About Ellas Loft

Ella's Loft is a truly romantic and idyllic holiday lodge with a hot tub located in the picturesque churchyard of Kent Downs. This fabulous one-bedroom retreat has been beautifully converted from a traditional cart barn and offers the perfect getaway for couples looking to explore the ancient and historic region of Kent.

Located in the charming village of Godmersham, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is just a stone's throw away from the village of Chilham and the historic city of Canterbury. The location makes it the ideal base for exploring this beautiful area and the nearby Pilgrim's Way provides the perfect starting point for a range of outdoor activities and excursions.

As you pull into the off-road parking space, you will immediately be struck by the peaceful and tranquil surroundings at Ella's Loft. Make your way up the decking stairs, past the lovely outdoor furniture and into the loft to be welcomed into the open-plan living space.

The layout of the loft is neat and well-designed, offering everything you need for a relaxing self-catered break. The comfortable sofa set faces the TV, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space. The color scheme is bright and inviting, with a compact and well-equipped kitchen space including an electric oven and hob, a fridge, and an amazing dishwasher built into the wall to conserve space.

 

 Ella's Loft features some great touches too! The winged dining table with folding chairs offers a clever space to enjoy a meal for two, or head outside and take advantage of your own private decking space with some alfresco dining, keeping warm in the evening with the outdoor heater.

The loft also features a hot tub placed on raised decking, where you can admire the lovely countryside setting as the warm waters bubble.

Back inside, you will find a beautiful bathroom, complete with an Aqualisa Smart shower over the large bath, providing the ultimate in relaxation and comfort. The lovely bedroom is home to a king-size bed and features more innovative storage, with drawers for your belongings built into the wall, as well as pretty bedding and furnishings.

The charming village of Godmersham, resting in the heart of the Kent Downs, has connections to one of England's favorite novelists, Jane Austen, who visited the village often thanks to her brother Edward who lived at Godmersham Park. It's said that she got inspiration for her novels Emma, Pride & Prejudice and Mansfield Park here.

In summary, Ella's Loft is the perfect holiday destination for couples looking for a romantic and idyllic getaway in the heart of Kent's countryside. With its beautiful conversion, well-designed layout, and convenient location, it offers the ultimate in relaxation and comfort. Make your way to Godmersham and experience all that this charming village and the surrounding area has to offer.

Ellas Loft Reviews

John - Oct 2023
Great place to stayVery quietVery pleased with our weekend stayHot tub very nice
Jill - Oct 2023
My daughter and I had a fantastic few days at Ella's loft. The owners where friendly and welcoming and the loft is a lovely little space. The loft had everything we needed to self cater and was warm and comfortable. Yes its small but I would say perfectly formed and plenty of space for the two of us. Its a lovely peaceful location but well sited for Canterbury and the coast. The hot tub is a lovely addition and being undercover means it can be used in all weathers. I'm really looking forward to visiting again in the future.
tin - Sep 2023
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ella's Loft. Very comfortable accommodation and fab hot tub. Easy access to Kent's many attractions.World definitely recommend to others.
Amy - Aug 2023
I think overall Ellas loft is a great place to stay and I enjoyed my week away. The bed was very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. The homemade muffins were a nice touch. The hot tub was one of the best Ive used. Definitely the highlight of my week. However its clear that the photos advertised were taken when the place was new. In my opinion it could do with a spruce up. Cracks in the bathroom floor, plaster coming off of the walls. It was pointed out to me that the blind in the bedroom was broken and being held down by wire, surely this is something that can easily be replaced? The WiFi didnt work at all during my stay, I reported it and was told the router had been reset but it still didnt work. I had to use my own mobile data to watch the tv. I was only provided with one toilet roll and had to ask for more when that ran out mid stay. I dont think this is something guests should have to ask for. I dont like to leave negative feedback but there are just a few things that were missing for me to make this a five star stay.
Kendell - Jul 2023
Such a lovely little get away, would highly recommend! The owners are lovely and supplied cute homemade muffins, rolls, bacon & eggs! Would highly recommend
Gail - Jul 2023
Lovely little place to stay, welcome pack was so kind, and the home made cherry muffins topped it off! But having some milk, eggs, bacon, tea, coffee, sugar so you don't need to worry when you first arrive is a great touch. Lovely people, not intrusive, but if you need anything ate really helpful. Place is small but everything is a nice touch, hot tub is wonderful, peaceful location and so easy to get to different places. Highly recommended
ette - Jun 2023

Heather - Apr 2023
Such a lovely homely feel when you arrive. so relaxing and the hot tub is a bonus. Very well equipped with kitchen items and a lovely welcome package with home made scones which was amazing, jam, cream , bacon, eggs, bread, butter and some milk. The owners was lovely and helpful too.
Ella - Feb 2023
We really enjoyed our stay at Ellas loft! It is great has been done with the space. We were also very grateful for the homemade scones and welcome package and the hot tub was a lovely way to end each day. We will definitely be back, thank you!
Melanie - Feb 2023
Spent a lovely 4 nights at Ellas loft. Lovely warm welcome from Steve and Ralf which included home made scones, butter, cream and jam which were delicious. Also included in welcome pack was bacon, bread, eggs, tea, coffee, milk and sugar. Ellas loft maybe small but the facilities are perfect and included everything we needed for a wonderfully comfortable stay. As for the hot tub, it was the icing on the cake and best one weve ever been in. Perfect location for getting out and about during the day. Im certain we will return.
Rob - Jan 2023
Was met by Steve and Shelia who are so kind and showed me around on my arrival and are available should you need anything! The welcome package is such a nice touch particularly the homemade cakes!! The place itself is warm and cosy and found it a great location to explore Kent! Would highly recommend and hopefully be back one day in the future!
Paul - Oct 2022
Enjoyed a brilliant week away in Ella's Loft. Cosy well appointed conversion. Loads of space for 2. Great facilities and large hot tub. Remote location, but with great access to major roads and the whole of Kent. Only issue would be the toaster that needed to be held down to work so petty so how good is the rest of it!
Steven - Oct 2022
Unique and wonderful experience at 'Ella's Loft'. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome by Steve the owner. The welcome pack of locally produced milk, butter, scones, eggs, and bacon is such a nice gesture. Great location allowing us to explore Broadstairs, Faversham and Chillham. Lovely and picturesque part of the UK. A hot tub, wood burner on the decking makes for a relaxing stay. As others have referenced, the property is styled and designed in a specific way. Thats what makes it so special and unique. Lovely stay and a real recharge of the batteries Thanks Steve and Shelia.
Rhea - Sep 2022
Wonderful loft. Hosts are very helpful and friendly. Loved the hot tub, and they even managed to find us some playing cards.
Anna-marie - Aug 2022
Absolutely lovely place, and Steve and Sheila are so friendly and caring. I had the best time and highly recommend to everyone! Also Ralph is the best and I miss him lots.
Aidan - Jul 2022
A lovely relaxing week in a quiet area. Lovely scenic walks and bike riding close to cottage and only a short drive to 3 nice local friendly pubs which serve food too. 3040 mins drive to most Kent beach areas on North and East coasts and lots of things to visit and make a full day of it. Cottage is cosy and quiet at night and the Hottub is amazing, like having a warm bath and getting massaged at the same time with calming lights and a glass of wine, a perfect end to a busy day. The hosts are really friendly and left some nice goodies on arrival. Loved the fruit muffins. Thank you both Steve and Sheila.
Helen - Jul 2022
We had a lovely week and really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub . The hosts were very warm and gave us a coffee maker as soon as we asked for one . Busy week visiting family and touring around .
