Nestled in the picturesque region of Ashford, Kent, this accommodation offers a unique getaway experience with two open-plan shepherd's huts that can comfortably sleep four guests across two bedrooms. Set against the backdrop of the stunning Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the huts provide a serene retreat surrounded by sheep, with delightful views that enhance the rural charm of the area, especially during spring when lambs are present.
Each hut is thoughtfully designed to include a living area equipped with a wood-burning stove, a wooden folding table, and chairs for two, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. The kitchen comes with essential amenities such as a two-ring electric hob, fridge, and sink, making it convenient for guests to prepare meals. The sleeping area features a double bed with under-bed storage and double aspect windows that allow natural light to flow in, while the shower room includes an overhead shower, wash basin, and heated towel rail for added comfort.
Outside, guests can enjoy a private garden enclosed by a sheep-proof fence, featuring a seating area with wooden chairs and a fire pit/BBQ for evening gatherings. Each hut also provides private parking for two cars, and essential amenities such as towels, linen, bathrobes, and slippers are included. For added convenience, a starter supply of logs is provided for the wood-burning stove, with additional logs available for purchase. Guests can also request a locally sourced breakfast box for an extra fee, which includes eggs, bacon, and sausages, along with complimentary bread, butter, and milk.
While the huts offer a tranquil escape, it is important to note that due to the presence of surrounding sheep, dogs are not permitted on the property. Guests are encouraged to bring all-weather clothing for cooler evenings by the fire pit and wellies for potentially muddy fields. Additionally, a wooden outdoor table is available for al fresco dining during warmer weather. The location provides easy access to local attractions, including the Dymchurch Martello Tower and the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Light Railway, as well as recreational activities at Hythe Pool and Mercure Hythe Imperial Spa Naturel, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.
