Escape to this charming, hand-built shepherd’s hut on a small countryside site that houses two other similar retreats. It provides all the comfort you could need for a relaxing break for two amongst the splendid Kent countryside. This scenic spot offers a haven for keen outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, surrounded by woodland and rolling countryside. The charming local village of Laddingford is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, and is home to some friendly local pubs and restaurants. Venture to the historic village of Yalding, 1.5 miles away, to discover its iconic bridges and join either the Greensand Way or the Medway Valley Walk, offering scenic routes along the rivers and through the village. The market towns of Maidstone and Tonbridge, brimming with independent shops and some fabulous eateries, can both be reached within 9.5 miles.

Light and airy, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner offers creature comforts with contemporary country cottage-style design. A sunny colour palette perfectly reflects your surrounding scenery. Rustle up a hearty breakfast or a perfect picnic in the kitchen before gathering around the charming table to plan your next adventure. Comfy armchairs invite tired travellers to sit back and enjoy picturesque views through the picture windows. On a fine evening, leave open the front door to the decked veranda to fill the shepherd’s hut with fresh air. When it’s time to retire, the adjoining double bedroom promises a peaceful rest, sharing the same serene ambience as the rest of this lovely bolthole. The contemporary en-suite shower room provides everything you need to begin your next expedition feeling refreshed.

Soak up the peace of the countryside by dining alfresco on the wonderful, decked veranda, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee or a sundowner amongst your serene setting. The shared garden and BBQ area provide an additional relaxing space to unwind whilst overlooking the tranquil pond and listening to the sounds of the river nearby. There is private parking available for one car.
