Weekend Trip to Little Fleece at Folly Farm

Could not recommend anymore. Stay, facilities, everything was perfect. Everything from the moment we arrived, to leaving. Special thanks to the hosts, as they made our stay, extremely memorable, going the extra mile with everything, we will definitely be going back

Weekend Trip to Hobby Farm

Had a beautiful stay. The hut was clean and well equipped. The shower was a bit lacking but better than nowt. I particularly loved that the hut was enclosed in its own paddock so my dog was contained and I could relax. The bed was comfortable and I slept like a log. Had a visit from a peacock as the sun went down each evening, how cool!

Weekend Trip to The Big Green Shepherds Hut

Very nice spot! Slept well in a very comfy bed! Would have preferred an outside toilet to be honest but we still had a great time. Thanks!

A peaceful area to sit and enjoy the sunrise and set in the land around you.

Weekend Trip to Hendred Farm Huts

Beautiful setting, beautiful shepherds hut! Such a comfy bed and only a few minutes walk to a lovely pub with delicious food. The views are stunning and the shepherds hut is beautifully furnished. Wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend!

3 nights at Cholderton Estate, near Stonehenge

We came for a family birthday getaway at the end of Feb. The hut is private but there is a two person hut reasonably nearby. The Shephards hut has everything you need outside and in, regardless of weather. We had moments eating out in the sun, then a brief hail shower and rainbow in the hot tub. One night was so clear we spent the evening star gazing from the hot tub. There is a farm and wild bird sanctuary nearby so an abundance of wild life throughout the day. Kites, peacocks, buzzards, peasants, deer etc. We did several local walks but the best for the kids was the farm > wood walk, which had a hidden wood swing too. The hosts were quick to help when we needed it and the location was very picturesque. It was a perfect birthday escape. We'd love to come back and see it in the summer!

3 nights at Quaint Farm in a National Park

Gorgeous shepherds hut in a beautiful location! Everything was perfect. The hut was immaculate, super cozy and really comfortable and they provided everything you could need, plus some really special touches like the eggs and biscuits. I cannot praise it enough. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

The farm was very easy to get to, and Donna and her husband were extremely communicative and welcoming. The cabin itself was an utter delight and more than I would've expected, both in terms of amenities available, and the quality therein. Very easy to both cook on site and enjoy the farm itself, and to head out into the countryside. Plus the cows were such a special treat to see!

Property and farm was lovely; position and nearby villages were great. Felt both very welcome and like we had all the privacy in the world. Highly recommend if you wish to get away from London for a couple days.

Weekend Trip to Quaint Farm in a National Park

We had a fantastic time in the shepherd's hut on Hazelbank farm. It was a beautiful location on the farm with views of the surrounding South Downs. There is easy access to public footpaths where we encountered fab views and a plethora of wildlife. The hut was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and gave us the ability to access all the fun of staying in the great outdoors whilst still having the comforts of home. The little extras provided by the host, such as eggs from the farm were a great touch. Overall, great value for money and a very relaxing weekend. Thank you

Weekend Trip to Twitey's Camping & Glamping meadows

We had a lovely stay on Susannah's land, a relaxing city break, we saw muntjac deer, birds of prey, wild rabbits! We loved bubbling away in the hot tub overlooking wintery scenes.

Weekend Trip to Little Fleece at Folly Farm

Folley Farm was a picture perfect stay! Jane could not have done enough to settle us in, lighting the fire ready for our arrival and the gorgeous welcome pack including homemade biscuits and bread. The Shepherds hut was beyond impressive, the perfect place to switch off! We will certainly be back in the summer to make use of the wood fired bath & outdoor BBQ/ pizza oven facilities.

Weekend Trip to Little Fleece at Folly Farm

The perfect getaway. The hut was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The bathtub was easy to heat up and worth the wait. Jane and David were very thoughtful; providing breakfast items, and gave us great advice on which pub to visit the next day! Easy to get to from London on public transport.

Weekend Trip to Fallow Coombe Glamping

Had the most beautiful weekend with my family. My husband and 3 year old had such a magical weekend. We had so many plans to go explore but ended up staying mostly at the camp. This little "cozy home" as my 3 year old called it has everything you need, the complimentary eggs, hot choc and marshmallows were an absolute hit! The fire pit/BBQ was great, we used it for all our cooking! The fire wood is amazing!! The shower was mom's favourite! Hot and full pressure! And then to end it all off, the bed and linen!! We all slept so well. We went to bed with the foxes and we woke to owls hooting just before sunrise! Make sure to stock up at Durleighmarsh farm shop for your groceries, so fresh and so much choice!! Great communication with Alice. Definitely will be back!!

Weekend Trip to Little Fleece at Folly Farm

11 units · Glamping, Tents5 acres · Goudhurst, Kent, South East England

Simple camping and comfortable glamping amongst organic fruit trees, wild flowers and woodland, bordering an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with some of the darkest night skies in Europe. In the beautiful High Weald of Kent, Tash and Nick have been running May Tree Orchard's low-impact, nature-friendly, seasonal campsite, Plum Camping, for the last 4 years. The Soil Association certified organic land is full of wild flowers and surrounded by woodland and other orchards. Electricity and hot water for showers and washing up is solar generated. So you can charge your phone if necessary, but we'd recommend stargazing and enjoying the quiet warmth of friends and family around an evening fire instead. Bring your own tent, stay in the delightful hand-made shepherd’s hut or stylish caravan, or hire the whole May Tree Orchard space. Numbers are kept low here so that there is always plenty of room for everyone, as well as peace and quiet. The campsite is an hour and a half drive from London and a 20 min walk to the sleepy and pretty village of Goudhurst, with pubs selling great food and two local shops for self-catering. There are also two excellent farm shops within walking distance. Close to May Tree Orchard, there are walks via Sissinghurst, Scotney and Bodiam Castle, and water activities on the River Rother and at Bewl Water. Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest is about a ten-minute drive from the campsite and the coast around Hastings and Rye is just over 30 minutes. Two amazing independent food businesses sell pears, apples and plums grown at the orchard – Local Greens (South London) and Growing Communities (North London). Delicious apple juice and tasty chutney made from the organic apples grown in the orchard are available to purchase on site, and sometimes there are home-grown veg and herbs for sale.
