Groups Will Love...
The exposed timber beams and vaulted ceiling make The Old Workshop special. Original oak frames span the entire open-plan living space overhead. These authentic structural elements date back to the barn's working past. The high vaulted ceiling creates an airy feel whilst the dark timber beams provide striking contrast against white walls. This combination of original features gives the conversion genuine barn character that modern builds simply cannot replicate.
Pet Friendly
The Old Workshop does not accept pets. This policy keeps the barn suitable for guests with allergies or those preferring an animal-free environment. Whilst the surrounding Kent countryside would offer excellent walking territory for dogs, the owners have chosen to maintain a no-pets rule. If you're travelling with a dog, you'll need to look at other barn conversions in the area that welcome four-legged guests.

What an amazing property! Far exceeded expectations. The Old Workshop has been truly transformed into a high end and beautifully decorated place to stay and enjoy. On entering through the electric gate the front garden and entrance gives the wow factor! The kitchen and dining space is vast and was perfect for everyone to get together over meals and drinks. Kitchen has been fully equipped with great appliances including an American fridgefreezer and a wine fridge! Lovely bathrooms with great showers. 4 good size bedrooms all with airconditioning which was great. The wood fired hot tub and bbq area is a great space to relax. The area is so quiet and peaceful. Owner was super helpful during our stay. Will definitely come back soon.
