About

Escape to a storybook setting in the heart of the Kent Downs at Ella’s Loft, a one-bedroom romantic retreat beautifully converted from a former cart barn, tucked within a peaceful churchyard in the picturesque village of Godmersham. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient woodland, and just a short drive from the historic city of Canterbury and the postcard-perfect village of Chilham, this unique bolthole is the ideal hideaway for two.

Inside

Step up onto the raised decking and through the door into a bright, open-plan living space where natural light floods through large windows, illuminating a thoughtfully arranged interior that makes intelligent use of space. The lounge area features a soft sofa perfectly placed for movie nights or curling up with a good book, while the sleek wall-mounted TV adds a modern touch.

The kitchen is compact but impressively well-equipped, featuring an electric oven and hob, fridge, and even a discreetly built-in dishwasher to make self-catering effortless. Clever design continues with a fold-away dining table and chairs, ideal for intimate meals or laid-back breakfasts before setting out on the trail.

The bedroom is serene and inviting, with a sumptuous king-size bed dressed in high-quality linens and stylish soft furnishings. Built-in wall drawers provide smart storage without cluttering the space, maintaining the clean, calming aesthetic. The elegant bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a full-size bath and a high-tech Aqualisa Smart shower, offering both power and precision to help you unwind in style.

Outside

The outdoor space at Ella’s Loft is every bit as inviting as the interior. Elevated decking provides a private space to sit back with morning coffee or evening wine, surrounded by mature trees and peaceful views of the Kentish countryside. Enjoy alfresco dining at the outdoor table, warmed by the heater on crisp evenings, or simply bask in the afternoon sun.

And for the ultimate touch of luxury? The private hot tub, nestled on a raised platform, is your own little spa experience with a view. Whether it’s watching the sunset turn the sky golden, soaking under the stars, or starting your morning with a blissful dip, this feature adds an extra layer of indulgence to your stay.

Nearby

Situated within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Godmersham and the surrounding Kent Downs are rich in both natural splendour and cultural depth. Lovers of the outdoors will relish walking the ancient Pilgrim’s Way and the North Downs Way, trails that wind through historic landscapes and offer spectacular views at every turn.

The nearby village of Chilham is a hidden gem. Explore its medieval square, enjoy homemade scones in traditional tearooms, and stroll the grounds of Chilham Castle. Stop by Badgers Hill Farm and Cidery for local produce, glasshouse lunches, and a chance to meet the farm animals in the orchard.

A short drive away, Canterbury offers world-class history and architecture. Visit the awe-inspiring Canterbury Cathedral, walk cobbled lanes steeped in legend, or take a leisurely punt along the River Stour. The award-winning Canterbury Tales experience brings Chaucer’s stories to life with an immersive, multi-sensory journey through medieval England. For wildlife lovers, Howletts Wild Animal Park promises close encounters with gorillas, tigers, and more in beautiful parkland settings.
