The details
Tucked away in the rolling countryside above Folkestone, The Old Workshop is a characterful retreat for two that beautifully blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern comforts. Once part of the farm’s hardworking past, this cosy hideaway has been lovingly transformed into a warm and inviting escape where reclaimed wood, rich jewel tones and handcrafted details create a wonderfully atmospheric stay.
Inside, the open-plan living space has a striking double-height ceiling that adds a lovely sense of space, while tongue and groove panelling and vintage mirrors bring heaps of personality. The handcrafted kitchen is full of charm, featuring stone worktops, a copper sink and reclaimed timber throughout, making it a delightful place to rustle up lazy breakfasts or evening feasts. Settle at the dining table beneath the carved timber canopy or sink into the sofa with a drink after a day of exploring the coast and countryside.
The bedroom is calm and cosy, with a king size bed tucked beneath soft lighting and hidden built-in storage helping to keep things feeling peaceful and uncluttered. Meanwhile, the stylish shower room adds a touch of boutique luxury, with glossy green tiles, patterned flooring and a rainfall shower perfect for refreshing after long countryside walks.
Outside is where The Old Workshop really comes into its own. Sliding doors lead onto your enclosed patio garden where countryside views stretch out across the Kent Downs. Spend your evenings soaking in the bubbling hot tub beneath the stars with robes and towels provided for extra comfort. For an added treat, hire the woodfired pizza oven and enjoy homemade pizzas alfresco as the sun sets over the surrounding fields.
The setting is ideal for those wanting a mix of coast and countryside. Situated on the Elham Valley Way within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are endless walking routes right from your doorstep. On clear days you can even glimpse France on the horizon. Nearby Folkestone offers a vibrant seaside atmosphere with its buzzing Harbour Arm, independent eateries, lively bars and thriving Creative Quarter. Spend your days browsing galleries, enjoying outdoor cinema screenings or strolling along the coast towards the White Cliffs and Dungeness before retreating back to your peaceful countryside haven.
