Cosy Escape

Step into a Hobbit's holiday on the Isle of Sheppey. Known as The Hive, this unique glamping pod combines rustic charm with modern convenience, offering couples and small families something genuinely different from the typical Kent getaway. The curved exterior opens into a surprisingly spacious open-plan interior with a well-equipped kitchen featuring fridge, hob, oven, and all essential utensils. A king-size bed provides proper sleeping comfort, while a double sofa bed can accommodate two additional guests. The ensuite bathroom includes a walk-in shower, and linen and towels are provided. Step outside to your private wood-fired hot tub on the decking, with wood included for your first session. Additional sessions cost just ten pounds for wood and kindling. When temperatures exceed 15°C, guests can access the communal swimming pool, adding another dimension to summer stays. The Isle of Sheppey offers plenty to explore beyond your Hobbit door. Minster Leas Beach provides space for kite flying and beachcombing for sea glass, while Minster Abbey and its medieval brasses tell fascinating tales of the area's past. Banks Restaurant and The Playa offer dining with stunning sea views. For day trips, Elmley Nature Reserve delivers world-class wildlife spotting, while Leeds Castle, one of England's most picturesque historic sites, lies within easy reach on the mainland. Rochester's Norman castle and Dickensian streets provide another excellent excursion. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small additional fee, making this a genuinely pet-friendly escape for those seeking something different.
