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!)

Lovely place

A lovely place to stay, the vieuws are stunning, we were fortunate with the weather. Nice walks in the area, not to hard, and flat! No climbing! We will come back to explore Romney Marsh a bit more. And the shop is nirvana for knitters!

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!

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

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.

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

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 :)

Great stay in beautiful surroundings!

Lovely one night stay and a beautiful setting. Super cosy! We would have loved a later check out rather than 10am as we felt quite rushed to leave. We didn’t have anything to put our dirty linen in but everything else was just perfect!!

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!!!

Amazing value for the views and service provided!

We had the best weekend stay in The Lookerer shepherds hut and couldnt recommend it to enough people! The interior was decorated beautifully, making it feel very homely and cosy - even on a sweltering weekend in June! The surroundings are stunning and every detail had been thought of - down to the marshmallows for the fire. Thank you again for having us & we hope to be back soon!

Absolutely fabulous

Such a fantastic break, the Shepherds Hut is perfect, very comfortable and so much attention to detail, it is the perfect place to unwind and relax. Kristina was a fabulous host and I was privileged to be able to feed the baby lambs - such an incredible experience. We will definitely be booking again.

A very peaceful and relaxing break

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shepherds hut, firstly the location is perfect with far reaching views across the countryside. The shepherds hut was very comfortable and provided everything we needed with some thoughtful extra touches from the owner. Apart from simply unwinding with a good book and making use of the fire pit outside, the shepherds huts are in a good location to enjoy the coast and countryside, lots of walks and good pubs to stop at in the area. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.
