Quirky places to stay in Kent

In a rush? I’ve put all my favourite unique Airbnbs in Kent on this favourites list so you can book directly. You can read more information about them all below.

Log Cabin on the Lake

Often log cabins on a lake are associated with the lake areas of the US, but you're in luck, because now you can stay in a secluded log cabin by a lake, right here in Kent.

Just 10 minutes from Tunbridge Wells, you're close enough for convenience but staying somewhere remote enough that you can relax, enjoy nature and have a BBQ by the lake.

Book the Log Cabin by the Lake in Kent here.

Little Cabin by the Lake Guesthouse

This cabin on the lake isn't quite a log cabin, but it is a quaint rustic cabin on a fishing lake, perfect for summer getawys in nature.

But don't think this is just a summmer getaway, check out the property photos to see it covered in snow and looking beautifully pictureque during winter.

If you're looking for unusual places to stay in Kent and Sussex, this is for you, as the cabin is actually located just into East Sussex.

Book the rustic cabin by the lake here.

The Lodge and Private Tennis Court

Want to experience staying in a luxury hotel but with a bit more distance from other people? This Airbnb is like a modern hunting style lodge, with wooden panelling, a log burning fire and wrought iron chandaliers, don't forget the stags head on the wallk too!

But this private location offers peaceful views from the sunny deck, tennis courts and a table tennis table in a stone farmhouse built in 1664.

Just a short way from Bedgebury Forest, you'll have plenty of fresh air and walks in the area too.

Book the farmhouse lodge here.

Romantic Kent getaway glamping cabins

You won't be roughing it in these luxury cabins! These stunningly decorated glamping cabins offer a romantic, secluded getaway for couples in the East Sussex countryside - another great option if you're looking for quirky places to stay in Kent and Sussex.

The site consists of two cabins, one for sleeping and another one for living space, in an enclose field that's perfect for taking your dog too.

Experience outdoor dining, a luxurious roll top bath and so much more space than you would expect from these huts.

Book the glamping cabin here.

Secluded Treehouse Getaway

If you've been dreaming of finding a treehouse hideaway Kent can offer, look no further! This stunning treehouse retreat is the ultimate unusual accommodation in Kent.

With the tree trunk bursting through the rooms and growing through the living space, you'll feel all at one with nature. Look out the window and just see endless fields and greenery, this seclusion is the perfect antidote to a busy week at work or for a romantic couples weekend break.

Book the treehouse retreat here.

Tiny house living in a Herdsman Hut

This unique herdsman hut is picturesquely located in the middle of a field with the garden of England rolling in each direction.

A timber frame cabin with a log burning fire, an outdoor fire pit and a large deck to enjoy a glass of wine in the sun, this is the perfect peaceful escape in a quirky Airbnb with all the modern amenities.

Located on a farm, you really will feel at one with nature in the peace and quiet of the fields around you.

Book the herdsman hut here.

The Hide Out Hut in the woods

A luxurious shepherds cabin tucked in the woods and overlooking the coast, this open plan luxurious hut is stunning to see - just check out the photos for yourself!

With panoramic floor to ceiling windows so you feel at one with nature and a ligh airy interior, the log burner will keep you cosy along with the outdoor fire pit while you relax on the deck.

This is the ultimate unusual place to stay in the south east.

Wherever you stay, I hope you enjoy your quirky getaway!

Save this for later to help you plan your future trip!

Want some help travelling like me? These are my favourite resources I use for planning my trips:

Flights: I use Expedia to find great flights and the best deals all over the world, they have regular sales and offers so I always check their website. I also check CheapOair to find cheap deals on round trip flights.

Car Rental: I love the customer service I've always gotten and the variety of options with Rental Cars. But for short notice rentals, I've been using Expedia for the last year, they always seem to have great one-day rates or last-minute rates from the main rental companies.

Accommodation: I prefer the flexibility of booking accommodation with Booking.com so I can cancel or change my reservation without a fee or only pay on arrival for most properties. For longer or more unique stays I prefer AirBnB because you can get the long stay discount, you can also find more unique properties and book experiences with talented locals and businesses. For my budget trips, I always stay in hostels and book through Hostelworld because they have great guarantees if anything does go wrong. If you arrive and your booking is not at the property, they refund the full deposit AND give you $50 extra credit.

Tours and organised trips Although I don’t use tours that often, I do like to book local experiences or day trips once I reach my destination. For that I use GetYourGuide because it has the biggest selection and variety of tour and experience options.

Travel Insurance: For all my longer trips and for the entire year I’ve spent in Australia, my partner and I have always used World Nomads. They cover everything I need and I can buy coverage for a year at a time, they also allow you to purchase cover when you’re already outside your home country. Plus my camera gear and equipment is covered and they also have special cover for when I’m scuba diving too.

My camera gear and equipment: I use a Canon 77D with an 18-135mm lens or a 50mm lens. And a DJI Mavic Mini Drone. For all my gear including laptops, tripods and more camera accessories read my travel photography gear guide.
