We spent a perfect NYE here. The hut was clean, well maintained and we had everything we needed for a peaceful hot tub weekend away. Hosts were friendly and helpful and we would definitely come back. I've already recommended it to a friend who has booked straight away.

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.

Gemma, thank you for your kind review, glad you enjoyed your peaceful stay in Rose Hut with its beautiful surroundings and views, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future, Nigel and Wendy
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.

We had a lovely weekend, we stayed in The Shepard’s hut. It was clean and had everything we needed just took our food and drink. It’s great if you are wanting peace and privacy. The booking was simple and so was the check in and check out. We will definitely be back! Thank you Wendy and Nigel.
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

Lovely get away to the sheppards hut. Very peaceful location nothing around you. Was clean inside but I always take a cloth and give things a wipe over again since covid times. Small space has been used wisely it was very cosy.

The property was smaller than looked on photos but it had plenty of cupboared storage ,took a little while to find our bathroom ,bit when i did it was a wow,loverly and warm ,clean and loverly big towels.i would of loved a booklet to read rather than keep going back into my emails on arrival to find instuctions .a very nice place for peace and quiet and good hosts when needed and the hot tub on xmas day i loved .yes i would return again as would love to see the place in full bloom in the summer months .
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 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.
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!
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

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.
It was a lovely stay would stay again when the log burner gets going it’s lovely and warm enjoyed ourselves very much lovely it’s quite location for a get away for people who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of city would rent again would recommend
Fantastic location, beautiful surroundings. We stayed in the rose hut which was exactly as described, great use of a small space, hot tub looking over the lake was a lovely addition. An amazing relaxing weekend, just what was needed
Lovely and quiet location with some
Beautiful woodland walks straight out of the farm.

Thanks you for your kind review, it was a pleasure to have you stay and so glad you enjoyed Rose Hut and its wonderful location and surroundings, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future, Nigel and Wendy
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!

I think this is an excellent place to stay, the location is perfect, very quiet, outstanding views and it has everything you need, it’s very cosy, the lake is directly in front of it and the hot tub is also great, the hosts were very helpful and made us feel very at home, I highly recommend it and we also looked at their other accommodation in the hedgehog hall which we want to try next time
