General

Part of our Quirky Collection.

For something a bit different, this fun and quirky shepherds hut offers comfortable accommodation for up to two people. It’s located at Springwood Fishery on the Kent/Sussex border near the lovely market town of Wadhurst, with Ticehurst (local pub) just 2 ½ miles away.

Springwood Shepherd’s Hut has an open plan living and dining area, plus a kitchen with a gas hob, microwave, under-counter fridge, kettle and toaster. There’s a compact double bed space with overhead storage. Outside there is a decking area with seating, plus a fire pit overlooking the adjoining fields and woodland. This is a brilliant location for people who enjoy a spot of fishing. There are actually 4 fishing pools to choose from - Top Pool, Spring Pool, Long Pool and Beech Pool. Why not try your hand at catching Carp over 30lbs and Catfish weighing in excess of 60lbs. Free of charge fishing is included for all lodge guests.

Your surroundings provide you with plenty of rest and relaxation but if you wish to explore further afield the Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest is certainly worth a visit and is only a 20 minute drive from your accommodation. The Pinetum is open all year and has one of the most complete collection of conifers anywhere in the world. The forest is ideal for those who wish to be out in the fresh air and is suitable for walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers and runners. There is a lovely café on site for a spot of lunch. The spa Kent town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is also only 20 minutes away. Spend an afternoon strolling round the town admiring the beautiful architecture and visiting the boutique shops and cafes. Perhaps pick up some supplies for dinner and on return to your accommodation dine al fresco style out on your decking before grabbing some blankets to cosy round your fire pit.
