Hide in the Downs

3 units · Glamping12 acres · England

Hide in the Downs is a unique hideaway that prides itself on offering small luxuries whilst being immersed in nature. Both our huts have outdoor bathing to watch the night stars (and listening to the many owls) and our bell tents have beautifully presented private bathing facilities. Located in the heart of the North Downs AONB, we are in arguably the remotest part of Kent with no light pollution or noise. Our sites are positioned at each corner of our property (12 acres) and total privacy is guaranteed. We have a footpath running through the heart of the wild meadow that leads into a beautiful valley taking you to the village of Doddington (30 mins) where there is a terrific pub. Or a longer walk (1.5 hours) in the opposite direction to the village of Stalisfield where The Plough pub always serves the most delicious food. Many of our guests enjoy day trips to Faversham and Whistable where they can collect some fresh fish for the BBQ, you will also find an award winning butcher in Doddington. Hosted by Tom and Charlotte, who take hosting and customer experience very seriously. A lifelong dream of running a hotel as a child, being front of house is when Charlotte is in her element and will go far and beyond to ensure you have a great stay. Tom is on hand to help with any practicalities you may need assistance with. We are passionate about wildlife and believe in leaving nature alone, you will not find a manicured setting at Hide in The Downs, instead the meadow has been left to its own, which only contributes to your hidden experience. Whoever coined "blue and green should never be seen" was blind to nature, therefore you can expect these aesthetics to be seen across all our sites. The bell tents are comfortably furnished (one double and one kingsize) and come with a DVD player and lots of movies to choose from, an oven, a gas bbq and a beautifully presented private bathroom in a converted horse trailer. Whilst the two cosy shepherd's huts boast elegant decor and luxuries required to enjoy your home comforts.

The Vacationist

1 unit · Glamping2 acres · Uckfield, England

The Vacationist offers the chance to sleep in a beautifully designed bespoke eco-cabin in your own peaceful meadow. Fully off-grid, available all year-round and with 4 comfortable berths, this is your chance to escape it all without compromising on comfort, location or eco credentials. The Vacationist has been carefully designed to balance luxury, freedom and environmental impact. We wanted to help people reduce the carbon impact of their holiday by offering them a luxurious, comfortable and relaxing alternative in the UK. This is as close to net zero travel as you can get! We also wanted our guests to experience the joy of a outdoors, off-grid escape, where the kids can run around fields and climb trees and the adults can sit around the fire drinking wine and watching the stars. This is what memories are made of. The cabin is full of eco-technology and features solar panels, infrared heating, a bio-ethanol burner, double-glazed windows, water saving technology and sheep's wool insulation. We've repurposed where we can and also worked with partners chosen for their dedication to sustainable design - you will marvel at the story of our sofas and our painstakingly-assembled (with the help of our local school) ‘coloured-pencil’ epoxy kitchen counter. And your kids will love the hidden bookcase room - it was designed by our kids for your kids, so we're confident it will go down well! The Vacationist invites you to East Sussex to holiday without damaging the planet.

Cabins in High Weald AONB guide

Overview

Covering almost 1500 square kilometres of bucolic countryside across Sussex, Kent, and Surrey, the High Weald (England’s fourth largest AONB) is dotted with elegant manors, ancient castles, and National Trust gardens. It’s also packed with adventure, from lake swimming and kayaking to refreshing walks across wide-open heaths or through dense, ancient forests. May to October are the best months for outdoor wandering, whether you’re heading for a coastal campsite, a glamping tent on a family-friendly farm, or a secluded treehouse escape for switching right off.

Where to go

East Sussex

The bulk of the High Weald AONB sits in East Sussex—a rolling southern landscape of mediaeval villages, chalk cliffs, mist-wrapped forests, and open heathland. Highlights include walking, cycling, and horse-riding in Ashdown Forest, known for inspiring AA Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories; dipping into lively south-coast towns such as Brighton and Eastbourne; and for climbers, tackling sandstone outcrops including Harrison’s Rocks. Pitch your tent by a gurgling river, overlooking moody woodlands, or by the sea near Camber Sands.

Kent

Southern Kent’s swathe of the AONB extends around the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. There are miles of cycling trails and a scented pinetum to explore in Bedgebury Forest; gorgeous protected woodlands to wander such as Hargate Forest and Tudeley Woods; and all kinds of water sports on Bewl Water, from kayaking to paddle-boarding to wild swimming. Camping delights include off-grid farm sites, glamping tents in flower-filled meadows, and shepherds’ huts gazing out on undulating hills.

Surrey & West Sussex

The western part of the High Weald AONB is all about restful valleys and rippling hills that give way to the peaceful West Sussex coast. Chichester, Arundel, and Hever Castle (where Anne Boleyn grew up) are regional showstoppers, and birdwatchers adore Weir Wood reservoir. Across this go-slow region you can set up camp everywhere from a safari-style tent in a lakeside field to a glamping pod on the fringes of the South Downs.

South Downs

A hop south from the High Weald lies the view-drenched South Downs National Park, a 1600-square-km southeastern wonderland stretching from Beachy Head near coast-hugging Eastbourne to Winchester in Hampshire. Some 3000 km of delightful rambling trails crisscross its chalk hills, including the long-distance South Downs Way, and adventure opportunities are endless, from mountain biking to paragliding.
