Why choose The Vacationist Cabin for your next glamping break?

This off-grid and eco-conscious cabin brings rare style, design and comfort to a secluded private field in beautiful Sussex. Less than an hour from London, with nearby Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne and the South Downs National Park on the doorstep, it’s a special location for a break with the kids, or a loved one. Offering activities on site, and nearby, or just to be your cosy bolt-hole for a few days of soaking up the natural environment, The Vacationist is a stunning cabin whatever your motivation. 

The accommodation is spacious and surprising. A king size bedroom is at one end, facing west and looking out onto trees, with a secret hidden bunk bedroom at the other. The living room with a real bio fuel burner has two cosy sofas, with a head-turning dining and kitchen area. Large triple bifold doors open out onto a large sun deck and the rising wild field, that’s all yours for your relaxing stay.

Our other property: 'Skoolie Stays' - Wonderful in West Sussex

Our first glamping experience is going strong in beautiful West Sussex. This beloved converted American school bus, Skoolie Stays, launched in June 2021.  It was inspired by a family gap-year travelling 14,000 miles across America. Living off-grid, getting closer to nature and each other, was an incredible experience and so positive for our physical and mental health.  When we returned to the UK, we shipped a bus over to convert ourselves so that others could enjoy it too.

“The Vacationist also offers that balance of off-grid living, comfort and luxury, but it also has a new focus: the environment. We wanted to prove a carbon-neutral holiday did not mean compromising on your idea of what a holiday means. It’s style and comfort all the way!

We’ve just had a wonderful couple of days at Skoolie Stays and what a treat it was. Everything about the bus is just perfect, from the comfy beds and hot shower to the whistling kettle, the worktop and bus seats to sit on to eat. All the little details and touches were so well thought out, things like the little curtain to go up around the bunk beds (so we could hide from our kids as they fell asleep!) the shelves above the bed and the bits of wood to pop your hot pans on as well as the swings tied to the trees. You can tell that so much thought, love and care has been put into it. We absolutely loved it, the highlight being waking up to sunshine and the kids running about on the grass in their PJs with no one else around - having our own private field was just magic. Thank you Guy and Ruth, you’ve chosen such a wonderful location and we loved reading all about your road trip and all the work you put your Skoolie. You’re an inspiration! We’ll definitely be back 🙂 xxx

Fantastic, quirky couple of nights away. The bus was spotlessly clean, beautifully designed and super cosy. We loved every minute and would definitely return and recommend. White Lion Inn 10/10 too! You WILL need wellies! Well done Skoolie Stays team!

Enjoyable stay which was very relaxing and comfortable; loved the log burner and fire pit. Great to have info on where to visit locally. Would highly recommend. Thanks Guy and Ruth, you've done a great job converting the bus, lots of quirky features, homely feel and idyllic location x

What a fabulous restful and fun place for the family or a couple to take a break from it all. The creature comforts and quality of everything in the bus is just fantastic. The owners really have gone the extra mile. And the location is great for walks in the woods and even a 30 min evening walk to a bistro pub should you not want to cook. Log burner evenings , sunny breakfast on the old school brekkie table and a swing on the rope swing in the meadow is all that’s needed. It is lovely and I’d while heartedly recommend it. Especially loved reading the books Guy and Ruth wrote about their own trip around the US and Canada for a year in a bus just like it before they converted this one for us to stay in. Myself, my wife and kids loved it. Will do it again for sure. Thanks Skoolie stays. 🙂

Stayed on the funky bus for 3 days last week. Was magic. Super comfy, amazing location. Felt like I properly escaped. Host was very helpful too.

We had such a fantastic stay on the Skoolie. The location is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. The kids loved the bunk beds and having a field to themselves! The beds were really comfortable. The space has been used so cleverly- the bus has everything you could need for a winter or summer stay, all amazingly presented and clean. We all loved our stay, thank you Ruth and Guy!

Our weekend stay was AMAZING. The comfiest bed, most beautiful surroundings, an exquisite transformation with such attention to detail that kept us enticed as we found more of them throughout our stay, and the wood burner was to die for. Guy and Ruth were most communicative and although we had no problems, they were still most hospitable and readily available. Take your wellies and enjoy!

I can’t recommend this Skool bus enough (wherever it may be placed). This was the first ever break with just me and my two children (10 and 5) since becoming a trio and I wanted something different for us to stay in. We love camping and being in the isle of no where but for an October break I wanted some comfort. The children didn’t know where we were staying and both were speechless on arrival not knowing how you would sleep on a bus, my 5 year old kept on saying “I can’t believe we’re sleeping/eating/living on a bus” at various points of the trip. It was beautifully decorated and I love reading the history of the bus and the various touches within both to its history and the owners own ethics towards the environment and the impact. It had everything and more that we needed for the trip and great little touches (I need a bed side mug shelf) Location was amazing to explore the South Downs way. We will be coming back, wherever it shall be.
