From £97 per night (Two nights minimum stay)
Description
Nestled in a pretty paddock, and sheltered by woodland, Wood and Penfold cabins offer the perfect glamping escape.
Each sleeping four people (with space for a travel cot too), they offer plenty of privacy while also providing the perfect base for family and friends on a group getaway.
The cabins are brimming with rustic charm. On the outside they are wood clad, with stable doors, chalet style roofs, and a small covered seating area. Inside they are equally simple – with handmade or reclaimed furniture and accessories
A small kitchen area with gas hob and grill make rustling up breakfast a breeze – or you can embrace the camping experience more fully and cook up a storm outdoors with your own firepit. A shared covered kitchen and washing up area for both cabins completes the picture.
Children will love the chance to roam free in safety, or to meet the resident donkeys, goats and sheep.
The stunning scenery of Swallowtail Hill Farm, and the enveloping peace and quiet of the High Weald may mean you never want to leave this little slice of paradise – but if you can tear yourself away, then medieval town of Rye, or the sandy beach of Camber Sands are only about a 15 minute drive.
