The Grand Burstin Hotel has a scenic setting overlooking Folkestone’s harbour. As such, you’re going to want to splash out the extra (and by splash out, we mean a fiver or tenner) for a sea-view room.

This Britannia hotel’s got all the hallmarks of an affordable and fun seaside stay. You’ve got everything you need – from two restaurants and bars, to a health and leisure club. We’ll start with the restaurants. One serves a three-course menu, while the other’s a buffet affair with views over Folkestone harbour. There’s a carvery option, of course, too. Then the bar and ballroom are where the entertainment’s at. Bands, bingo, line dancing and late-night discos are all on the agenda.

And, when you want to unwind, there’s a health and leisure club for that. Guests have full access to the Spindles Folkestone Health and Leisure Club (some charges might apply), where you’ve got a heated pool, sauna and gym.
