The View Hotel Folkestone

You’ll find this white townhouse hotel in the Leas, Folkestone’s square-and-garden-lined clifftop promenade. All 44 rooms feature contemporary decor elements, including wood-panelled headboards and hues of grey and mauve, and period details. Expect high ceilings, fireplaces and bay windows with partial or full views of the English Channel. Menus at the sea-facing bar and restaurant, the Cliffe, focus on Kentish produce. Try a bowl of rope-grown mussels or tempura-style soft-shell crab before retiring to your room.
