Welcome to Furnace Brook, a tranquil 60-acre Ecosystem Restoration Community tucked away in the rolling countryside of East Sussex. Here, peace, wildlife, and connection to nature come first. Whether you’re waking up in a handcrafted lakeside cabin or camping beneath the stars, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover calm. At the heart of the land lies our beautiful lake, surrounded by native trees and wildflowers. Herons, dragonflies, and kingfishers visit often, and misty mornings give way to glowing sunsets reflected on the water. Our cabins blend simple comfort with rustic charm — natural materials and wide windows that open to birdsong. For campers, we have rural private pitches or spacious and communal spaces. It’s quiet here — no loud music, no generators, just the crackle of a fire and the sounds of nature at night. Furnace Brook is part of a working Ecosystem Restoration Community. Every stay supports rewilding and soil regeneration, helping wildlife and woodland return to the landscape. Guests are welcome to wander our trails, learn about the restoration work, or simply enjoy being surrounded by thriving nature. We also brew our own small-batch Furnace Brook Beer, made with local ingredients — the perfect companion for a lakeside sunset or a cosy evening by the fire. If you’re looking for stillness, beauty, and a genuine connection to the natural world, Furnace Brook offers it in abundance. Come to rest, reflect, and experience life at nature’s pace.

Meadow Campsite Tent Pitches

Tent pitch · Sleeps 40

The Meadow Campsite is a beautiful open field space, with designated, mown areas for tents. This creates a lovely balance of privacy and communal experience. We also have 5 polyester bell tents to hire out that are set up here during the open camping season. In the Goldcrest Glade, just through the gate from the campstie is a large polebarn which houses a fire pit, pizza oven and a sink with drinking water. This space is for shared use, as the Meadow Campsite sits just in the field beyond the Polebarn. Please note that The Shepherds Hut on the other side of the Glade may be occupied during your booking. The shared toilet block has two composting toilets, two sinks under a large mirror, and a hot shower. These facilities are shared and are less than 20 seconds walk away from the campsite. There is also recycling and food waste collection at the Composting Toilet block, however we do encourage guests to take away any non-recyclable waste from the site themselves, so we can keep the space in a clean and tidy environment.
