Hattie the Horse Box

Hattie the Horse Box offers a unique experiential self-catering experience in a lovely semi-rural location.  Hattie is a converted vintage horse box with its own en-suite shower room, galley kitchen and a lay-z-spa hot tub. Set in the owner's 13 acres with great views across their fields, fresh eggs from the obliging chickens and within an easy walk to the small parade of shops and pubs in Hawkhurst, this really is the best glamping experience you can have!  Hattie has been designed with great flair and attention to detail ensuring that you have everything you need for a relaxing escape to the country. There is a comfortable sofa with a DVD player and mini TV for watching DVDs, an electric wood-effect stove and a well equipped kitchen. The cosy king-size bed is tucked up into the framework with four portholes and it boasts its own shower room. Double French door open onto a courtyard area with far reaching views, which can also be enjoyed from the hot tub.  As an alternative, why not snuggle up in the open fronted field shed next door and relax and unwind under the stars.   Shop: 0.4 miles  Pub: 0.4 miles  Coast: 18 miles
