Overview
Some places simply make you smile the moment you walk through the door, and Radnor Rest is one of them.
Beautifully styled with rich jewel tones, luxurious textures and thoughtful finishing touches throughout, this boutique holiday home offers the perfect balance of comfort, style and location. Whether you're escaping for a romantic weekend, a family seaside holiday or bringing your four-legged companion for long coastal walks, you'll quickly feel at home here.
The layout has been cleverly designed to separate relaxation from socialising. Upstairs you'll find two beautifully presented bedrooms and the contemporary family shower room, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of each day. A short flight of stairs then leads down into the heart of the home – a bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that's made for spending time together.
The kitchen is sleek, modern and fully equipped, making everything from lazy breakfasts to celebratory dinners effortless. Gather around the dining table with fresh pastries from a local bakery before heading out to explore, or return with fish and chips from the harbour to enjoy together after a day by the sea.
Sink into the sumptuous emerald sofa with a glass of wine, stream your favourite film, or simply relax while planning tomorrow's adventure. The lounge also features a single sofa bed, offering additional flexibility for a fifth guest.
Outside, your own private enclosed garden awaits. Fire up the BBQ, enjoy dinner under the evening sky or start your morning with coffee in the sunshine before strolling down to the beach.
With Folkestone Harbour, the vibrant Creative Quarter, independent cafés, restaurants, beaches and the station all within easy walking distance, Radnor Rest puts one of Kent's most exciting seaside towns right on your doorstep.
Take a look at
Step inside Radnor Rest and you'll immediately notice that this isn't your average holiday home. Carefully curated interiors combine calming neutrals with bold pops of colour, creating a space that's both stylish and wonderfully welcoming.
As you enter the property, a small staircase leads you to the upper level where you'll find both beautifully furnished bedrooms and the contemporary family shower room.
The principal bedroom feels wonderfully boutique, with its striking mustard velvet headboard, layered cushions, soft throws and elegant dressing area creating a luxurious space to retreat to after a day exploring the coast. The second bedroom continues the stylish theme with calming sage green tones, leafy accents and plenty of natural light, making it equally inviting for family or friends.
The modern shower room sits alongside the bedrooms and features a large walk-in shower with sleek contemporary fittings.
Head back down the stairs and you'll arrive in the sociable heart of the home. The beautifully designed open-plan kitchen and dining space is perfect for preparing everything from leisurely breakfasts to evening feasts, while the adjoining lounge invites you to slow down and relax.
Stretch out on the emerald velvet sofa with your favourite series, curl up in the matching armchair with a book, or simply gather together to chat about the day's adventures. The lounge also includes a comfortable single sofa bed, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for an additional guest.
Patio doors lead directly into your private enclosed garden. This charming outdoor space is ideal for morning coffee, afternoon drinks or firing up the BBQ while your dog safely enjoys the fresh air nearby.
The split-level layout gives Radnor Rest a unique sense of space, creating peaceful sleeping areas upstairs and a sociable entertaining space below. Combined with its outstanding location and beautiful interiors, it's a place you'll look forward to returning to after every day exploring Folkestone.

A stunning location
One of the best things about staying at Radnor Rest is that once you've arrived, you can forget about the car.
Just a leisurely walk away lies Folkestone Harbour and the Harbour Arm, where mornings begin with artisan coffee overlooking the English Channel and evenings end with street food, live music and spectacular sunsets. Wander along the boardwalk, watch fishing boats return with the day's catch or simply sit with an ice cream as the sea rolls in.
From here, you're perfectly placed to explore Folkestone's colourful Creative Quarter, where independent galleries, artisan bakeries, boutique shops and family-run restaurants spill along charming streets full of character. It's the kind of place where every corner seems to reveal another hidden café or local favourite.
If you're craving the beach, you're only minutes from the shoreline. Spend the day swimming, paddleboarding, collecting sea glass or simply stretching out with a good book while the children and dog enjoy the fresh sea air.
Travelling by train? Radnor Rest couldn't be more convenient. Folkestone Central Station is within easy walking distance, with regular high-speed services whisking you to London St Pancras in under an hour. Whether you're escaping the city for the weekend or arriving without a car, reaching your holiday couldn't be simpler.
The property also makes an excellent base for discovering the wider Kent coast. Hythe, Sandgate, Dover, Canterbury and the White Cliffs are all within easy reach, while vineyards, castles, coastal walks and family attractions provide endless opportunities for memorable days out.
Whether you're here for lazy beach mornings, exceptional food, coastal adventures or simply a change of pace, Folkestone has a wonderful habit of making visitors stay just a little longer than planned.
