Hut with a view!!

My daughter and I had the most relaxing peaceful stay in the beautifully decorated Rumwolds hut. We were lucky enough to enjoy lamb cuddles on arrival before walking across the field to our home for the night. We spent the whole afternoon until dusk just sitting outside on the picnic bench drinking tea, chatting, sheep-watching, admiring the view & listening to the birds ! After dark we lit the log burner and kept it on low to see us through the chilly night, with lambs huddled against the fencing while their mums grazed nearby. The breakfast hamper produce was wonderful & after getting up early to help bottle feed the lambs, we still had time to cook up delicious sandwiches to eat outside with our last cuppa, then all too soon it was time to wave good bye. until next time .......there definitely will be a next time & we have promised ourselves to stay two nights! one word "PERFECTION"

Amazing, best birthday celebration ever!

We stayed at this amazing shepherds hut and had the perfect night away. The hut itself was so cosy, with all the amenities and cute little touches we could have asked for. The location was picturesque , relaxing and calming. The amazing night was topped off with the best birthday surprise of bottle feeding the baby lambs , which made it all the more exciting. The host was absolutely lovely and so kind. We will without a doubt be coming back!

Relaxing!

This is a great place to get away to. Wide open skies, sheep in the field and hens around the door all make it a great place to unwind. The huts are well kitted out, with many details thought of.

Mud!

Hi. Everything was brilliant apart from the lethal mud getter no to the hut. I appreciate it is a working farm but there needs to be some sort of path to the huts as the mud made it treacherous A small point on an otherwise great experience Thx S

Birthday/ Valentines weekend getaway!

I booked this lovely hut for my boyfriends birthday/ valentines weekend. The booking process was simple and easy. I was offered a breakfast box for an additional cost - which I would highly recommend! I also arranged for a valentines hamper to be in the hut on arrival, which didn't disappoint! The scones were amazing! On arrival the lovely host, Kristina, I believe her name was welcomed us to their home/ farm. She gave us our key and left us to make our way over to the hut and settle in. The hut was lovely, clean and spacious- everything we needed for our weekend away. The hut was decorated with red heart balloons and rose petals which was a lovely touch. Our breakfast box - consisted of bacon, eggs, sausages, bread , butter and milk was already in the fridge ready for the next morning. We enjoyed our cosy indoor log fire which kept our hut nice and toasty. The bed was very comfy and clean. The next morning, we made full use of our kitchen area which had everything equipped. It was lovely to cook, sit and enjoy breakfast with a beautiful view of the marshes and watching the sheep and farm dog roaming around nearby. We was able to check in 1 hours earlier and check out at 12 which gave us a nice slow start to our Sunday morning. The shower was lovely and warm with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and moisturiser all provided by the farm from their own sheep- which smelt lovely. We had a very relaxing, quiet and chilled weekend and will most definitely be returning! Everything is thought about perfectly designed to make your weekend and relaxing and stress free. Thank you again for a fabulous stay x

Perfect retreat in picturesque settings

The owners have thought very carefully about how your visit can be enhanced. Everything from the surroundings, to the hut itself is just perfect! Well equipped, cosy and I cannot wait to return. I especially loved the easy app guide detailing information you may need from local pubs to hiking trails. Booking is a must!

Perfect for a short break

Lovely quiet location in middle of sheep. Compact but beautifully appointed accommodation. Good quality welcome pack . Very handy to visit the Marshes ( we wanted to re-visit a lot of the stunning old Churches of the Romney Marsh) and about 30 mins from Dungeness. Kristina very friendly and helpful. The only niggle I would have was the arrival instructions said NOT to use the postcode but to use the road name. Our satnav didn't allow for that so we had to use the postcode and spent a lot of the journey quite anxious we would not end up in the right place. The postcode brought us to the property perfectly so I don't know why we were told not to use. Would be delighted to return again .

First experience in a shepherd's hut.

What an adventure!! Not only visiting more of East Sussex and Kent but staying in a Shepherd's Hut on a working farm. It was everything I expected and more. Total comfort with everything, almost, at arms length. Forget sleeping under canvas or in a caravan, this is the way to go!

Unique property in great location.

Rumwold is so characterful and a brilliant use of a small space. Comfortable bed, very well equipped with incredible views over the marsh. Beautiful sunsets. It is a great location for walking/cycling/great restaurants. Very peaceful at night with visits from the sheep and chickens during the day which was entertaining! A visit to the wool shop is essential.

Rumwold

We had a lovely short stay and wish it was longer. The huts are beautiful surroundings and within an easy driving distance of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway! The hut was spotlessly clean with lovely welcoming touches which made us feel at home. It was fun to watch the farm animals doing their thing - very entertaining!

Blissful stay at Rumwold hut

Not only was the hut very comfortable and clean, it was also full of unexpected, delightful details. The setting was very English and very lovely, with a gorgeous sunset to top of a perfect day in Kent. The sheep made wonderful companions. We left feeling blissful and relaxed. Thank you to Kristina for being so welcoming and helpful.

Relaxing

We have visited Romsey Marsh shepherds huts about 3 times. Quality of welcome and accommodation has remained excellent. It is a pleasure being with the sheep and lambs. It is truly a magical place with beautiful scenery unspoilt. Lovely to see the stars in a beautiful dark sky.

Unique

If like us you look for unique boutique accommodation that is quintessentially of its place this is for you. And don't worry, the sheep go to sleep too so you won't be kept awake by bleating!

Perfect stay

Rumwold is beautiful. Perfectly equipped with everything you need and very comfortable and cosy. Lovely peaceful location for forgetting your phone and going off grid with a good book for a few days. I loved the app which was sent out pre arrival with all the information you need and contactless check in and out was great. Have already rebooked for another stay.

Wonderful break with wonderful hosts

Really delightful accommodation in a wonderful, peaceful setting. Convenient location to explore East Kent's villages & coastline, and excellent links to motorways, making it very accessible. Our heartfelt thanks to Kristina and Paul for all the help they gave us when we encountered car problems on our first full day. We aim to return!

Truly special experience

Perfect balance between isolation and connection. Safe and secure yet intimate with nature in an organic way. Sheep are very chilled. I truly recommend staying at the huts, it will be unlike anything you have experienced before and definitely one you will not forget. Ideal for 2 and romantic!
