The space
Our fenced in, small wooded area was probably historically a marl pit. As such, it is a dipped wooded area, and access is via a ramped walkway. This wooded area is shared with guests at Browns Shack glamping cabin, though each has separate area with own fire bowl and dining space. Non-staying guests are not permitted on the property, and we request that guests be mindful and respectful of others, including our animal friends and wildlife who share the space.
Browns Shepherd Hut features a double bed and an en-suite shower with heated towel rail and compost/waterless toilet. A wall mounted boiler provides hot water for a proper shower and all taps. Water is mains supply, so is safe to drink. Kitchenette facilities include sink, double hob, kettle, cafetiere, cutlery, crockery and utensils, also an under counter fridge.
A BBQ unit, BBQ utensils and charcoal are provided for cooking outdoors. Opposite the hut is a fire pit for exclusive use by hut guests only to allow for striking up a cosy fire on cold nights when relaxing outdoors. Incessant burning or bonfires however is prohibited.
A compact but efficient Hobbitt multi-fuel burning stove provides warming flame and heat inside the hut. A small amount of fuel for the stove, charcoal for BBQ, and wood logs, kindling and firelighters for the fire pit is provided.
Our property is surrounded by fields for grazing sheep and cattle, though you won’t have to look far to see ‘wild life’ as we also share our home with our dogs and a herd of rescue horses. You can enjoy views of the fields to the back of the property from our ‘tree house’ viewing platform, which is a shared facility with guests at Browns Shack. For the location of the shepherd hut in relation to the shack cabin, please see images provided on property layout.
We are conveniently located just 10-15 minutes’ walk to Robertsbridge village, which offers shops, a café and bakery, pubs, restaurant, pharmacy, post office, vet and overground train station. We recommend driving if you wish to enjoy the various attractions of 1066 Country High Weald AONB. E.g. Battle Abbey, Bodiam Castle, Pashley Manor Gardens, Darwell Wood, Scotney Castle and Carr Taylor Vineyard are within 15 minutes’ drive or less. While Rye, Hastings, Camber Sands beach, Chapel Down Vinery and Herstmonceux Castle are approximately 30 minutes’ drive away.
