Shepherds Close
A Smallholding Estate for Luxury Stays & Seasonal Gatherings
Welcome
On the edge of Canterbury, Shepherds Close is our family-run smallholding estate — twenty-five acres of gardens, meadows, and parkland where time slows and nature flourishes.
Both working land and sanctuary, it’s a place where pigs root in the fields, chickens cluck away merrily, rabbits dart along the hedgerows, and our dogs keep cheerful watch.
We welcome guests into this rhythm of the countryside through our private lodge and seasonal gatherings, with more to come as the estate unfolds.
What We Offer
-
Luxury Stays
Wisteria Lodge is our private two-bedroom countryside retreat. Designed with quiet luxury, layered textures, and a private garden framed by the landscape, it is a place to restore and retreat.
-
Wild Dinners
Long-table dining beneath the open sky. Our wild dinners celebrate the seasons with produce from our gardens and fields, cooked over fire and shared in good company. Sign up to be the first to know when dates are released.
-
The Smallholding
Shepherds Close is alive with its own rhythm — wildflower meadows, working gardens, and animals that bring the land to life. It is the heart of everything we create and the thread that ties each experience together.
Be part of our story as it grows.
Shepherds Close is a place to breathe deeply, to be nourished by the land, and to experience the beauty of a working countryside family smallholding. Whether you join us for a stay, a supper, or simply follow along as we grow, you are part of the story too.
