Dear Judith, we've really enjoyed our 4-night holiday in your fantastic shepherd's hut.  We've never stayed in one before, but we found it perfect for the two of us.  Thanks for all the provisions you left for us - you seem to have thought of everything.  Forget--me-not Hut had all the facilities we could have wished for.
Thanks again, 
Verina & Rod

A lovely six nights.  Peaceful (and wonderful weather!).  Very well equipped - although we would have liked a washing up bowl - lived in fear of breaking glasses + cups!  Presentation of Hut + the provisions superb.  Would come again anytime.

(Thank you Colin & Cilla - there is a washing up bowl there now!)

Thank you.  It was perfect.  We didn't even mind the rain because it was so cosy and welcoming.  Great attention to detail, you have thought about it so well.  One useful addition would be a small hairdryer.  We hope to return one day.

Thank you for enabling us to have such a restful break.  The 'Hut' is so charming and well appointed - you have thought of everything!  We enjoyed walking to the pub in the village and in Bodiam - both excellent.  We may well be back! 
Juliet & Rob
P.S.  Some egg cups would be useful!
(Thank you Juliet & Rob - there are two egg cups there now!)

The 'hut' was a very comfortable space with the most beautiful, quintessentially English, countryside with which nestle handsome villages and charming cottages and oast houses.  We enjoyed the adjacent horses and chickens, even if the horses emitted some strange noises in the middle of the night.  The Castle Inn, The White Dog and the Salehurst Halt all good, the last-named our favourite in the garden.
Roland & Tessa

Guest book entry 8-11th July 2021

A lovely shepherd's hut beautifully fitted and finished.  You have thought of everything and the breakfast provisions were very good and most welcome. 
We have loved exploring this area and would recommend the steam railway between Tenterden and Bodiam - very relaxing.  We will hopefully be back soon.  
Thank you.

Guest book entry 12-14th July 2021

We had a lovely 2 nights in 'The Hut' the setting is beautiful and we had the most wonderful weather.  The surrounding area is lovely and we would highly recommend 'The Hub' and the White Dog for food.  The Hut was so comfortable and welcoming and had everything we could possibly need.  Thank you for having us, we feel truly rested and happy!

Thank you so much - hope to return.

What a find!  You can be very proud of Forget-me-not Hut.  It is perfect for visiting the many houses and gardens nearby.  It is well equipped and so clean and tidy we thought we were the first visitors.  There is everything anyone would want for a comfortable short stay.  Thank you for the selection of breakfast food.  No one could ask for more.  The bed is very comfortable.  We will be back. 
N.B.  We had very good meals at the Queens Inn and The White Dog.
Thank you.  Trevor & Jane

Guest book entry 28th - 31st July 2021

We have both enjoyed our stay in Forget-me-not Hut.  Everything you could need for a short break and the detail of fittings and food supplies were first class, very comfortable & cosy & warm.  You have certainly put a lot of thought into everything in the hut.  We would like to say a big thank you and may return again in the future.

Guest book entry 2nd - 6th August 2021

Lovely 2 night stay at Forget-me-not Hut, very comfortable and relaxing.  Beautifully decorated and well equipped, always wanted to stay in a shepherds hut and this didn't disappoint!  Ate at two lovely pubs Eight Bells at Hawkhurst and the White Dog, some don't open on Sunday evening.  Very pretty little garden to sit in, did manage to have a glass of wine out there, we did have some heavy showers.
Thank you.  Debbie & Keith

Guest book entry 8th - 10th August 2021

Thank you for a lovely stay at 'Forget-me-not Hut' it was an ideal base for us to visit Bodiam Castle, Scotney Castle, Rye (one of our favourite places), family who we've not seen for 4 years! Ashford Retail Outlet, Tenterden (lovely place for individual shops) + we enjoyed meals at 'The White Dog' (twice - nice Sunday lunch) Bodiam Castle Inn.  The shepherds hut is beautiful, good supplies + well thought out, we hope to return!!  Thanks.

