Family-friendly vacation rentals in Folkestone

Sam was an excellent host! She caters for every need and is very warm and welcoming. The treetops has everything you need, was very clean and tidy and the hot tub was a bonus. We will definitely love to come back and highly recommend it to everyone! Would give 10 stars if we could.

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.

We had a lovely short break here as a family of four with two teens and a dog. The accommodation is compact but nicely done, well furnished and equipped. Beds and hot tub were immaculate. Aiden recommended the Folkestone harbour arm and local Cliff View Cafe, both of which we visited and enjoyed. We really enjoyed the WW2 tunnels at Dover Castle too. Would definitely recommend.

Such a beautiful place and the hosts were really friendly. This area of Kent has so many lovely walks, we really enjoyed visiting some local churches. The shepherd’s hut has all the essentials, and the decking and hot tub overlooking the lake are glorious. It was lovely meeting the hosts’ spaniel!

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!

Absolutely gorgeous place. Just like the photos! It was lovely and peaceful sitting outside watching the sheep grazing. Perfect location for day trips to Camber Sands and Rye and Sally was incredibly helpful with giving us recommendations for places to see and eat. A perfect and peaceful weekend with our two children. Thank you so much! Oh and the carrot cake other reviews also mentioned definitely lived up to its hype! Delicious and a very thoughtful gesture. Thank you.

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.

Beautiful house, immaculately clean and fabulous location. Great beach very close by and everything was as described and fantastic communication. Highly recommended choice of break

Jennifer’s cottage was lovely . The garden was very beautiful with lots of roses and flowers and very peaceful. The house was really comfortable and cosy . A short walk into the charming village of Ticehurst I would highly recommend

Everything from initial booking to arrival & departure was excellent. Good communications , instructions & local recommendations! Nothing to fault & lots to praise - would definitely recommend if you want a novel property in a peaceful location!!

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!

Absolutely dreamy stay. Tucked away in nature, this place was everything we hoped for and more. No WiFi, no electrics–just the simplicity of a gas cooker, a fire pit, and the sound of the outdoors. It was so peaceful, the perfect place to truly unwind and disconnect. I spent a few days here with my mum and we both came away feeling rested and recharged. The bed was incredibly comfortable–honestly one of the best sleeps I’ve had in ages. Couldn’t have asked for a more magical escape. Thank you for creating such a special spot!

Such a lovely apartment in a great location. Janey was a brilliant host, very friendly, flexible and responsible. All in all totally faultless.

Really nice a peaceful escape, everything you need all in one place. The swimming pool is alot bigger then the photos make out and the hottub was perfect to relax. Will defo return

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 had a great stay for a long weekend with the family. The place was very roomy and had plenty of space for us all. Neil was very accomodating to last minute changes.

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.

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

A really unique place in lovely grounds. As a family with young children the facilities made the stay for us. The Wing itself is nice full of character in terms of the architecture and decor. The place was clean, comfortable beds, kitchen had the essentials. Only thing I’d say is the bathroom and kitchen could do with a simple modernisation but really nothing to worry about, everything worked fine. The family say they would return so that’s the ultimate verdict.

We had a lovely week in Plantagenet and really cannot recommend it enough; the cottage really exceeded our expectations. The garden is phenomenal. It was a private and tranquil escape and our collie thoroughly enjoyed doing laps of the large garden despite the rainy weather. We loved it from the moment we arrived and didn't want to leave. The cottage is well equipped, has a great cosy ambiance with lots of indoor and outdoor game options no matter what the weather. The communication with Tim&Maite was friendly and responsive, we particularly appreciated the slightly late check out. We are hoping to book again soon with more of our family joining us.

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!
