About this property

Channel View by Bloom Stays - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Embrace the vibrancy of coastal sunsets, the scent of wild fauna across the hills and the tranquillity and peace in this trendy, hotel-inspired chalet set high up on the hills overlooking the sea of Dover to Folkestone.

With uninterrupted views across the Channel, take some well-deserved ‘me-time' with a solo break or whisk your beloved away for a romantic getaway.​

Welcome the day with breakfast on the terrace enjoying watching the world slowly waking up. Just a short walk (20 mins) down to the beach, fill your days with seaside air, and great places to eat and drink. For some romantic inspiration, stargazing in summer will be a dream, whilst in winter months there's nothing better than winter walks in wellies, also enjoying the hot tub whilst watching the roaming pot-belly pig and pony from the comfort of steaming hot water. Many may just wish to curl up on the comfy sofas with the complimentary fizz in hand awaiting your evening meal delivery or rustle up a simple meal using the air fryer/microwave. A hotel-inspired service with a smile is on hand to collect your tray of evening plates and glassware which is readily returned for you in the morning. Now that's good service! Have afternoon tea arranged for a loved one, may you like balloons on arrival or a present laid out ready on the terrace.

Channel View: sleeps 2 in 1 bedroom and 1 shower / wet room. Private parking for two cars. Large porch-covered balcony with dramatic sea views. Hot tub access is available from 7pm (flexible). Lots of delivery services for meals. Friendly Pot belly pig and Shetland pony and chickens on site.

Nothing short of perfect

Had the best stay here. Starting with a message from the hosts to check what sort of goodies we’d like on arrival, everything we needed was taken care of. The place was absolutely gorgeous and furnished beautifully, with stunning views over the channel. My partner was blown away for her surprise weekend away. The hot tub and getting to say hello to the hosts pet pot bellied pig and Shetland pony was the icing on the cake. Would definitely come back again :)

A lovely weekend stay in Folkestone

Sonia and Lee were very welcoming and the flat was lovely and tastefully decorated, with lots of amenities and we had fresh milk, a bottle of wine, and and loaf of bread for breakfast which was all great and very welcoming. We did however feel like it was quite expensive and not value for money, as although the apartment itself was lovely, with the added bonus of the hot tub, we did feel like it wasn’t as private as we’d have liked, with the main house right beside the windows to the bedroom/bathroom. We are both quite tall, so the double bed with a footboard at the bottom wasn’t quite big enough for both of us - something to bear in mind when booking. Sonia and Lee were very accommodating and let us keep our bikes inside the property during our stay. The views from the property are stunning and there are superb views to enjoy while sipping on your morning coffee!

A wonderfully appointed, chic, costal hideaway with breath-taking views and fabulous hosts.

Channel View is nothing short of perfect for a coastal get away that balances a rural and secluded retreat with a chic and modern living space. Super well appointed, every little detail has been thought of to make the stay exactly what you want to it, be that a cosy hideaway through to a fun and comfortable base for some local coastal exporting. We only booked to stay for a night to getaway and it delivered everything we needed and then some. The chilled Prosecco on arrival, the perfect temperature of the hot tub, the stylish décor, the breath-taking views and the incredibly welcoming hosts made the trip utterly incredible. Some online reviews made me nervous that people had ended up being on holiday with the hosts but actually while engaging and informative, friendly and communicative Sonia and Lee really respect your privacy and space 100%. They make you feel like they always on hand if you need anything but equally you are left to enjoy your escape in peace if you choose to. I booked this trip as a little last minutes surprise for my fiancé as we love the sea, rural landscapes and to relax in a nice environment. Channel View and Sonia and Lee delivered this to the highest available standards and it was well beyond what I could have wished for. Next time we need to escape, we will be back here in a heartbeat and hopefully for a few days rather than just the 1 !

Do yourself a favour and book Channel View

Our hosts were the most lovely and attentive hosts ever, they were so helpful and the place was absolutely stunning, perfect for our week getaway! the grounds were beautiful with a spectacular garden and hot tub (which was the perfect end to some great days) I’ve already talked about booking again for next year as we had such a good time! If you’re unsure about where to go for your holiday/staycation do yourself a favour and let it be here you’ll have the nicest time, and book at least 2 nights in the hot tub too I promise you’ll want more than 1!
