across the fields to the local pub and saw the sunset on the way back. Idyllic.

We had a lovely time at this beautiful cottage. There was ample space for a family of four. The interior has been lovingly decorated with period furniture and clearly inspired by Charleston and the Bloomsbury set. The garden is wonderful and full of roses and herbaceous perennials - a perfect English cottage garden. The cottage looks over fields in which we saw deer and many birds. A dream location.

We absolutely loved our stay here and wished it could have been longer! It was the perfect get-away-from-it-all - the place and the location. So peaceful and relaxing, especially sitting back by the firepit and watching the bats and other wildlife. And laying back looking up at the stars too! Great info for walks etc in the folder, and the walk across the estate and woods to The Swan was perfect. Very comfy bed and sofas to snuggle up and read in front of the fire too. We've already said we want to stay again!! Just a brilliant stay. Just what we needed. Thank you again!!

We had a fantastic stay at Coldharbour Cottage. It’s full of character, beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean – every detail had been thought through. The views are stunning, and the peaceful setting made for such a relaxing trip. We loved exploring nearby Rye with its cobbled streets, antique shops and cafés, and picked up some fresh local food to cook back at the cottage. It’s also perfectly located for visiting nearby National Trust sites. We stayed with our 18-month-old son and it was brilliant for him – outdoor toys, a slide, and kids’ books made it feel really family-friendly. Andrew, the owner, also kindly took us to see the chickens and collect eggs, which was such a treat! Cooking on the Aga was great fun, and we loved reading all about the cottage’s fascinating history. We felt so at home and would absolutely love to return!

Lovely apartment with private courtyard. Easy access to the beach and local pubs and restaurants. Janey couldnt do enough for us xx

A perfect place for a family celebration, beautiful house, extremely comfortable and well equipped. Everyone commented on the very comfortable beds and beautiful linen. The bath was a treat for everyone looking out at the oak tree. We had a bbq one evening, in wonderful surroundings and all the equipment you could need. The walks from the house are stunning and pub recommendations very useful. The muffins on arrival were delicious and the company of the exceptionally well behaved and friendly dogs was a highlight, not forgetting the lovely cat. We left, reluctantly, feeling refreshed and restored and have taken away many happy memories, thank you.

Very well located accommodation close to the beach and the city center. We had a lovely family weekend. The teenagers (and grandparents) were able to enjoy the pool which is very spacious and pleasant. The accommodation is very well-equipped and well-decorated. We were also able to enjoy the outdoor terrace and its barbecue. The whole family was happy with their stay, from the welcome by Frédérique with lots of very pleasant little touches and until the departure, where we were able to stay until Sunday afternoon. We recommend this listing which is ideal for a weekend with family and we will gladly come back.

We spent a lovely week at Alison's farm. Beautiful location near charming Ticehurst and Wadhurst (both have good Pubs), incredible views across open countryside and hills from the heated outdoor pool, which our daughter loved. Slides, swings and a trampoline bonus points with kids. Alison was friendly and helpful. The Shed itself is warm and comfortable, kitchen is kitted out for basic meals, and the two ensuite bathrooms are super spacious and have good showers with hot water plus bathtubs. There is so much to do in the area from beautiful walks, tastings at vineyards, to cyclyng in Bedgbury, boating in Bewl Water and seaside beauties Rye and Camber in the vicinity.

Fantastic stay, hosts were brilliant and went out way to make me feel welcome, lovely to have use of the pool, nice walk from streathem station over the common and lovely neighbourhood, highly recommend

We had a great stay here. Perfect for the group of 11 we had. Plenty of space very clean and tidy as just as stunning as the photos

We had an amazing stay here for 5 days as a family of 5 including 2 elderly grandparents plus our dog. From the minute we walked through the gate, we were amazed by the beauty of the cottage and secluded garden, which our dog loved. The pool and hot tub were great touches and we made the most of them even though the weather wasn’t as hot as we would like. We enjoyed using the fireplace too in the evenings, which gave the cottage a comfy cosy feel. There were lovely touches, such as a welcome basket & treats left on the beds and for the dog. We would love to revisit and hope to do so in the future. Really recommend this cottage for some relaxing time away with family or friends.

Perfect place for our family of four to stay for a peaceful and secluded retreat for a couple of nights. The cottage was lovely and the grounds and surrounding garden were beautiful. My two primary school aged daughters loved spending time in the swimming pool and even attempted to play a bit of tennis! Caroline was a brilliant host and keen to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Super friendly and always clear and responsive with communication. Would love to stay here again some time and hope we get a chance to do so!

We were very impressed on arrival. Lovely peaceful grounds, pool bigger than we’d expected and great games area. Good place to stay with our extended family, good central location, really enjoyed nearby Canterbury. We were lucky with the weather. We visited Howletts zoo & 2 different sea-sides. The house is quite warm, it’s great fans are provided in all bedrooms. Improvements- Need better extraction for the kitchen- & update the book on what to do if the smoke alarm goes off! The agency were quick to help but with poor phone signal this was tricky to arrange. Bigger beds/ new mattresses Downstairs loo had no toilet lid Other reviews mentioned cobwebs & the place seeming a bit ‘tired’, I’d agree with some of that but it didn’t stop us having a wonderful time & a few cobwebs don’t bother me, everything else was clean and we’d love to return .

This was our second visit to the Lighthouse and it still is an amazing place, from the panoramic sea views to a lovely warm inviting home. A dip in the pool before breakfast, sitting with a coffee watching the seascape, as far as Essex and beyond, sunsets and so much more. I will make the same comment as I did last, this goes for the whole of our party across 3 generations and the dogs, the only bad thing about the Lighthouse is having to leave. Hopefully this will not be our last visit.