We have had a lovely time, we have relaxed in the beautiful surroundings and have enjoyed seeing many fine houses, castles and gardens.  Forget-me-not Hut is lovely also, everything you need, the finish and craftsmanship is second to none and we loved having breakfast looking out at the horses!  We hope to return in the future.
Many thanks for a lovely stay.
Chris and Carol

Guest book entry 20th - 24th August 2021

We were incredibly lucky to stumble on a Bank Holiday cancellation for the Hut.  As everyone has mentioned, it is a perfect place to stay, with every detail well thought out.
We'd highly recommend the walk across the fields to Great Dixter, we used the map in the Hut to get the right footpaths, and it took just under an hour each way.  Fabulous gardens, great café.  Three nights just hasn't been enough!
Sandra & Jeff

Guest book entry 27th - 30th August 2021

Dear Judith, we've really enjoyed our 3 night stay in your Shepherd's Hut.  You have thought of everything and it is perfect!  - extremely comfortable, cosy & very welcoming.  It is beautifully decorated & fitted out to the highest standard.  The breakfast provisions were very good too.  Had a fabulous meal at the White Dog and would highly recommend.  Thanks so much for a lovely stay - I'm sure we'll be back.

Wow - what a wonderful find and very sad to be leaving.  Forget-me-not Hut is delightful and had everything we needed.  We had a lovely meal at The Swan in Sandhurst and spent a day at Bexhill and enjoyed the old fashioned feel to the town.  On leaving today we are heading to Bodiam Castle and Bateman's for the afternoon.  Hope to come again.

Guest book entry 17th - 19th September 2021

We have enjoyed a very relaxing and restful stay at Forget-me-not Shepherd's Hut.  Even though we only live 18 miles away, we feel as though we have really escaped and we've loved exploring the beautiful countryside.  We had everything we needed in the luxurious and beautifully decorated hut - the wonderfully comfortable bed and the peace and quiet were the best!  Thank you.
Sally and Quentin

Guest book entry 20th - 22nd September 2021

This was our first experience of staying in a shepherd's hut and it was everything we wished for.  It was so relaxing and we enjoyed some great walks with our little dog Bones, right on the doorstep.  We were all very cosy and had everything we needed - thank you again Judith.  We shall remember ours stay with fond memories.

We have had a really fantastic 3 night stay at the 'Forget-me-not Hut'.  We have never stayed anywhere like this before and we love it.  You have thought of everything, so cosy and inviting.  Spotlessly clean.  (So pleased our friends recommended it to us.)  Been out and about, nice trip on the steam train, had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Mermaid Inn in Rye. 
Thank you for all the breakfast provisions.

"Small but perfectly formed."  We have enjoyed a very peaceful few days in your comfortable shepherds hut.  Could definitely have stayed longer as feeling very relaxed.  Loved the hippo pouffe!  and such a comfy bed too.  Thanks for the breakfast goodies.  Would def recommend and hope to return again when there's no fuel shortages so we can get so see some of the places we couldn't this time.
Many thanks.
Chris & Neil

Guest book entry 5th - 7th October 2021

We were so lucky to find a 4-night slot in beautiful Forget-me-not Hut.  Would echo everything the previous entries have said.  It's perfect!  You've thought of all the little details for guests to have a comfortable, relaxing stay in this area of stunning countryside, gardens, manor houses and castles.  Bodiam and Great Dixter our favourites.  Thank you for your care.
Jenny & Paul

Guest book entry 9th - 13th October 2021

Our first stay in a shepherds hut did not disappoint, such a high standard of workmanship and cleanliness. 
All needs had been catered for and the weather even turned out better than we expected, choosing to rain later in the evenings. 
Lovely days out and virtually on the doorstep. 
Thank you Judith for the generous food supplies.  Will certainly recommend to friends.
Sue & Gary, Dorset.

Beautifully well fitted out 'hut', exceptionally comfortable bed.  We really appreciated the excellent breakfast provisions.  The walks were a very thoughtful touch and enabled us to find the Castle across the fields.  We had a perfect break, lovely attentions to detail.  Quiet & private location.
