About this property
Shepherds Hut' Littlebourne, Canterbury (hot tub)
Canterbury Lodges and Glamping
Located in the heart of the Kent countryside in the beautiful village of Littlebourne, only 4 miles from the historic city of Canterbury, we provide an ideal secluded base from which to enjoy a relaxing break any time of year.
Situated on our idyllic 3-acre glamping site shared with 2 log cabins and a bell tent (and resident pygmy goats and chickens!) it’s the perfect setting for a short holiday, romantic break or a well needed escape!
The hut caters for 2 people. An open plan living area has a double bed, a well-equipped kitchen containing electric hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, sink (cold water only), kettle, cafetiere, cooking utensils, indoor seating and dining area, flat screen TV . There is a spacious, private garden area with outdoor furniture, bbq, fire pit and spacious hot tub!
Shower and toilet facilities are located just across the way. Shower and toilet facilities for the shepherds hut are private and not shared. Wifi available but can be limited inside the hut due to the metal surround.
With excellent amenities close by including the local shop, large village green, outdoor play area, local village pub (all within a few minutes walk), stunning scenery leading to numerous beautiful walks and cycle routes, this cabin is ideal for a year-round escape.
Situated only 10 minutes from the historic city of Canterbury and on bus routes to beautiful coastal towns such as Whitstable, Broadstairs & Sandwich. Howletts zoo is a few hundred metres from the cabin (you can regularly hear the sounds from the lions, monkeys and elephants).

Easy to get to, just look out for a track off the main road as it's quite discreet. Friendly greet and helpful owner. Perfect for relaxing and lovely walks off the beaten track. Close to attractions although my trip was about being away from people! Ideal trip if you want to have some time out on your own and there is a shop just down the road . Would be happy to return xx
Will be re booking as soon as we can, amazingly clean, quiet and relaxing break. Great location and v easy to find along with great friendly helpful communication from Angela the host.
