  WOW

  There’s plenty of WOW factor to be enjoyed at The Breakers. The house is beautiful and if you love uninterrupted views of the sea, as we do, this is the place to be. It felt at times like being on a luxury yacht without the sea sickness! The delightful owners could not have been more welcoming, supplying us with a cot and high chair for our one year old grandson and a brand new bed and yummy treats for our dog. They then visited to show us how everything works in their exceptionally well appointed house and give us a comprehensive guide of things to do and places to eat in Folkstone - just a ten minute drive or half an hour stroll along the beach front- and surrounding area. We had a wonderful sense of quiet and privacy at The Breakers as the shingle beach directly outside the house remained relatively underpopulated even on hot, sunny days. There’s a sandy beach only ten minutes walk away so we felt we had the best of both worlds. We only used one of the two small kitchens in the house as we wanted to all eat together as a family. It was a bit of a challenge at times cooking for 6 and a toddler in such a tight space, but we couldn’t have wanted for a lovelier setting to enjoy family time together. On cooler days there’s a roaring wood burning stove to snuggle up to on the sofa while watching Netflix movies! So it really is a year round holiday house. This is definitely a five star stay and we recommend it extremely highly.

  The property is wonderful and we have visited before.

  The owners were very understanding when we requested a refund as scaffolding would be in place over the weekend. Unfortunately Sykes did not get back to us and let us know about this until two days before we were due to go. It was a birthday celebration and the owners kindly rushed back from their holiday, sorted out the flat and were really lovely and welcoming. I did however have to pay again, which I did on the understanding I would soon get a refund back into my account from the original booking. We went on the 25.9.20, it is now 15.10.20 and although the refund is sitting on my booking page it has not been returned to me! I know the owners aren't at fault but having only the ability to phone SYKES to sort this out is a big issue as I cannot wait on a phone line as long as present circumstances require so I think emailing to them to get this sorted would be a really good option in this case Unfortunately not open to anyone. Up until now I have found Sykes really good and this property is fantastic, we will definitely return. I can't fault the owners at all and my birthday weekend was wonderful, even with scaffolding obscuring some of the beautiful views which is a definite reason to visit. It is beautifully laid out and a perfect place to relax and unwind, truly wonderful! It is just a shame SYKES didn't do particularly well when dealing with issues or refunding me money.

  Absolutely amazing!

  My husband, our dog, and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful space and the surrounding area. As others have said, the space is exactly as advertised, if not better. The flat is immaculate, and the hosts were impressive in terms of responsiveness both in preparation for our arrival, upon our arrival, and in their availability to answer any questions during our stay. The hosts shared their combined knowledge and love of the area and local venues, which - as this was our first venture to this part of the UK - facilitated our enjoyment of some of the best the area has to offer, while also taking time to just relax in the sun on the terrace or on the beach directly in front of the property. I also have to give a shout-out to how 'dog friendly' this space is. The hosts welcome dogs wholeheartedly and enthusiastically. As an example, when we arrived, we found a dog bed and bowls for food and water for our four legged, in addition to some special treats just for her. Also, and as many dog owners will appreciate, the beach in front of the house is dog-friendly and it seemed that more people than not had their own pooch with them as they strolled or ran along the Coast Path that is situated between the property and the beachfront. We spent two weeks here and this place was exactly what we needed. Thank you!!
