Traditional shepherd's huts in the middle of a National Nature Reserve.

Amongst the untouched wilderness and vast blue skies, Elmley has managed to combine conservation and luxury to create a truly unforgettable stay. The custom-made, cosy Shepherd's Huts - Little Owl or Samphire - were commissioned especially from sustainable materials and have incredible views over the reserve. Wood-burning stove, en-suite bathrooms, double beds and outside fire pit, all contribute to the barefoot luxury feel. Both huts have self-catering facilities or guests can dine on a menu of seasonal and local produce at our restaurant or get supper baskets and breakfast hampers, delivered direct to your hut door.

There really is no bad time to visit, as the changing seasons see the reserve unfold in all its incredible natural surroundings. The 3,300 acres of protected land are yours to roam (within designated conservation paths) on this unique island, which is all within an hour’s commute from London.
