Three handbuilt shepherd's huts hidden in ancient woodland. No wifi, no rush — just wood-smoke, a private hot tub steaming under the trees, and a sky full of stars.
We're a family who fell for a quiet acre of Kentish woodland and spent two winters building three huts in it — timber by timber, by ourselves.
Each one is off-grid and intimate: a proper wood-burner, candlelight, sheepskins, and a deck that opens onto nothing but oak, hazel and birdsong. Leave the phone in a drawer. We promise you won't miss it.
When the sun drops, the hut lights up like a lantern. Sink into the wood-fired hot tub, feed the firepit, wrap up in sheepskins and watch the stars come out over the canopy. This is the bit you'll still be talking about months later.
Honest, transparent pricing — the rate you see is the rate you pay. Two-night minimum stay across the year.
Our original hut and the one that started it all. A snug double, a glowing wood-burner and a little deck that catches the morning sun through the trees.
The romantic one. Your own wood-fired hot tub steaming under the canopy, a firepit on the deck, and a four-legged friend welcome by the stove. Pure off-grid escape.
Room to roam for the whole brood. A double plus a cosy bunk nook, festoon-lit decking and space for the kids (and dog) to run wild between the trees till bedtime.
All stays include firewood, hot-tub wood & a welcome basket. 2-night minimum.
Skip Airbnb and Booking.com and you skip their 15–20% commission — so the same hut costs you less, and you're talking to the family who built it, not a faceless platform.
Need a late check-out? A travel cot? A recommendation for the best pub walk? Just ask us. No middleman, no marked-up fees, no call centre.
✦ You keep the 15–20% the platforms would have takenYou could happily never leave the hut — but the Weald of Kent rewards a wander. Here's what's on the doorstep.
Step straight from your deck into miles of ancient bluebell woodland and rolling Wealden footpaths.
Marshmallows, a bottle of something local and the slow crackle of the fire. The original off-grid entertainment.
No light pollution, no screens. On a clear night the Milky Way arcs right over the canopy.
Three proper country pubs within a short stroll or drive, award-winning Kentish vineyards for a lazy tasting, and trails where the dog can run free all day. We'll point you to our favourites.
"We came for two nights and immediately wished we'd booked the week. The hot tub under the stars is something else entirely."
"No wifi sounded terrifying and turned out to be the whole point. The kids built dens, we read actual books. Bliss."
"Booked direct, saved a packet, and the owners couldn't have been warmer. Our dog Biscuit has already requested a return trip."
Pick your dates and we'll come straight back to you — direct rate, no platform fees, no fuss.
Tucked down a quiet lane near Cranbrook — close enough for everything, far enough to feel completely away from it all.
Wood-smoke, starlight and not a single notification. Booked direct, the way it should be.
