We really enjoyed our stay at The Gate House. It is in beautiful grounds, and quirky and comfortable inside. A great base to go out for walks from and explore the local area with our spaniel. Well equipped inside to have breakfast and dinners if you so choose. Our spaniel loved her walks at Folkestone Harbour, White Cliffs, lunch at the Marquis of Granby and stretching out on the floor in the dining room. The hosts are friendly and welcoming and have fantastic recommendations.

We had a lovely weekend at the Gate House with our dog. The House is very cosy, clean and well-equipped, set in a beautiful estate. A lovely countryside escape situated very close to Folkestone, which has beautiful beaches, cafes and pubs. Would highly recommend!

We stayed at The Gate House for 3 nights with our Golden Retriever. A charming and cosy place to stay with a sensational backdrop down the valley. In the grounds of a house further up the hill, we were spoilt with peace and quiet and just the odd occasional car going past down the lane a short distance away. You're allocated your own garden which is not enclosed but wasn't a problem for our dog. There is a BBQ outside, chairs, a table and a parasol. Parking for 2 cars at the front of the property.

The master bedroom, which was the only one we used was very quirky with beautiful beams and an amazing en-suite through glass doors so that light still came into the room. A fantastic bath with a recharge area for your toothbrush! Very handy! I couldn't find a hair dryer in either room.

There is also a downstairs shower room which has a rainfall shower head, so you get a good soaking.

The kitchen area was generally well equipped and functional with beautiful views out over the tennis court and valley beyond. I would have appreciated a small serrated knife and a larger serrated bread knife too. The cupboards were all built in and held a good range of crockery and oven items, etc.

The lounge and dining area worked well together and we had a few evenings in where we felt very much at home!

The local gastro pub 'The Marquis of Granby' had superb food, and we'd recommend it.

Overall, a great stay, would thoroughly recommend, unique and unusual, it's a delight to spend time at The Gate House. Many thanks to Toby for sharing his property.

Had a fabulous and very peaceful stay. Beds and linen were very comfortable and has a very well equipped kitchen. The owners were delightful and extremely helpful giving us plenty of ideas of what to do/see. Folkestone Harbour is definitely worth a visit and so is the local village Pub. The only issue we had was with the WiFi and TV (no terrestrial channels), but we weren't there to sit and watch TV and be on the Wifi!!!! Thank you very much for a really wonderful stay.

Really great spot, we were 3 adults and comfily accommodated in the gate house. Beds and linens were very great, and the place was clean and in a good location for local walks and exploring. Would very much recommend.

Gorgeous little house, easy to find near to the main road but felt a million miles away.
