4 nights at The Downs Stables Holidays

The Downs stables is lovely place to spend quality time. All the directions were clear and precise, Theo's pod was perfectly prepared for our arrival and the premises are comfortable. We got to see many horses too. We sure will return to Ruth's land.

We’ve picked a selection of well-run camping and glamping sites and skipped the holiday parks to reveal only the very best camping hideaways. Whether you want to explore the High Weald or the South Downs, to build dens in the woods or skim stones on the beach, you’ll find a good base to pitch your tent or a place to rest your head in our collection.
