  Lucy was fantastic, she was friendly and obliging over text and helping me get in.

  The Hut itself is a beautiful thing. I was able to cook easily and one can make the space quite toasty of a chilly evening if you so wish. Its on a very pretty farm; I enjoyed seeing Velvet the pig in the morning from the bathroom window and loved the horse who would often approach the enclosure out of carefree curiosity. The Hut door faces the sunrise. As I was there to meditate and relax, I was delighted to discover the open to public spiritual gardens and yurt of "The Quiet View" only two minutes up the road (give it a google). I really enjoyed the country lane and woodland walks the surrounding area had to offer. I was surprised how quiet and left to my own devices I could get as its only 7 miles from a city. I popped into Canterbury for the Cathedral (and Tesco) and it was only 20 mins on the bus with a £2 card tap. That said, a breezy walk into next village Barham has quite a nice shop and Bishopsbourne the other way had a nice pub and cafe. About 150m up the road from the Hut was a blue plaque for the Sculptor Henry Moore who lived there in the 30s (for any fellow nosy art nerds out there!). A really gorgeous stay, I shall return.

  The shepherd’s hut was ideally placed in the corner of a field fenced off from the sheep, pig & horse that were close by - if you love farm animals as I do, this is the place for you.

  The hut is nicely fitted out & comfortable - obviously space is at a premium but you have everything you need including a little wood burning stove which makes it very cosy. The cooking facilities are quite adequate for one-pot meals or stir-fries - there are 2 rings which are super-fast. You won’t manage to do a roast as there is no oven but there are nearby pubs that do good meals. There is a toaster & a fridge & a separate bathroom with shower. Canterbury is a very short driving distance & is always a delight to visit. Happily back to its busy, buzzing self after Covid. A lovely place to stay - owners provided bread, milk & eggs - what more could you want for a lovely countryside break?

  A quiet and cosy home with beautiful scenery to top it all off.

  The property was clean, the bathroom and kitchen facilities basic but excellent quality - everything you could need for a little getaway to Kent. Perfect if you want to sightsee Kent, easy and quick drive to Dorset or Canterbury. It is such a charming property with its fireplace indoors and a campfire outside where you can stargaze or just enjoy the peace and quiet. Lucy and her family were great hosts, gifting us a few farming goods for breakfast, very responsive but also respected our space and left us to enjoy our holiday. It was great that the property was dog-friendly as well so we could bring our dog with us.

  We found the property, clean, comfortable and surrounded by peace and quiet.

  There was an abundance of nature with many types of birds and the lovely red squirrels. The owners had provided bird feeders just outside of the chalet which attracted the birds and squirrels, we spent a lot of time being entertained. The chalet was in a remote area away from light pollution which allowed spectacular views of the night sky. The chalet was fully equipped with every conceivable piece of equipment, books and dvd's. We were so impressed with The Springs, we are hoping to stay again in the future when we visit our family on the Isle of Wight.

  What a lovely find.

  The Springs was in a stunning position. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The wildlife was in a abundance with Red squirrels and an array of garden birds pheasants and the lovely barn owls who are nesting in the folly on the edge of the garden. The swimming pool was very welcome on the hottest day of the year. There was everything we needed in the springs the shower was great and always plenty of hot water. Justine the owner was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I would thoroughly recommend the springs you will not be disappointed.
