Really lovely space for a few nights away. Very nicely decorated and well-equipped for such a small space with everything I needed for a comfy stay. Also a great location with the main high street a stone's throw away.

Great location joust off the high street. Lovely outside space and well appointed inside. Was perfect for a few nights away. The host was fab - allowed early check in and instructions were very clear.

Quirky little shepherds hut, ideal for walking into Whitstable harbour, 10/12 minutes. Everything you need, including toiletries, milk in the fridge. Very private.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6-night stay in this modern equivalent of a gipsy caravan. The location was excellent - within walking distance of most stores and attraction in Whitstable. Storage space was minimal, but sufficient (under the bed) for 2...

Super cozy and really well equipped. Decor was really stylish and pretty. Considering shepherd’s huts are little, I couldn’t believe how much was in there! Great kitchen, fully functioning bathroom - really couldn’t fault it. The fresh flowers...

'The Oyster Bed' is a luxury shepherd's hut nestled in a quiet back street just a short walk from Whitstable’s main high street. It’s a cozy & tranquil oasis; a perfect place to rest after a day on the beach or exploring the quirky shops or local eateries that Whitstable has to offer. Crafted with love and care, our fully insulated, double glazed, heated wagon boasts a comfortable raised king size bed, providing a restful night’s sleep and ample room to store luggage. It comes equipped with a log burner which creates a warm and relaxing environment during the winter months. There’s also a hand-crafted wooden kitchenette complete with small fridge, toaster, microwave, double electric hob and tea/coffee making facilities. There is also extra fridge space in the neighbouring shed should you need extra storage. Next to the kitchen is a fully-equipped bathroom with hot shower and toilet. Enjoy our indoor dining area or eat alfresco in the private courtyard next to the hut. Free parking for one car is available on the drive in front of the hut, as well as free on-street parking in the neighbouring streets. Please note that the entrance to the shepherd's hut is located at the back of the property on Essex Street. There is a lock box on the gate where the keys will be placed. The code and WiFi password will be sent to you before you arrive. We have a no-pet and adult-only policy at our property, so please take this into consideration before making a booking. Wish you a wonderful stay in Whitstable!
Hi everyone, I'm Chris, manager of this property on behalf of my mother who is the owner. I was born and raised in Kent and can provide a lot of great local recommendations for places to eat, drink or visit.
This area of Kent has so much to offer from the history of the towns and city, to the stunning landscapes. Within Whitstable, key highlights are the harbour and beach where you can try Whitstable’s famous oysters and a range of other seafood. Also, a short walk along the coast from the harbour, you can find the famous Tankerton slopes; great for an afternoon stroll. For people interested in history and culture, there are places like Whitstable castle and the Whitstable museum.
