Look one way for the sea. Turn around for
the castle.
A house on the hill above Hythe. Sea on one side, castle on the other, hot tub on the roof.
Elevated Escape sits above the old town, a mile up from the beach at Hythe. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cinema room and an arcade downstairs — and a rooftop terrace with a hot tub, a covered bar and a barbecue at the top.
Built for families, couples and groups who want somewhere everyone actually wants to stay in, not just sleep in.

Gather
Kitchen, sofa, a table for eight
One long open-plan room: full kitchen at one end, dining table and bench at the other, deep corner sofa in between. It's the room everyone drifts back to.
Spacious, well laid out communal space.

Rest
Three bedrooms, two bathrooms
Two double rooms with blackout blinds and proper bedding, plus a bunk room that suits kids or one more couple. Two full bathrooms, which matters when there are ten of you.
Spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and truly comfortable.

Relax
Cinema, sauna, arcade
The three things guests write home about. A blacked-out cinema room with bean bags for film nights, a sauna built into the second bathroom, and an old-school arcade cabinet on free play with more than 5,000 games on it.
The cinema room is top notch!

Ascend
The roof. This is why you booked.
Lawn underfoot, loungers, a covered bar with stools and a barbecue, and a hot tub set into the deck facing out over the town. Festoon lights come on at dusk. Most groups don't come back down until it's dark.
Fabulous views of the sea from upstairs.

WHERE YOU ARE
Hythe, Kent — and the coast around it
Hythe is one of the original Cinque Ports: a working seaside town rather than a resort, with a Saturday market, second-hand bookshops and the Royal Military Canal running through the middle of it. The house sits on the hill above the town, which is where the sea view comes from — and it puts Folkestone, Dover and Dungeness all within a short drive.

Hythe beach
1 MILE · 20 MINUTE WALK
A long shingle beach for morning swims, dog walks and sunsets, with the promenade running the whole way along to Sandgate.
.jpg)
Folkestone Harbour Arm
15 MINUTES BY CAR
Street food, bars and live music along the old harbour wall, plus the Leas clifftop walk and the Creative Quarter behind it.
.jpg)
Hythe high street
10 MINUTE WALK DOWNHILL
Independent cafés, antique and book shops, pubs and a Saturday market. The Royal Military Canal towpath starts here, and so does the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch miniature railway.

The White Cliffs and Dover Castle
20 MINUTES BY CAR
Clifftop paths above the Channel and a thousand years of castle behind them. On a clear day you can see France from the top.
Also close: Port Lympne Reserve, Dungeness and Derek Jarman's garden, and Canterbury. Getting here — Eurotunnel terminal 15 minutes, M20 junction 11, or London St Pancras to Folkestone West in about 55 minutes.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions guests ask
How many people does Elevated Escape sleep?
Up to 10. Three bedrooms — two doubles and a bunk room with a small double sofa bed — plus two king size sofa beds in the living room, and two bathrooms.
How far is the house from Hythe beach?
About a mile. The house sits on the hill above the town, so the beach and the high street are an easy walk down, and an uphill walk back.
Is there a hot tub and a sauna?
Both. The rooftop terrace has the hot tub, a covered bar and a BBQ; the sauna is built into the second bathroom.
Is there parking at the property?
Free off-road parking on a private gated driveway, with an EV charger on site.
What is there for children to do?
A cinema room with bean bags, an arcade cabinet with over 5,000 games, board games, and children's books, toys and tableware. The roof lawn gives them somewhere to run about.
What's nearby?
Hythe seafront and the Royal Military Canal are walkable. Folkestone Harbour Arm is about 15 minutes by car, Dungeness and the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway around 25, and the Eurotunnel terminal about 15.
