Studio With Uninterrupted Views Of Romney Marsh. Visit Rye Hythe and Canterbury
The Shed stands in the garden of the listed Old Oak, once the smuggling pub of Bonnington. The Shed has its own garden space, table and chairs and BBQ. Built in 2012 to the highest specifications and in traditional style it offers an ideal base for walking and exploration. There is one bedroom with a king size bed, and a kitchen living room which is equipped with a dishwasher, cooker and fridge, TV and WiFi and prettily and individually designed for total comfort. Built for our far flung family to stay in when in England - we would love to share it with you when they are not with us! We love this special corner of England, and built the Shed to reflect its rural surroundings, and offer a cosy welcoming retreat. Sadly the Shed is not suitable for those with mobility problems as the only access is by the outside stairs, but it has proved to be a great base for artists, writers and those with a creative spirit.

Can not fault the property, it was clean and had everything we needed. The host was great and their dog is very friendly. Great location to explore the Kent countryside. Can not recommend them enough.
The Shed gave us a perfect "home" to explore the marshes. Tina and Jeremy had thought of everything necessary (and more) for a wonderful short break before winter sets in!
Wonderful quite location, warm and cosy place to stay. Tina and Jeremy are so welcoming and the dog was really friendly. We highly recomment this place.
What wonderful property. The Shed is an amazing place to spend a few days relaxing and exploring the local area. Tina and Jeremy are wonderful hosts and Holly was there to greet us everytime we came home.
We pottered around Dymchurch, Canterbury, Hythe amd Rye and really enjoyed our visit to Dover Castle.
Would highly recommend.

Beautiful, light and spacious cottage with excellent interaction with the owners, Tina and Jeremy.
Great place to stay in beautiful and uncrowded Romney Marsh area. Great for birding nearby at Dungeness RSPB. Tour of local churches is highly recommended.
Very cosy and comfortable property in a great location for exploring the Kent coast and countryside.
We had a lovely warm welcome from Tina and Jeremy and enjoyed our second stay here very much, the house is very well equipped and we had everything we needed.
We had a lovely stay here. Tina and Jeremy met us upon arrival and told us everything we needed to know about the accommodation along with local area. We had a private west facing garden for sitting out looking over the fields which was very peaceful. The accommodation had everything we required and we will definitely stay again.
We had a great stay at the shed. Lovely, cosy property with wonderful views and quiet enough to hear the birds. Tina and Jeremy left some thoughtful touches with everything as we needed it. Close to great places to visit and nice country walks. Thank you very much
What a lovely little find. We’ve stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the past 5 years and this one was by far the most comforting/homely. Lovely personal touches included homemade shortbread, toiletries in the bathroom and a lovely welcome message. The owners were very nice and didn’t hesitate to help with anything we needed. I’d definitely recommend The Shed! The location was lovely too, not too far from big towns and cities but far away from the hustle and bustle.
The Shed was a wonderful place to relax in and enjoy the beautiful countryside views.
Tina was very welcoming and everything we could possibly need was provided even hot water bottles, had it been cold enough. Lots of interesting information provided on places to go and the history of The Old Oak and the croissants, eggs and other goodies were very much appreciated.
Sitting in the garden looking out onto the fields was idyllic.
A thoroughly enjoyable stay, I only wish we could have stayed for longer.
Lovely place to stay. Tina and Jeremy such nice hosts. We used to live a short distance away and came back to visit our old friends. Wonderful break and fun sightseeing. Rye, Snargate, Dymchurch, NewRomney, Appledore antiques. and lots more. Thank you. Irene Xx
The Shed is so much more than the name suggests. We absolutely loved it, Tina left us fresh milk and the most yummy homemade biscuits, and other goodies. Even a message on the window! So personal. Everything you could need is there. Loved the very enthusiastic Retriever dogs, private garden and breathtaking views.
Made to feel so welcome.
We enjoyed our break at The Shed. The shed accommodation was very comfortable and had everything to make our stay welcome. On arrival there was a lovely personal greeting, chocolates and fruit the Host had thought of everything, even down to a picnic bag hanging on the coat rack. For those wishing to get away it is ideal, plenty of books, magazines, and local information to read. However, there were noisy and heavy agriculture vehicles passing by in the month of August, in the early hours - but you are in the countryside after all!
A little of the beaten path, but that just makes it better
There’s so much to say, starting with the wonderful hosts, who made us feel welcome long before we arrived. They were keen to help introduce my dog-phobic wife to Holly, their beautiful golden retriever. And it worked. Holly is every bit as sweet as advertised.
The place has several windows that allow for a pleasant breeze to flow through. It’s filled with art, mementos and helpful advice to help find things to keep you busy.
Visited Dover Castle and Canterbury, but our most memorable time was sharing a short visit with our hosts, learning about their family and the last 50 years they’ve lived in the former pub that is their home next door.
The Shed was a beautiful property to stay in- very pretty. The hosts were kind and friendly but not interfering. There were a few nice touches such as posies of flowers and a few treats in the kitchen. It was a cool but sunny week and the Shed was warm and comfortable. There was loads to do every day- we stayed 5 nights. We'd recommend Canterbury Cathedral (the architecture was stunning. We enjoyed seeing the crypt too. After spending time in the town, which was characterful too, we returned for Evensong) Sissinghurst gardens (worth a visit even though main summer planting isn't out as spring planting was lovely), Dungeness (although there's the power station, the shingle beach with the old boats was unique and beautiful. The Seafood Shack was lovely too but has very limited opening times). Walks in the lanes and along the canal are nice too- we walked to Saint Romwold's church which was pretty. Overall a prefect get-away for a few days. Thank you.
It’s not often we say a stay is brilliant however on this occasion it was. Great hosts welcoming, considerate and good communication. ‘The Shed’ is definitely not a shed. It’s beautifully and artistically decorated, warm, comfortable and everything you would need. Now we’ve had two nights we plan to be back for a week. Wonderful area looking out on Romney marsh, quiet and peaceful a special time.
Very nice couple, very friendly and welcoming!
The apparment has everything that you need!
Love the sparrows and the lovely garden!

We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad in de studio boven de schuur. Vanuit de studio is er een mooi uitzicht op het boerenland. Het verblijf is gezellig ingericht, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien.
Tina en Jeremy zijn zeer vriendelijke, geïnteresseerd en behulpzaam. Omdat het moerasland is kun je er heel goed fietsen en het ligt op 5 km van het strand.
Lovely self catering space above their workshop. The views across the Marsh flatness all around were beautiful. The owner is an artist, and has tastefully painted some of the walls with nature scenes. Wi Fi was good. Kitchen has utensils, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, etc... all that's needed to cook a meal.
