We had a great short-stay which included a walk round the farm and trips to Tunbridge Wells and Lee Miller's house in East Sussex. The facilities and the design of the hut were perfect. For privacy the, site was also screened off from the rest of the farm. We also met John the farmer who was very helpful.

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay in this beautifully furnished shepherd's hut. The location was ideal, with a wonderful view out across meadows and woodland. On the evening we were there, we saw a Virgin hot air balloon drifting slowly by. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom, although compact as you would expect, had everything you needed. The kitchen was also well-equipped and everything was spotlessly clean. We had excellent personal communication with the owner leading up to our arrival. We would thoroughly recommend this excellent shepherd's hut.
