Langhorne Garden Hotel, Folkestone

Just metres from the Leas, Folkestone’s cliff-top promenade, this family-run hotel offers comfortable en suite accommodation and a cellar wine bar offering a wide choice of wines, lagers and real ales.

Originally built in the 1870s, the Langhorne Garden Hotel is just metres from the Leas. The mile-long promenade offers views of Folkestone on one side and superb sea views of the English Channel on the other. On a clear day, you can see France.

Just 10 minutes’ drive from Folkestone’s Channel Tunnel terminal and close to the ferry port at Dover, the hotel makes a convenient base for a day trip to France or as a stopover on the journey into Europe.

The hotel is also a good base from which to explore Kent, known as the Garden of England.

There are 29 comfortable en suite rooms, all with modern facilities. The hotel has a lift and a dining room offering traditional English cooking.

The hotel’s elegant dining room is situated on the ground floor and caters exclusively for guests. The dining room offers authentic typical English food, with traditional roast dinners and simple dishes. There are also 2 bars to choose from. The main bar is on the ground floor and again caters exclusively to hotel guests. Directly below, where the old cellars once were, is Harvey's Wine Bar. Harvey’s serves a selection of bar meals, real ales, fine wines by the glass or by the bottle, four lagers, Guinness (both normal and extra cold), and an impressive selection of spirits including single malts. The bar offers 3 guest ales, which change on a monthly basis, with beers from both national breweries and regional and micro breweries available. Harvey’s consists of a series of rooms and alcoves and has a pleasant beer garden outside. The bar also has a pool table, fruit machines, a jukebox, table football and a big-screen TV showing live sporting events.
