The open-plan layout makes it ideal for relaxed evenings in or lazy mornings with breakfast around the dining table.
Despite being partially underground, the apartment feels light and airy, offering a tranquil setting to unwind after beach walks or exploring the vibrant nearby towns of Folkestone and Hythe. The shower room downstairs is modern and sleek, completing the comfort-led space.
Beach Bunker offers private access to the beach from the rear of the apartment — perfect for early morning swims, sunset strolls or simply soaking up the sea breeze.
Travelling with a larger group or extended family? Located directly above Beach Bunker is an additional three-bedroom apartment that can also be booked, offering space and privacy for up to ten guests across both properties. Please enquire for availability and booking options.
