Updown Farmhouse

Up, down, left, right: spy Updown Farmhouse from any angle and your gaze is sure to fall on something charming, witty or downright delicious. Owners Ruth and Oli (who also plays head chef) have imbued every nook with warmth and personality, such as playful Studio Lenca artworks, misshapen totem lamps and suede sofas so chunky you’ll have no choice but to kick off your shoes. Across the lawn, a crumbly former stable has been repurposed as the terrace restaurant, where Oli has been causing a stir with his inventive country cooking. So, Deal? Done, as far as we’re concerned.

Updown Farmhouse is a countryside retreat 10 minutes inland by car from Deal on the picturesque Kent coast.
