About this property

The House on the Hill, Hythe

Perched above the historic Cinque Port town of Hythe, this exceptional five bedroom home with an indoor swimming pool, generous living spaces and beautiful wrap around garden offers the perfect setting for family gatherings and coastal escapes with friends. Set in an elevated position, the house boasts far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, and sea views from two of the bedrooms. Flooded with natural light from a vaulted ceiling and skylights above, this wonderful space has been designed for year-round enjoyment. Bifold doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out during the warmer months, while a comfortable poolside seating area provides the perfect place to relax between swims. Whether keeping younger guests entertained or enjoying a quiet morning dip before the day begins, the pool is sure to be a favourite feature of any stay. The beautiful kitchen is a sociable hub for gathering together, with a large central island, ample room for preparing holiday meals and plenty of space to linger over breakfast plans for the day ahead. A dining area seating six offers relaxed everyday seating in the kitchen, while the separate dining room provides a more formal setting for gathering over long meals and good conversation. Sleeping up to ten guests across five spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, the house offers comfort in abundance. Beautifully presented throughout, each bedroom provides a calm and restful retreat after days spent exploring the coast, countryside and nearby attractions. Outside, the landscaped wraparound gardens with mature plants, lawns and patio areas offer plenty of space to unwind. Children will love the freedom to play, while adults can settle into the slower pace of this tranquil setting. For multi-generational families and groups looking for space to come together, a private indoor pool and a peaceful setting close to the coast, The House on the Hill offers a memorable base to create lasting memories.

Wonderful Stay

Our family has just returned from an unforgettable stay at The House on the Hill, and it exceeded every expectation. This is one of those rare holiday homes that looks wonderful in the photos more impressive in person. Every bedroom is generously sized. The kitchen is fully equipped and had absolutely everything we needed. The outdoor space is equally spectacular. The heated swimming pool was the perfect size for both adults and children and quickly became everyone's favourite place to spend the day. The garden wraps all the way around the property and is wonderfully quiet, making it feel like a true countryside retreat.The location is perfect too. It's just an 8-minute stroll to the charming High Street with characterful independent shops, and restaurants. We strongly recommend visiting the Waterfront restaurant and bar, only around 10 minutes away for fantastic food and beautiful sea views. Folkestone station is also conveniently close, making the property easy to reach while still feeling wonderfully secluded. The service from the Keepers Cottages team was exceptional. They were available seven days a week, always friendly, responsive and genuinely helpful whenever we had a question. We were also greeted with a welcome hamper on arrival, which was a thoughtful touch. Everything about this property has been thoughtfully designed to create a relaxing, luxurious and memorable holiday experience. We genuinely cannot recommend The House on the Hill highly enough. A truly five-star experience in every sense. We all absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to go again next year.
