About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Stay in our 2 berth shepherds hut situated on the established and highly recommended Cedar Gables Campsite, with over 45 years in the hospitality sector. Perfectly located to explore the Kent/East Sussex border with a footpath taking you directly to Bewl Water.
Facilities include indoor kitchenette, full outdoor kitchen, fire pit/BBQ, internet, private shower and flushing toilet. All located on a massive 170 square metre private and fenced pitch.
Cedar Gables Campsite is located between the idyllic villages of Lamberhurst and Flimwell, and situated alongside a footpath to Bewl Water reservoir. Scotney Castle and Bedgebury Forest are both within 2 miles.
The shepherds hut is located on a private and fenced 170m2 pitch. It is set facing the setting sun, with plenty of outdoor space for cooking and relaxing. High hedges to the back and side of the hut keep you secluded from the elements. To the front of the hut is our vegetable garden, and to the right is our chicken field (currently home to 3 very spoiled hens).
Access to the shepherds hut is granted via private gate, where you will then walk up your garden path, through French doors. As you enter the hut, you will see the kitchenette in front of you, the king bed to your right, and toilet and shower to your left. The hut is fully heated and insulated, perfect for cosy winter evenings.
The kitchenette is provided for you to make hot drinks and snacks, and there is a fridge and freezer to keep your supplies cold. Large meals can be made in the fully equipped outside kitchen. The outside kitchen features an electric hob, electric grill, kettle, toaster, microwave and sink. There is also a dining table in the outside kitchen to sit and eat should you wish.
Between the outside kitchen and the hut, you will find the firepit and BBQ area, where you can sit back in the provided deckchairs and watch the sunset. The perfect place to enjoy some smores and a drink.
Opposite the hut, you will find a grass area where you could enjoy a game of badminton, sit down for a picnic, or just doze off in the sunshine.
Provided in the hut for your convenience will be tea and coffee, sugar, and milk. You will also find bedding, towels, a hair dryer, soaps, washing up liquid, cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. In the outside kitchen, you will find pots and pans, and cooking utensils. Guest access Parking is available next to the shepherds hut, but if you have a large vehicle, or the conditions are wet, we may need to park you just outside the fenced area. Other things to note The shepherds hut is located in a private pitch. Part of the private pitch is also the location of our vegetable garden, so there my be occasions when we need to tend to our garden. We will always attempt to do this at times that do not disturb you.

A perfect weekend escape pad. Superbly cosy shepherds hut. Absolutely loved the outside kitchen… even though it rained relentlessly on the night of our stay the kitchen and outdoor dining was such fun. Kitchen kit was plentiful and well thought out.. shame it wasn’t fire pit weather! However, we had the best time and look forward to returning before too long.. thank you for a great weekend stay.

There was a slight mix up at the beginning of our trip - (The owners had not received confirmation of our booking until we arrived so they were not aware of any visitors enroute to them until we phoned when we were 5 minutes away!)
However, the owners were extremely apologetic and very friendly and welcoming, they even gave us a bottle of prosecco for any inconvenience.
The hut had been cleaned after the previous visitors so it wasn't long before we were settled. The hut had a really cosy feeling to it, extremely clean and warm considering how cold it was outside too!
The owners were very helpful and able to offer suggestions of places to eat nearby which was incredibly helpful.
Overall our stay was great, owners are really lovely and the hut was comfortable.
The only negative we found was the dim lighting.
However, this didn't take away from what was a lovely little getaway
Our trip to the Shepherds Hut was nothing short of idyllic! Our host Jay was so helpful and kind, even going so far as to give us a lift to Tunbridge Wells when our pre-booked taxi didn't show up. The outdoor kitchen was so easy to use, and made an al fresco breakfast very lovely. We took full advantage of the firepit - logs and kindling provided for us - as well as the lovely walks nearby. I would recommend to anyone looking to get away for a bit of peace and beauty!
