The Experience
A magical transformation of a beautiful old house, which is totally off-grid. Look after yourselves (the kitchen is a cook’s dream and you can order supermarket food ahead which will be unpacked for you) or upgrade to be cossetted incredibly thoughtfully from breakfast to a relaxed or formal supper and housekeeping in between.
Bedrooms have underfloor heating, walk-in showers, deep windowsills, pretty fabrics and vintage finds. Light a roaring fire for wintery nights, settle with a whisky in the snug or in the library full of books and games. On sunny days you’ll be eating outdoors in the lovely big gardens where you’ll find a gas barbecue and a firepit (complete with blankets and marshmallows) for when the stars come out.
You have 3,300 acres of nature reserve to explore (book onto a wildlife tour to learn more), miles of nature trails to wander and your own shell beach with sheltered swimming at high tide. Yoga, massages, all is possible.

We stayed in one of the Larger Shepherd's Huts (Ferryman's) from Christmas Eve for 4 nights. The facilities in the huts are fantastic, and we had an extremely comfortable and cosy stay, with the huge advantage of having the excellent Nature Reserve literally on our doorstep. When reopened after Christmas we used the Hamper & Farmhouse Food offerings which were excellent. All in all a very special way to spend the Christmas.

A truly lovely house on a special farm estate - and with the added extra of being on a National Nature Reserve. Everything is here, you don't really have to move once you've arrived except to wander about taking it all in and enjoying lots of birds and wildlife and walks. You don't have to go far for supper either with the lovely old Barn at hand serving good local food.

Location
The neighbourhood
Elmley is unique: 3,300 acres of saltmarsh and mudflats, wilderness and beauty – the only family-owned National Nature Reserve in the UK. Nature trails take you to grazing cattle and sheep, wildflowers in spring, owls, hare, birds of prey and waders, butterflies and dragonflies. If you fancy a meal out, the wonderful Three Mariners at Oare is 15 miles.
Local points of interest from Gareth & Georgina Fulton
- Elmley is a huge wild landscape, a 3,300 acre estate which is both a working family farm and National Nature Reserve. Kingshill Farm sits in the middle of the Reserve, with miles of unspoilt views.
- Wildlife conservation has been central to Elmley for over 40 years. The large seasonally changing wetland is a renowned wildlife site. Elmley is home to thousands of birds, from waders to birds of prey, many of which breed successfully here.
- When walking our nature trails listen carefully for Reed Bunting, look up for Marsh Harrier and Owl and from the hides keep watch on Curlew, Lapwing, Egret and many more.We have a number of mammals on the reserve including water voles and hares.
- Each season brings its own highlights. Autumn sees mesmerising starling murmurations and arrival of the Short Eared Owl, Winter the arrival of tens of thousands of migratory wading birds and wildfowl and with them birds of prey,
- Spring the new life with fledging chicks, and leverets (baby hares), summer a chorus of Marsh Frogs, arrival of swifts and other warm weather migrants, along with butterflies, drargonflies and water vole. The sight of boxing hares in Spring is amazing
- Elmley is a great base for exploring the many well-known areas and attractions across Kent: historic towns, wonderful beaches, and amazing local food. Sheppey itself is an historic island and has some fascinating places to visit and more wildlife walks

Introducing
Gareth & Georgina Fulton
Georgina's pioneering parents worked tirelessly to create this glorious wildlife conservation site and farm. Passionate about maintaining its heritage, Georgina and Gareth came here in 2013, and instigated the accommodation side. Welcoming and hands-on hosts, they also train a committed staff who are on board with the message, and manage every aspect of this inspirational place.
A lovely visit once again! We loved staying in the Roost. Food was delicious and fresh, we look forward to our next visit
