The space
✨ Ambrose Shepherd’s Hut – Romantic Retreat with Private Wood-Fired Hot Tub ✨
Escape to the beautiful Kent countryside and unwind in Ambrose, our handcrafted luxury Shepherd’s Hut – a spacious, romantic hideaway designed just for two. Set in a private two-acre meadow, this is glamping at its most indulgent: peaceful, stylish, and wonderfully secluded.

💤 Sleep in Style
Much larger than a standard hut, Ambrose features a full-size double bed with luxury Egyptian cotton bedding for a perfect night’s sleep. The interior is handmade in Oxfordshire with exceptional attention to comfort and detail.

🛁 Relax Under the Stars
Your Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub is filled with fresh water (no chlorine) and heated ready for your arrival. Slip into the warmth beneath the night sky with complimentary Prosecco. We provide waffle robes, flip-flops, and marshmallows for toasting by the fire.

☕ Everything for a Perfect Stay
We’ve thought of every little extra so you can simply relax:
Complimentary continental breakfast
Dualit coffee maker, coffee pods, teas & hot chocolate
Wood-burning stove (laid ready for your first night in winter months)
Luxury rain shower, fluffy towels & toiletries
Fire pit with grill, Adirondack chairs & sheepskin rugs (rugs summertime only)
Honesty whisky decanter for cosy evenings
Naturally cool in summer and wonderfully snug in winter – Ambrose is perfect year-round.

🌳 Glorious Countryside
Step outside and enjoy walks through rolling fields straight from your door. There are two excellent country pubs within walking distance (or 15 minutes by car/taxi). The peaceful surroundings make it easy to switch off and reconnect.

💫 Private & Peaceful
Within our private meadow, Ambrose sits about 100 yards from our other luxury hut, Humphrey. Each has its own secluded space, screened by natural hurdles and soft lighting to ensure complete privacy.
Whether you’re celebrating something special or just escaping for a weekend, Ambrose Shepherd’s Hut offers the perfect romantic countryside retreat – luxurious, peaceful, and unforgettable.

Guest access
'Ambrose' is in the meadow next to our farmhouse, but at a good distance away. We are available at all times for any help or recommendations if wanted, but otherwise you will have complete privacy. There is a gravel pathway from the open barns - with ample free private parking - to the hut. Until recently, the meadow was used for grazing animals and we are surrounded by open farmland. In the Springtime there's a good chance of seeing lambs gambolling around in the next door fields. The Tunbridge Wells circular walk (of 40 miles) passes by the adjoining fields and along the beautiful grade 2 listed Victorian railway which is just visible on the horizon in winter months.

Other things to note
Further Info:

Although we love both - 'Ambrose' is unsuitable for pets and children (sorry!)

Smoking is not permitted inside the hut.

Our Scandinavian wooden hot tub is completely free from chlorine and is filled with fresh water which can stay in for three days.

We will greet guests and show you to 'Ambrose'. N.B Please DO NOT show yourself to the hut as there is important information that we need to share with you on your arrival for your safety and comfort. You will then be left in complete privacy for your stay, but we are on hand should you need us.

Taxis are available from the High Brooms station (7 minutes by car) but only at peak times (so worth booking in advance). Tunbridge Wells Station (20 minutes by car) have taxis at all times.
We are 50 minutes by rail from London Charing Cross.

Only private cars allowed - no camper vans.
