We stayed here while we were visiting the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. We arrived in the evening, after check-in time, so they left an envelope at the door with all the information to access our room. Everything was perfect and breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday mornings was amazing. We loved it.

Folkestone Inn is a wonderful B&B in a country setting and serves creative breakfasts - including fresh eggs from their own chickens! Toni and Scott are terrific hosts - very knowledgeable about the area and eager to point out things to do and places to see - giving tips about what's good or what might be better. Scott and Toni (both professional chefs) supplied a list of recommended area restaurants, as well. The other guests were from around the world and we loved getting to know them. The house was very clean with a rustic décor. All the best of a B&B vacation. Would definitely return if we visited the area again. One caution - there are steps to and inside the house.

Toni was an amazing host. The bed and breakfast is quiet and peaceful. Very clean. Breakfast each morning was delicious. Sitting on the porch in the evening listening to the birds was relaxing. Extremely close to entrance to the smoky mountains.

This was a beautiful property in a excellent country setting! I can’t speak highly enough about the phenomenal breakfast and the customer service. We will definitely be revisiting this B&B.

The Inn was very quaint and homey. Toni was very welcoming and the food was excellent! Our room was decorated very authentic, however, the room and the attached bath were very small. Loved the location as it was very quiet and had many spots to sit and enjoy nature, including the rooster, and it's just a few minutes from town. I highly recommend the Folkestone Inn.

An amazing and relaxing stay, as always, at the Folkestone Inn! This is our third time at the Inn. The cleanliness, grounds, and breakfast are the best attributes of this Quaint and beautiful inn! The owners are so kind and there are so many wonderful things to do just a couple of miles away. This Inn is within a few miles of the smoky mountains national forest and the great smoky mountain railway! The food is delicious in the rooms are precious!!

A lovely historic inn in a bucolic setting, rocking chairs on the porch, cows in the pasture, and chickens free ranging in the yard.
Breakfast was a joy with homemade sausages and bacon, and eggs from the chickens. Every breakfast was something new and delicious--a five star presentation.
I would love to return, but if you have mobility issues this is not the place to visit. The pathway to the inn was rocky
and uneven slate, many stairs ( if you get a room upstairs even more steps). no grab bars in the bathroom and a flimsy scatter rug that could be a fall hazard. If mobility is not an issue then this place gets high marks.

Room was cute and clean. Food was DELICIOUS!! Grounds were fun - creek and chickens running through property. Had me hooked at cookies out every night.

Nice house, quiet. Toni is very friendly and serves up an excellent breakfast. House is easy to find and has ample parking.
What didn't work for us was this is NOT an "accessible" facility. There are steep steps to the house and the claw foot tub, though pretty, was hard to use with no wall for balance.

Una estadía inolvidable!! Los desayunos son lo máximo! Despertar rodeado de montaña con el sonido de las gallinas y el olor a comida no tiene precio

We enjoyed our sleeping accommodations. The bed and pillows were very comfy! The property felt safe and secure. We requested vegan meal options and chef Scott didn’t disappoint! Not having televisions on site allowed us to enjoy the beautiful nature offered by the Great Smokey Mountains.

Love the chickens running around and the ducks in the stream. A surprise was a lack of a television onsite but board games, a library and horseshoes game outside can keep you busy. Close to Bryson City for retail therapy and the Smokey Mountain National Park at Deep Creek is in walking distance to explore. Great location for a country holiday!

I would highly recommend Folkestone Inn. Scott and his granddaughters were excellent hosts. Breakfasts were delicious. Location is ideal, close to everything yet quiet setting.

Everything was amazing about our first B&B stay! The morning breakfasts, meeting the owners & family, as well as the amenities were outstanding. We loved the game room and the peace & quiet this location offered. We even missed the morning rooster crowing once we returned home. It was a great stay, and we look forward to visiting again soon!

Staff were very nice and accommodating. The food was good but there were no choices. The room we had was not as was advertised and had no view and no easy access to outside.

Toni and Scott, the innkeepers, provide prodigious breakfasts, helpful information about local attractions and businesses, all in a friendly, comfortable manner. Our stay at Folkestone was extraordinary.
