Tastefully refurbished in contemporary style with modern, quality furnishings and fittings throughout. Spitfire View boasts a stylish landscaped garden, off street parking for two cars and is just a short walk from Folkestone's Leas, Costal park, famous seafront, sandy beach, artists quarters, bars and restaurants.

Our large family kitchen and dining areas feature easy-sliding bi-fold doors opening up the entire area onto a modern raised deck, bringing the outside world in. The comfortable rattan seating and south-facing bistro is perfect for lunches and relaxing on hot sunny days, entertaining family and friends or those quiet romantic dinners whilst admiring a sunset.

On many a sunny weekend, guests will be thrilled by the unforgettable sight and sound of historic Spitfires passing overhead en-route to the nearby battle of Britain memorial.

Relaxing here is easy whatever your holiday preference, from a wood-smoker bar-be-que on the circular patio to peaceful reading in the summer house or exploring the local attractions. Visit England’s smallest commercial steam railway in Hythe, the White cliffs at Dover, or walk the North downs. The historic City of Canterbury is just 25 minutes away and access to London and all its attractions is just 50 minutes via high speed train.

For the more adventurous, take your car on the Channel Tunnel to the continent in just 35 minutes. On foot, explore Folkestone’s artistic quarter and the Harbour arm, or visit the Leas and costal park. A folder of many more local attractions for the whole family can be found in the property.

Some excellent pubs and a choice of restaurants can be found in the local Harbour, Leas and town.

Our bedrooms feature luxury duck-down and feather quilts and pillows, (non feather available on request), with high quality pocket sprung mattresses throughout. All linen and towels are provided.

For relaxing nights, the lounge features a large screen TV with Netflix, Freeview, DVD, Blu-Ray, and Wireless Sound system, Hi Speed Wi-Fi and a cosy log burner with an initial supply of logs. A selection of Internal and external games are provided.

All linen and towels are provided.

A generous welcome pack awaits your arrival.

Amazing stay

Staying at Spitfire View was a pleasure. We loved the house and gorgeous garden. The welcome package was hugely appreciated by all of us - thanks again! The kitchen was well-equipped and provided us with essentials such as salt, oil, vinegar, spices, paper towels, tin foil etc. We highly recommend this holiday home

Fantastic stay

What a great location! Only a 15 minute walk to the harbour and a beautiful walk too. The property had everything we needed and the hosts were great to respond to any question we had. The bungalow is a great layout especially for families. We have stayed in a lot of properties but this is one of our favourites. Thanks so much for the great holiday!

Fantastic place to spend the holidays, winter or summer!

We had a marvelous one-week family holiday here over Christmas. The decorations were perfect: gorgeous tree, christmas crackers, Santa in the garden, and a cozy fire to sit around and play games all evening. Fiona and Graham are amazing hosts, truly the best in the business, the house was spotless, everything helpfully labelled with any necessary instructions, and the kitchen magnificent and perfectly stocked with all you need. The area is fantastic too, with walks up to the cliffs and downs within a few minutes from the house, and an equally beautiful walk down to the beaches and the harbourfront. All in all, a ten star experience. We are eager to return!

Perfect Accommodation

The holiday home was one of the best we ever had, the welcome package outstanding und nothing was missing in the house, we felt very much at home and had a very relaxing and great holiday in Folkestone. Although the walk to the beach and harbour was longer than expected, we soon found out that a bus just over the road was available and a good alternative to walking or using the car. We highly recommend this holiday home, it was really worth its rental.

Wunderschönes Haus und sehr nette Gastgeber

Wir waren für 14 Tage mit den Kindern dort. Als wir ankamen, wurden wir von einem Empfangspaket und Blumen begrüßt. Das Haus war sauber und hat alles,was man benötigt. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Sollten wir nochmal nach Folkestone kommen,dann gerne wieder in dieses Haus.

Great property in a fantastic location for holidays

The process couldn't have been easier, and the location was just right for visiting the surrounding countryside on a short holiday. Having our own space to call "home" made the trip that much nicer, and the hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and ready to go!

Perfect...

We had a great time here. It was wonderful. Graham and Fiona are fantastic hosts. The day after we arrived they came by to see if everything was ok. I had to open the door with the curlers in my hair. Very embarrassing, but we laugh about it. The house was very clean and very well equipped. There was a small problem with a door, this was fixed very quickly. Absolutely perfect. We went on day trips every day and then we were able to come back to this beautiful house. We really enjoyed the garden with the barbecue (In Germany, these barbecues are called "smokers", certainly an English word, but completely unknown in England. Very funny) and in the evening we could relax on the terrace. For myself, the trips to England are very important to improve my language skills, as I will be taking an exam soon. The friendly nature of the English led to many conversations. I wish the family that they always have guests who care for the house and treat it with respect. The advertisement here does not promise too much, everything was as promised. I am very happy to recommend it.

Urlaub wie bei Freunden zuhause

Freundlich aussehender Bungalow, in dem es alles gibt was das Herz begehrt: moderne Ausstattung, geräumige Küche, chillige Outdoor-Lounge, Grillecke im Garten (mit Smoker!), Möwen und Spitfires am Himmel. Bestes Willkommenspaket ever, Graham und Fiona haben an alles gedacht, brachten am heißesten Tag sogar noch Ventilatoren vorbei! Danke und hoffentlich bis bald mal wieder!

A relaxing and modern home from home

The stay at Spitfire View was exceptional. The property is clean, modern and has a number of little touches that make you feel home from home. Communication with Graham and Fiona was prompt and friendly. They gave more recommendations about the local area and provided a high chair and cot to save us space in the car. Nothing seemed to be to much of a problem. The sun shined all week so we walked to the beach (25mins door to sand) most days, but also enjoyed coming back to sit in the garden and relax on the decking. Our entire family felt safe, relaxed and absolutely loved our time away. Would 100% recommend a stay.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona and Graham Heritage

We love renting self catering holiday properties ourselves and over the years have stayed in many, both in UK and abroad, from great to not so good, from soulless shells to fantastic places made special by their owner's care and attention to detail. On one such holiday we decided we'd like to use what we'd learnt to create our own holiday property and Spitfire View is the result. With many months of personal restoration we hope that it will provide the right balance of features and facilities to make an ideal retreat for your next holiday. We hope you will give it a try and let us know, we'd be delighted to welcome you.
Fiona and Graham.
