A must stay!

We’re massive fans of four in the bed and this stay did not disappoint. The location is superb and tranquil with pubs close by for dining. We stayed in the lookerer and this shepherd hut had everything you’ll need! We made the most of the amenities provided and had one of the best night’s sleep we’ve had when staying away from home. The host was accommodating with late check out, checking in information and even provided us with the opportunity to get closer to the lambs.

Perfect place for some R&R

Really lovely location and set-up for a couple of days R&R away from the hustle and bustle. (Just a note if you're planning to bring food/drinks, the fridge is teeny-tiny!)

A great countryside stay!

We had a lovely weekend staying at Romney Marsh Shepherd Hut. Seeing sheep and chickens wandering around the field was a treat! The breakfast and bbq boxes were delicious, and we were able to cook our dinners over the firepit. We also enjoyed a visit to a nearby winery. Would highly recommend!

Place for a perfect time off

We enjoyed every second in our lovely shepherd‘s hut. We loved being in the middle of the flock of sheep which we found extremely calming and relaxing. The hut is wonderfully decorated and eqipped with everything you might need. And a good starting point for hikes. A great time off!

Excellent customer service, comfortable and romantic get away, true relax and offline experience.

I have experienced the most wonderful stay, the hosts went above and beyond to help us get comfortable, we got helped with any request we had and just felt more than taken care of, even more than if we were staying with family! The location is relaxing and calming, romantic and offline totally. We didn’t want to leave! We had the breakfast and bbq package and there was so much food that we had plenty to eat! I am gluten free/coeliac and felt fully catered for. I appreciated all the attention to detail and consistent assistance throughout the stay. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Amazing stay

What an amazing stay very cosy and welcoming, everything you need is provided. I stayed for one night with my fiancé but could have been there for longer it feels so like home, the bbq/fire makes this place even more special to be outdoors, lenny the sheep is very friendly but the only one who likes any kind of attention the other sheep keep their distance, the chickens joined us in the morning what an unforgettable Experience we will be returning 100% , we also checked out the Christmas market recommended from the owner and it was great for something to do the following day with lots of handmade stuff to buy

A delightful night in Lookerer

This was a charming shepherd's hut in the beautiful Kent countryside. The Hut was thoughtfully decorated with everything you need for a luxury stay. The bed was very comfortable. We ordered the BBQ pack and this was great value. We would definitely recommend

Wonderful!

A wonderful base from which to relax, restore and explore. Very well appointed and full of thoughtful details - everything you might possibly need. Any establishment that provides a teapot for their guests is truly going the extra mile. Thank you so much - I'm looking forward to a return visit already!!!

Lived up to it's description

We loved our one-night stay in the Lookerer. It was everything I hoped it would be. Space is obviously at a premium and as an older couple (mid 70's) we don't travel lightly, but we managed to cope with a small but carefully though out space. The bed was particularly comfortable, and the shower room/toilet was a revelation (I never imagined you would get such a good shower in a Shepherd's hut). We had the promised sheep all around us, and as each side of the hut has a window we really did feel we were right in the midst of them. Lovely open countryside with "big skies". Arrival information and support was excellent.

Great weekend

We rented the 2 huts that are close together yet retain perfect privacy. We had a great weekend enjoying glorious sunshine and torrential rain. How nice to be so warm and snug and listen to that rain! There was room to enjoy supper together in one hut and then traipse home the 15 steps to our own abode. Stunning views, gorgeous sheep and the sea nearby. Perfection. Thank you.

Great Place

Great place right in the middle of a field fall off sheep(although they cleared of next day and were seen only in the distance) the new born lambs were in barn and you could feed them plus Larry the lamb was very vocal when you went near and wanted moof bottle.The sheperds hut very good every thing you would need and more plus the staff couldn't have been more helpful.Plenty to do round about although I had trouble contacingt the Jeep safari people they didn't reply when I tried to contact them(twice). All in all a great little break!!

Little slice of heaven

We had the most amazing stay at the lookerer hut, we wish we had stayed longer than one night to fully make the most of it. Being surrounded by sheep was so peaceful and having the lit path to the hut was perfect for the dark night. The hut is spacious and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The little Christmas touches also made it more magical. The log burner kept the hut warm for hours but having the additional little heater was perfect. The bathroom was well heated too with the towel rail and use of the robes made the whole experience more comfortable. Having tea and coffee, milk, jam and marshmallows was a fantastic addition and the biscuits were heavenly!! The hut was spotlessly clean and a complete magical haven. We would love to come back and stay in spring time to enjoy the sheep and lambs!

Cozy, conscious care! We can’t wait to return.

We arrived by taxi from Ashford Intl station after a speedy hop from London, no trouble at all to reach this tranquil destination. With an entire app of information sent earlier we were fully prepared and so excited to see everything this beautiful place had to offer. The Hut is so thoughtfully accommodated that we wanted for nothing at all - we were greeted by local treats and enjoyed beautifully scented, luxurious showers straight into fluffy bathrobes (jet lag was no match!) A sunset walk among the sheep (and a sweet visit from the littlest lamb!) brought us fully back to life after a long day of travel from the US and at night, rain lulled us to a very comfortable sleep. The temperatures in the Hut were always pleasant and we loved to feel the breezes and soft sunlight through the many windows - never claustrophobic in such a well-thought abode. We rented bikes to trot down to Dymchurch and had a lovely day of it. Do not miss out on the local breakfast box - what could be better than the freshest farm eggs with your local coffee? The host is so very thoughtful and kind. We were sad to leave - this retreat recharged us fully, and we now count ourselves lucky to have seen this beautiful corner of the world! Our sincere thanks. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, cozy experience free of complications and full of charm, we can highly recommend this delightful experience.

Perfect!

I was astonished by our little Shepherds Hut. Absolutely everything had been provided. Just when you thought you’d found something it didn’t have there it was. I said oh shame no wooden board for cheese, then found it. Then thought, oops no heatproof glove for the woodburner, and it was hanging up. Honestly it was so well equipped, even marshmallows, and a Nespresso machine!!! The hut was toastie warm and a lovely break away from TV and telephones. I took some battery operated candles which looked amazing and the outdoor fire pit provided a lovely ambience. We played cards, drank wine (a bottle provided also) and listened to music, we had taken a speaker but there was a radio I spotted on the shelf. I must admit the weather wasn’t kind to us and I felt bad that the sheep were out getting wet (obviously not a country girl). But it was lovely that they were around, initially they kept their distance, but after a while starting to come closer. It was just perfect and I will definitely return. We had wanted to star gaze but unfortunately the clouds were too low, an excuse to return . The hut was spotless and the shower was incredible, not the power you would associate with a Shepherds Hut!! If there was one thing missing that would be good weather, but that is beyond anyone’s control. Otherwise an ideal get away for some peace and quiet, and opportunity to read and reflect

Lovely weekend stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay in the Lookerer hut last weekend. The hut was equipped with everything you could need and it was immaculate! The location was great, with the beach just a short drive away. It was also lovely having friendly sheep neighbours! We would definitely visit again :)
