Hob, microwave, fridge, hot and cold running water, shower and a fully plumbed in WC all add to the convenience of modern living but still with the feeling of being away from it all. The hut is in the far corner of the owners' grounds, conveniently set back from the A28.

Take a trip on the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway from Tenterden, also known as ’The Jewel of the Weald’, through the Rother Levels to Bodiam, one of the most evocative moated castles (National Trust), built in 1385.
