With close to zero light pollution, the night skies are a stunning way to end the day not to mention Far and Away sunrise and sunsets are also worth staying up for!

There is also a host of National Trust sites within a short drive including Sissinghurst Castle and many wonderful villages to visit including medieval Biddenden and the magical market town of Tenterden. Next to junction 8 of the M20 there is also Leeds Castle, only a 20 minute drive from Far and Away and the Big Cat Sanctuary is only a few fields away. At night you can hear the roar of the wild cats really making it feel like you are Far and Away!

East Grinstead, England · 1 unit
Wealderness is a small, low-density glamping retreat set within 25 acres of rewilding land in the High Weald of Sussex.
Our accommodation is scattered across woodland, meadows and streamside clearings, with plenty of space between pitches and a strong focus on peace, nature and privacy. Stay in a romantic Showman’s Carriage, a quirky Palm Springs-inspired motorhome, a shepherd’s hut, tiny caravan or one of our unique tree tents suspended among the trees.
Guests come here to slow down: cooking over firepits, relaxing in hammocks, spotting wildlife, exploring woodland paths and watching heritage steam trains pass through the landscape. Every pitch has its own character, but all share the same sense of space and connection to nature.
Wealderness is ideal for couples, friends and families looking for something more personal than a holiday park and more comfortable than traditional camping. Expect birdsong, campfires, dark skies and room to breathe.
Located in the heart of the Sussex High Weald, within easy reach of London, Brighton and the South Coast.

Weekend Trip to The Nut Plat Retreat
Wonderful stay at this rustic retreat! The hot tub was easy to use, super comfortable bed, and (very) nearby pub was delicious - even a free community curry night one evening. We were also able to charge our phones at the pub and send a quick text since the site didn't have sockets/cell service (not a bad thing just something to note)! Unlimited wood and quick responses from Duncan made this an extremely smooth-sailing glamping retreat! Extremely private-feeling as well. Will definitely return for another needed city escape :)

Beautiful campsite! It was so well maintained and cleaned by Alex. She was so friendly, welcoming and easy to reach! The showers are gas powered so there was hot water, plus they had a wonderful view - such a luxury! The glamping tent was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately the fire ban had come in before we arrived however this had no effect on our stay! Thank you so much we had a wonderful stay ❤️

It’s a lovely place with nice tents and things to do for the kids. My little one is 3 years old and she loved the bell tent and the hammocks and badminton. The cafe is lovely too. We live in London and it was very easy to reach with public transport. Maybe bring some ear plugs because you will hear airplanes.

Beautiful setting. The tents were set up inside so comfortably, shower and toilet block clean and beautifully rustic with gorgeous smelling soap and shampoo etc. Added bonus of having the firepit available with added safety precautions with current dry conditions. Great onsite cafe. So close to great walks and pubs too. Would very much recommend to friends.

Lovely peaceful paddock with a really comfortable double bed in our bell tent. Great hot showers and good facilities. We also enjoyed the hammock and swing chairs and stopping by to say hello to the chickens in the mornings! Very close to the beautiful beach at Seasalter and we really enjoyed our oysters in Whitstable too. A lovely relaxing few days, would recommend.

A fantastic place we never knew was there, just down the road from us. We wanted a couple of days away but didn’t want to travel far so this was ideal and close to the stables we were going to to ride. We felt a million miles away. Incredible set up, Charlie was great and everything was pristinely clean. The cafe was fab for breakfast.

We had such a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend it. The accommodation was comfortable , well equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. It was peaceful, private, and the perfect place to switch off for a couple of days.
The hot tub was a real highlight, especially in the evening, and the whole setting felt really well looked after. Communication from the host was excellent, with clear instructions and a smooth check-in process.
We had a fantastic experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you again!
