Absolutely amazing experience in a unique and private setting and very comfortable bed too. Breakfast provided was great and the shower was powerful and refreshing. Nice to get away from it all and enjoyed having just a radio and no TV but there was great WiFi if needed.

Lovely stay.

We spent 3 nights in The Shepards Hut which was a lovely experience. We meet Victoria and David who are both very welcoming. The Hut had everything we needs for our stay and was only 5 mins drive to the local town which had plenty of places to get food and drinks. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting to get away from the busy lives, which we had booked longer. Thank you Victoria and David Laura and Wayne

The shepherd's hut really gives you the experience of being outdoors such as privacy but with all the home comforts of a flushing toilet and hot shower.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft im Grünen in der Countryside für Ruhe und Entspannung, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten befinden sich in der Nähe. Besser ist es natüröich, ein Auto zu haben. Wir waren im Januar da und wir haben es sehr genossen. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück gesund und ausgewogen und englisch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus im Garten mit Aussicht ist sehr komfortabel. Danke für einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt und viele Hinweise, um die Gegend zu erkunden.

Such a peaceful place

Stayed in the Oak Room for one night - it has lovely views and the garden is beautiful. It is two rooms in the attic plus a private bathroom. There are low oak beams so take bumping you head as part of the charm and some narrow stairs.

Comfortable and well positioned

An over-all very enjoyable stay in a neatly private annex of the 17th Century main house. Be sure to ask for the garden cottages if you want more privacy. Service was friendly and breakfast a delight. Good spot for travelling to nearby castles and other historic sites,

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This place was more rustic than we had anticipated. We stayed in the attic room which was three flights up tiny stairs - not good for older folks like us or dragging luggage up. The bathroom was large, but on the second floor, so you had to manuver the windy steps down to the bathroom. When you drained the tub (no shower), there was some sort of pump that made quite a noise. We had to use a pitcher in the room to rinse our hair as the tub faucet was too close to the side of the tub to rinse your head under(there was no sprayer). The ceilings sloped a lot in the bedroom and it was difficult to stand without bumping your head. The sitting room across from the bedroom was the same, but had more space. The breakfast was great and the breakfast room and gardens were lovely. The owners were on vacation and had left a French girl in charge which made it more difficult to find the place since she did not know how to direct us. It is not very close to any towns.

Mind Your Head

This was a nice rural retreat in Kent. What I didn't expect was to be stuck up in some ones attic. I'm sure the barn conversion is absolutely lovely. The property is a very old cottage which means very small door ways and low beams. I would say it breaches health and safety. I knocked my head several times during the one night stay, fortunately not severely. I did have to bite my tongue to stop my from screaming profanities. Not what I expect of an over night stay. The bathroom didn't have shower, something I expect as standard. All else was fine.

Best destination for a relaxed time away

First of all the location and view is one of the best. Room was super comfy and nice and very tidy. We loved the privacy at the same time of all the necessary info. Hostess(Victoria) is very warm and helpful. We would love to visit again.

Peaceful Countryside Getaway

This B&B is very quaint and in rural and peaceful location. We arrived quite late due to traffic but Victoria was very understanding and kind. We had the Orchard Room which in the morning had a stunning view of the Orchard, the dew on the grass, the early mist and fog - beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, well cooked and as it was served in the convervatory you could continue to admire the green spaces, and take in the occasional chatter from the animals - rooster next door, horses and a dog but nothing annoyingly so, just very pleasant :-) Victoria is a very inviting host. The room has some nice touches, the shower is big enough for two and modern. The double bed is super comfy and very clean. There were some flapjacks as a welcome treat and also a basket of useful leaflets of things to do in the area and take - away menus. We chose Krishna (Indian restaurant) and I can't complain. There is also a handy book that gives you the B&B's recommendations and a wonderful guest book to share your thoughts and add yourself to the history at Wilderness. You can clearly see that we were not the only satisfied and pleased customers. I can't wait to go back but perhaps in the summer so I can appreciate the Orchard more. It's a great location to visit several sites in Kent, we chose to spend the day at Sissinghurst Castle - amazing break away! Thank you Victoria and also Hotels.Com
