The Romney

Aldington, Romney Marsh

The Romney is a rare find for glampers, suitable for love birds with the outdoor bath and double bed and also suitable for families or friends to share a hut for up to 4 all under one roof! Located in the most stunning location on the Romney Marsh surrounded by sheep and lambs! Sit back and relax and enjoy the wonderful views whilst in the stunning outside bath. The children will also have fun feeding the lambs in Spring, and watching them hop and skip in the surrounding fields. For those chillier nights the cosy woodburning stove will keep you all warm, or snuggle up under a blanket outside with the fire pit roaring and watch the mesmerising star filled skies. With so many wonderful activities nearby, and the coast on your doorstep you’ll find it hard to leave!

In the Area

There is so much to see and do in this area of Kent. The nearby Royal Military Canal was built to defend England during the Napoleonic wars and is now a perfect place for a relaxing walk whilst spotting kingfishers and other water birds. Romney Marsh itself is a wonderful place for bird and wildlife spotting. RSPB at Dungeness, the oldest of their reserves is also a fantastic spot for ornithologists. For history lovers the Historic Lympne Castle is nearby, as well as Port Lympne Wildlife Reserve. There's no need to bring your own bikes as you can hire bikes from Channel Bike Hire who will deliver to your accommodation free of charge - please ask for further details. For some retail therapy visit Hythe, one of the original Cinque Ports with its long high street of local shops, or for a day at the beach head to Dymchurch less than 4 miles away.

A magical detox from modern life 4.8/5

A perfect spot to switch off from modern life. Beautiful cosy hut, well appointed and homely, bliss!

Stunning views of stars and beautiful accomadation 5/5

We had an amazing stay at The Romney with our little girl. From the luxury outside tub, to the fire pit for toasted marshmallows! We enjoyed every second. Our little girl adored the chickens that go around the field and the sheep. The breakfast box add on was delicious of fresh farm shop foods and the owner leaves lovely little touches (like bath robes and lush toiletries) that really go a long way to make the stay special! The stars are stunning to see on a clear night too.

Beautiful Getaway in nature 5/5

What a perfect location for a getaway surrounded by nature! The view across the fields with the company of fluffy friends was amazing. In the hut, absolutely everything was thought of - from wine to fresh bread and biscuits. The outdoor bath was lovely, and perfect for using during the day or night. We will definitely be returning!

Gorgeous 4.5/5

The Romney was gorgeous, it was so relaxing and peaceful it was so nice waking up to all the sheep around us, would definitely recommend and stay again

Ideal short stay for ewe and yours 4.7/5

We stayed for one night in the larger hut and had a terrific time. With two boys (8 and 11) sharing the top bunk it wasn't roomy but absolutely fine for a short stay. They enjoyed the outside bath and the novelty of sharing the 'garden' with the farm's sheep. Overall, the communication was good, the owners left us to it (which I liked), all facilities were new and clean and we were on the beach by 11am the next day. Will probably return next year. A great base for the South Coast

Beautiful, perfectly designed, well kept 4.8/5

Fantastically designed small cabin. Sheep and baby lambs all around, outdoor bath a wonderful touch even on a cold windy day. We had a bath under the stars and were kept lovely and warm. Bed comfy, everything clean. Lovely walks all around, though paths aren't clear at points.

Speechless! 5/5

My stay at the Shepard's Hut was beyond words. It had the best views, it was cosy and very cute with all the lambs and their mothers huddled round. Any of my questions were answered so quickly by Kristina who was so helpful and gave me so many recommendations on what to do and where to eat. If you are looking at booking I definitely would! It was super clean and the bath tub on the outside is to die for. I was lucky enough to even feed one of the lambs which really rounded of the whole experience.

Amazing place 5/5

Such a beautiful place, surrounded by peace and beautiful scenery. There are so many homely extra touches provided such a jam, bread, milk, and wine and the owners are attentive and welcoming which made the stay feel so much more personal. Beautiful sunset from the huts. Being surrounded by the sheep with all there is also a bonus. Cant wait to book again!

Romney Shepherds Hut 4.8/5

Beautiful shepherds hut, clean, well stocked and in a great location. Children were invited to feed the lambs which was an added bonus. Minor points - Microwave should be added to the list of facilities. Slippers are mentioned but we didn't find any. It would be nice if the toiletries were replenished on turnover. It states that it sleeps 4! We were two adults and two children (7yrs & 3yrs) and one of us had to top and tail with the children on the larger bottom bunk. The photo is a little deceiving as the top bunk is only a single size. With there being no safety rail on the top bunk we couldn't risk putting a child up there. Luckily our children are only small, had they been teenagers we couldn't have stayed. So it needs to be clear that this hut is more suited to three people.

Overnight family stay 5/5

We had a fantastic stay, the room decor was fantastic and clean. The views and surroundings incredible. We will recommend and come back ourselves. We had the breakfast add on, the sausages, bacon and eggs were top quality. The only small constructive criticism that I can think of would be the bread, a nice crusty loaf or sour dough would take this to the next level.
