Description from owner
Description
Explore the beautiful Weald of Kent for a romantic few days glamping in our comfortable old apple shed. Situated in over an acre of meadow, yet only 5 mins walk to the village.
The full size double bed is as comfortable as at home, the wood burning stove is warming and the atmosphere is romantic. The Apple Shed was built when this was a working apple orchard and lay unloved for many years. But just look at her now!
Converted using reclaimed, recycled and locally sourced materials wherever possible, she is designed to give minimal environmental impact.
Well equipped, (yes! a real loo, hot shower and pocket sprung bed!).
Well insulated and double glazed so warm and cosy as toast in winter.

“Great little hideaway”
A great place to get away from it all! Switch off from WiFi and really get back to Nature! Kate was lovely and we had a homemade cake on arrival. Will definitely be returning for longer next time!

“Great Birthday Present - A must for a quirky stay.”
