We had a wonderful three night stay at Griffins Retreat. Lin was a great host who was very contactable. The Nest is situated at the back of their land, is very private and secluded and in a beautiful location. Has great amenities and instructions for the relevant items. The pub is a five minute walk away and there is a nearby farm shop and other neRead morearby conveniences. Very well situated for days out in Canterbury, Whitstable, Deal and Sandwich among other places. Would fully recommend. Hide

Luxurious and well appointed cabin with all necessary appliances. Lovely outside space and comfortable seating to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine. Good hot tub with voice of either wood fired or electric heating our preference was for electric heating. Lins lemon drizzle cake was beautiful. Chillenden is in an area of natural beauty with mRead moreany footpaths and walking trails near by. The Griffins Head pub is highly recommended and only a stones throw away. We look forward to our return. Hide

We had a perfect stay at Griffins Retreat, we particularly enjoyed the hot tub, such a peaceful location with a nice village pub just a short walk away. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather in the few days we were there. Highly recommend.
Georgina - Sep 2023
Lin has created an amazing countryside oasis. The hut was kitted out with everything you could possibly need and the personal touches of homemade cake and freshly cut flowers made it even more special. Would highly recommend staying here - it's everything we needed it to be!
Matt - Aug 2023
We booked the Griffin Retreat for our honeymoon and it could not have been anymore perfect! Lin and Andy have done an amazing job with the place and it feels so private. The scenery is amazing amd that's just in the surrounding garden! It feels like the path, plants, pond and surrounds have been put there but Alan titchmarsh and the Ground Force lo t. The place really was a dream and we'd love to stay again thank you so much
Keiffa - Aug 2023
Was such a lovely experience a peaceful and relaxing couple of days, the whole set up from the location of the shepherds hut to the extras like the fire pit, hot tub and pond were placed perfectly. Everything that you need for a comfortable and convenient stay was there thoughtfully planned out. Lin (one of the hosts) was a great help throughout an d made everything a lot easier. It was a great little place to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet.
Amanda - Jul 2023
Just wonderful! So relaxing
Jodie - Jul 2023
From the homemade cake, to the overall fully equipped cabin with everything you would possibly need. Cheese graters, and other kitchen equipment, to knitting and games. The hot tub was just what we needed to unwind; again the separate towels and outside blankets, even disposable slippers are provided. The local pub has some of the best pub food I h ave had. Whitstable Bay for fresh oysters is only a 20-25 minute drive away if you fancy an afternoon trip. 10/10 would reccomend!

such a gem! its perfect for what we wanted and conveniently had everything we needed! loved everything about this place will surely be returning!
Layne - Dec 2022
Surrounded by fields and secluded from the hustle of life, this little corner of solitude left us relaxed and refreshed. The owners have thought of everything you might need to distract you from everyday life. You will wonder if this way of living can become your everyday! Take walking shoes or boots, a few books or in our case games and enjoy the quiet. We loved the log burner and the hot tub and used it everyday. We cannot recommend The Griffin's retreat more highly.
Charlotte - Nov 2022
Honestly had the best time ever, no complaints at all.
Sophie - Oct 2022
Griffins retreat is a little slice of heaven. Its set in such a beautiful part of the countryside. It had everything you could possibly think of. The homemade cakes were beautiful. Lucky for us we had beautiful weather all weekend and watched a beautiful sunset over the horizon whilst in the hot tub. I cant recommend this enough!

A lovely hidden gem! We had an absolutely amazing stay, the attention to detail within the property was excellent. Everything we could possibly need was provided, including a little basket of games, a record player and some delicious homemade cakes. The wood-fired hot tub made for perfect evenings stargazing, we even managed to see some shooting st arts. We would highly recommend The Nest and are eager to return! Thanks for a fantastic stay!

A beautiful and peaceful escape in the countryside. The shepards hut is lovely and cosy and it has everything you need for a wonderful stay. It is close to a great pub down the road that does awesome food, lots of walks and nature and it has everything you need! We loved it!
