To be honest, it's not the first place I would think of as a holiday resort [sorry, anyone living there], but it is accessible to places like Whitstable and Canterbury, France etc. if you want to use it as a base. No idea what the hotels are like, the town was rather run down, as I remember.

My Mum, Dad and Aunty had a wonderful holiday there once. There was coach travel and day trips were included, including a day in Boulogne? There was entertainment in the hotel each evening too! Lovely.
My Dad had a way with words and we always referred to it as their holiday in Foll-kess-tony with a day in Boo-log-nee!

I stayed in Folkestone once on one of those 5day break holidays - most of the time we were out and about - you know trip to France and all that, but to stay I think Dover is better. Much more to do. Can't tell you about the craft shops though.
