Little gem of a find in the Kent countryside. We stayed for two nights, you cant beat the view of the sun going down from the hot tub. Lovely lake to swim in, superb walks and local pub. Would rate highly if you want peace and quite and stunning views.

Absolutely lovely stay!

So peaceful and quiet and everything has been so well thought out. The bed was so comfy, and the addition of the electric heater in the bathroom was perfect; it made the hop over the to the toilet in the middle of the night bearable. It’s open year round so we’ll definitely be back when it’s colder and we can have the fire going! Wendy was absolutely lovely when we arrived and our daughter made a new friend in her wonderful dog.

Lovely quiet getaway

I took my son 13 and baby 15 months had such a lovely stay, the gut is small but had all you could possibly need. If I didn’t have to use the travel cot It would have given us way more room. Deck area is really big. I would definitely go back

A lovely getaway!

A perfect little rustic hut, warm and cosy. With a separate, modern wash room/toilet. Great jacuzzi and lots of garden space! It was the perfect getaway for me, my partner and our 4 year old son. Away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives, to somewhere peaceful and calm. The owners were very welcoming, certainly not overbearing and seemingly very happy to help if we needed anything. Would recommend to anyone. P.S We hope Jasper the pony liked his carrots and apples we gave him.

Rose Hut - Shepherds Hut with hot tub for 3

Rose Hut was great. As a family of 3 we were looking for cosy, views and especially for our 12 year old daughter a hot tub. The hut was clean and and had everything we needed i.e. a small fridge and microwave. We had extreme weather so the log burner was used. The shower room was clean and warm. Definitely would recommend and will come back in the future.

Anniversary Weekend

A wonderful weekend away from the busy life of kids & work to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. So peaceful & calm, the hot tub was great & the games table was a fun addition. The hut was small but big enough for 2, I would think it would be too cramped with anyone else as there isn’t anywhere to store clothing otherwise but was perfect for us. Plenty of food storage with an extra fridge which meant we could store bbq food easily for a relaxing evening on site. Overall a wonderful stay, would definitely return!

Absolute Bliss and tonic in amazing surroundings

Set in beautiful private land, with fantastic views of the countryside and swimming lake, very warm and high quality private bathroom and hut. Great Hot tub looking at the stars, great veranda. Electricity in the hut and shared communal fridge and freezer, as well as your own fridge and microwave. Host let us bring out own fire pit and lent us a toaster, as none in the hut. Very Romanic ( wont take the kids next time) Nigel the host very friendly and helpful. Sooooo relaxing, local pubs good and near to Canterbury and Maidstone, good for shopping. Loved this place, will return soon...Nice check out time of 11.00 am Comfy double bed. Bunk beds only suitable for children, which is made clear. Thank you

Mr

We had a lovely stay despite the weather on our first night with heavy rain. On arrival the key to the property was in the door as promised. Although the hut was small we were able to ensure we were made to feel at home. Was greeted by a birthday banner and a cold bottle of Prosecco in the fridge which was a nice touch. The hot tub was ready to use although it was in working order there was a few issues with the vent covers and one jet not working. Seemed as though it had been well used but still did the job. The bbq was very run down and also looked like it had been well used. The decking lights unfortunately were not working which made it very hard to see at night when using the hot tub and outside area even though there was a small outside light. Over all a nice 2 night stay for my birthday but just the few small things would have made it even better.

Amazing location

The hut is simply magical and can be enjoyed thoroughly even by a family of four with two children (9, 11). It is fully equipped, it has all sorts of clever features to create new spaces and storage but it is also cosy and welcoming. The table tennis room was an extra special feature we did not expect and that made a difference on stormy days. The hosts were very responsive to all our queries being very friendly and helpful. The area is secluded, the hot tub can be enjoyed in full privacy and most destinations can be reached within a 30-min drive. We will definitely be back to brave the open swimming in the lake… in July!
