Elmley Nature Reserve

Traditional Shepherd’s Huts

There are two of these 10sq m huts, each featuring a double bed, ensuite shower room and a wood-burning stove (there’s no mains electricity). Samphire has sweeping views across the marsh, Swale Estuary and the mainland in the distance. In winter, wildfowl take shelter on the Swale, and you’ll be in with a chance of spying short-eared owls swooping over the ponds. Request your preferred hut – Little Owl or Samphire – when booking.
