Weekend Trip to Bozedown Boltholes

Such a beautiful setting, really is private with stunning views. The check in instructions and how to find the tent were superb and made it so easy. The tent itself is amazing, really cosy and comfortable and amazing furnishings. Beds are very comfy and luxurious bedding and towels. Even the toilet toll was thick and luxurious. Loved every second of our stay.

2 nights at Milton Farm Hideaway

This is a magical place. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and the kids couldn't have been happier exploring the woods and local village and campfire cooking. Olivia shares lots of useful info and local highlights and check in was a breeze.

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Lovely camp site and very welcoming hosts! We stayed in the Foxglove tent and it was lovely. The communal kitchen has excellent amenities. There was an oven, gas hob, pizza over, bbq, plates, crockery, cutlery and things to wash up! You have your own cupboard, fridge and shower/toilet which was great! Easy to get to and not far from some great hiking spots. We had a great time and would stay again 😊

2 nights at The Hare lodge

This was our second time to Gravel Pit Farm and we would come back over and over again! The perfect glamping experience especially with children and a dog. Just what we needed to switch off for a few days. There is lots to do locally with national trust castles very close. Annabel the host is kind and friendly too.

You can get the train from London Victoria (or St Pancras International) and scoot to Haywards Heath in less than 45 minutes then hop on a bus or grab a taxi and enjoy the great outdoors and numerous local campsites in the countryside around.
