The Old Workshop

Cut from the same cloth as neighbouring The Old Toolshed – and available as two holiday lets together if desired, The Old Workshop, is a cosy testament to the farm’s previous working life; a reinvention where work gives way to relaxation and exploration.

Where once workbenches, wrenches and saws sat, now guests can enjoy breakfast under a carved canopy made out of local timber. The kitchen worktops and spacious dining table are hand crafted from recycled woods and framed by vintage mirrors. The insides are rich, jewel-like colours with tongue and groove panelling to enhance the character of this quirky one bedroomed lodge for two.

Set on the Elham Valley Way in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, above the creative coastal town of Folkestone. The Old Workshop is surrounded by lovely fields and paths, perfect for walking, from which on a clear day France will be your furthest horizon point in one direction with Canterbury, Deal and Dover in the other. Yet if the coast is calling, you can spend your days exploring Folkestone’s vibrant Harbour Arm, packed with independent eateries, bars and events, from which you can wander into Folkestones' Creative Quarter to taste the owners' uniquely brewed flavours of beer; brewed close to The Old Workshop, at his nearby bar The Blind Pig.

Apparently a pint goes particularly well with some time in the hot tub when you retreat home, and a hand-crafted woodfired pizza in the pizza oven, another feature of The Old Workshop.
