The sun room is part of the St Tropez-style large living area and provides a multi-sensory tropical haven where guests can top up their tan and feel fabulous since it is beneficial against a whole host of health conditions such as SAD, stress, arthritis, disorders and more.

Afetr busy days spent on the beach, guests of Beach Retreat are guaranteed an excellent night's sleep in one of the boutique, individually-themed bedrooms. On the ground floor are two king-size double rooms, both boasting luxury en-suite bathrooms and a single room. On the first floor, is a further "time travellers" themed twin room, a second twin room boasting its very own swing and a "surfer-style" bunkbed room, each completed with en-suite bathrooms. Also on this level is a further "Venetian-style" double room which has private use of the family bathroom.
The garden features a large lawned area with cast iron statue, an illuminated well stocked fish pond that houses Koi and goldfish, a small tropical garden, BBQ, outdoor daybed and garden furniture.

Hythe has a lovely high street with plenty of antiques, small shops and restaurants. Folkestone’s Creative Quarter is a hive of arty activity with galleries galore. Folkestone Leas nature park overlooks the ocean and perfectly complements dinner at the Grand Hotel.

An amazing place for a lovely weekend
My girlfriends and I had a fabulous weekend at this property
The house is perfect -
Attention to detail is amazing
We had the best week realxing, after calebrating Christmas. Fantasic location and a beautiful beach. The walks were amazing. We cany wait to come back. Happy New year!
-
Wonderful!
A wonderful location right next to the beach. A great house with a real sense of fun and luxury.
-
Would go back.
This house is brilliant. Eccentrically decorated - gave the house a real wow factor. The massive space downstairs - is brilliant for a large group to hangout in....and lots gadgets to play with. Dymchurch is right there and it’s lovely. We did a 15minute drive to DUNGENESS (a favourite place of mine) Would definitely like to go back. Thank you to the owners Louise and Karl, very friendly and relaxed.

The house was perfect

40th Birthday Celebrations.
We were absolutely blown away by the house and surroundings! There were 9 of us who stayed here for my 40th birthday and the house was perfect for a group of family or friends this size. Lots of lovely features including a well stocked kitchen, cinema room, LED lighting, music system, pretty garden with koi pond and apple tree. The hosts left a very generous hamper with bread, olives, biscuits and prosecco. The local area is gorgeous and the beach is stunning, there are some great local pubs and we even caught some morris dancing at one of them! Couldn't recommend this place highly enough, absolutely everyone in the group loved it, some treasured memories were made. Thank you so much.

Party House!
We had a lovely weekend at the Beach Retreat -
Great decor and a quiet little town - sun room was a treat! Music system also great! - Good size kitchen the place was clean and well maintained.
Very straight forward booking via Olivers and the owners were always on hand for any queries.
We were 3 couples - ideally I think its suitable for 2 couples and 2 kids - therefore the only snag for us was the bathroom situation - only 2 en suites with no doors only curtains for privacy!
There is a additional WC but waiting on showers was a little annoying - the upstairs of the property is under construction so hopefully it will all be fully functioning before long.
All in all a good experience - some lovely restaurants also very close by
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
