Sixteen acres of ancient Kent woodland. Three storybook cabins — a hobbit hut, a vintage caravan, a family yurt. Off-grid by design. Wood-burner in every unit. Fire pit at every door. The bluebells in spring, the log smoke in autumn.
Each is independent, private, off-grid. All have wood-burners, outdoor kitchens, composting loos and a fire pit. Log nets included.

Chrissy's been running Wishwood for nine years. What started as a single hobbit hut in 16 acres is now three units, 779 reviews, and a slow-grown reputation in slow travel.
Off-grid isn't a gimmick. There's no mains water, no mains power, no hot tubs, no wifi by design. There's a fire pit, a wood-burner, an outdoor kitchen, and 16 acres of ancient woodland 10 minutes from Herne Bay and 20 from Whitstable.
Solar powers low-draw lights. Wood-burner heats the cabin and the water (with the gas backup for the shower). Composting loos. Gas hob in the outdoor kitchen for cooking. You're not roughing it — you've just stepped out of the grid for a few days.
Yes — all three cabins are dog-friendly. £15 per dog flat for the whole stay. Outdoor warm-water rinse by the boiler shed. 16 acres to roam. Just keep them on the lead near the boundary.
No wifi by design. Phone signal is patchy (decent for EE, less for O2). If you genuinely need to work remotely, this isn't the spot. If you want to be unreachable for 48 hours, it's perfect.
We provide: bedding, towels, kitchen kit, gas cylinder, one log net, kindling and firelighters, candles, basic cleaning kit. Bring: warm clothes (even in summer evenings), torches, food, drinks. Extra log nets £5 if you go through one.
Full refund up to 14 days before check-in. Inside 14 days: 50% refund + we try to re-let; if we re-let, full refund. Life happens — message us.
