## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### If you go into the woods today... Off-grid yet comfy, warm and luxurious

Immerse yourself in nature with all the luxuries! Our shepherd's hut is set in ancient bluebell woods with a resident owl, badger set, and visiting wildlife. It's off-grid yet guests will benefit from an outdoor bath / hot tub with instant hot water, indoors a hot shower, composting toilet, kitchen, super cosy wood burner stove indoors (training will be provided). There is one principal double bed (converts into a dining area for 4) and a smaller bunk above (suitable for 2 very excited smaller kids).You have private use of the shepherd's hut and facilities attached to it ie the hot tub and fire pit.  
  
The nearest pub the Rose and Crown in Stelling Minnis is a 30 min (2 mile) walk along country paths (although please be careful not to get lost on the way back if it is dark - use GPS on your phone - or - speak nicely to the landlady (Jackie) and she may arrange for someone to drive you back!  
  
Staying in the shepherd's hut will immerse you in nature as you will be off-grid and in the middle of an ancient bluebell woods. The space accommodates 2 adults easily and a bunk above can sleep an additional relatively small 2 children. The place is not suitable for 4 adults. We are 12 miles from Folkestone and 6 miles from Canterbury.
