    It was amazing, Paula has thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable. We didn't really go out just stayed around the hut and relaxed in the sun. It was nice that no one disturbed us, except Dotty the dog who would come and say hello...

Places to eat and drink... While the Shepherd's Huts have full and comprehensive provisions for guests to cater for themselves, we are pleased to recommend some of the best (and our favourite) places to eat and drink locally - both in the local villages, within a mile or so from the Shepherd's Hut, or in our local towns of Hythe, Folkestone and Ashford. There are dozens of excellent pubs and restaurants in our locals villages and towns. Our welcome pack lists our recommendations, along with providing directions, contact numbers and websites.
