  • "The Shepherds hut was immaculate and very well equipped, in a lovely tucked away setting."

    We enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the river and eating alfresco as the weather was gorgeous every day. There's plenty of places to visit in the area and we enjoyed nearby Eastbourne. We would certainly consider returning one day.

  • "Salthaven Shepherds Hut is a great little place to spend a few days in."

    Built with no expense spared to the highest specification. Set at the bottom of the host's garden with views down the 'stream', where one can watch the feathered wildlife, including kingfishers. The village of Pevensey Bay is a short ten-minute walk, where there are shops and a fine selection of eateries. We will definitely go there again.

    Thankyou so much for a lovely review ☺️ We are so glad you got to see the Kingfisher and we look forward to welcoming you again Property Owner

  • "Absolutely fabulous property."

    I was looking for a cosy little retreat away from the crazy hustle and bustle of the outside world and this was simply perfect. Set at the bottom of its own private and secluded garden and next to the river with its abundance of wildlife it had everything I needed for me and my little dog. Highly recommend - and will definitely return!

    Thankyou so much for a lovely review ❤️ We look forward to hosting you again. Property Owner

    Heard a cuckoo, and saw a kingfisher - both "firsts" for me!. The cabin is so comfortable and well-designed, has everything you need, and has the lovely garden to sit out in and just enjoy the setting. Definitely recommended.
