Sussex Luxury Glamping

February 12, 2025

We provide a range of gorgeous glamping options. Our bell tents, located in private clearings, feature wood-burning stoves and toilet and shower facilities. At the top of the glamping scale, our safari tent sits in a sunny woodland glade and includes 2 bedrooms & a double cabin bed, a wood-burning range, a hot shower, and hot water, and a fantastic outside pizza oven! This setup delivers the ultimate luxury camping experience.

The Cabin, designed and built by William Hardie Designs and inspired by architect George Clarke, showcases local resources and timber from our ancient coppice woodland. Channel 4 filmed the

entire process for the third series of George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces. The Cabin includes a large wood-fueled hot tub, perfect for relaxing together.

The Wagon, our charming gypsy caravan, provides a cozy retreat for two. It features a wood-fired hot tub crafted from a Victorian cast iron water trough. You can soak in the tub under the stars in your private woodland clearing, sitting in the hot tub watching the stars in your secluded woodland clearing will shake off the city blues.

Our newest addition, The Shepherd’s Hut, makes a fantastic family option. It sleeps four, with a cool loft bed for two children and a sofa that converts into a large double bed. Inside, you’ll find a walk-in wet room with a hot shower and running water. The tree-bog toilet, designed to look like a tiny chapel, sits tucked away in the corner of the clearing. Like all our accommodations, The Shepherd’s Hut features a private woodland clearing with a fire pit, outdoor seating, and a table on a spacious deck.

We carefully place all our accommodation, nestled in secluded woodland clearings. Unlike many other sites, we ensure you aren’t crowded into a field with no privacy. Our site immerses you in the woodland, allowing you to reconnect with nature, unplug from technology, and escape urban life. check out the farm map with a virtural tour which gives you a great sense of where everything is on the farm.
