    It was amazing, Paula has thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. We didn't really go out just stayed around the hut and relaxed in the sun. It was nice that no one disturbed us, except Dotty the dog who would come and say hello...

Mountbatten and Buckhurst are our two unique spacious luxury Shepherds Huts set in 10 acres of Kent countryside near Port Lympne Safari Park Includes breakfast hamper with produce such as bread, butter (picked on site where possible), fruit, orange juice, milk, croissants, pain au chocolat, jam, honey & granola Lots of local walks nearby; within 2 miles of at least 5 country pubs; only 4 miles from the historic Cinque Port seaside town of Hythe Under an hour from London and the continent; 4 miles from the M20 and Channel Tunnel.
We leave guest to their own devices to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Kent Countryside, with contact-free check-in and check-out, although are always contactable, if required. We have a pet Labrador called Dotty, who is very friendly, but lively and likes to meet guests. Please let us know, if any of your party is afraid of or doesn’t like dogs and we will make sure she doesn’t wander over to the Huts during your stay.
Places to eat and drink... While the Shepherd's Huts have full and comprehensive provisions for guests to cater for themselves, we are pleased to recommend some of the best (and our favourite) places to eat and drink locally - both in the local villages, within a mile or so from the Shepherd's Hut, or in our local towns of Hythe, Folkestone and Ashford. There are dozens of excellent pubs and restaurants in our locals villages and towns. Our welcome pack lists our recommendations, along with providing directions, contact numbers and websites.

These include amongst others: Port Lympme Safari Park (Approx 3 miles away) Hythe (Approx 4 miles away) Ancient Cinque Port, coastal/seaside town with medieval high street, the famous Royal Military Canal and the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway narrow gauge heritage steam train line to Dymchurch, New Romney and Dungeness Tenterden (Approx 15 miles away) Medieval High Street with art, craft and antiques shops, market and the Old Dairy Brewery in the Town Centre along with a standard gauge heritage steam railway with trains to Northiam and Bodiam (including Bodiam Castle).
