Relax in your Wood-Fired Hot Tub Under the Stars
Exerience the ultimate glamping in Sussex with hot tub experience, right next to your eco cabin. We’ve created a unique wood-fired hot tub on a farm trailer that exudes character, comfort, and provides a fantastic outdoor space for enjoying the open countryside.
The wood-fired tub encourages you to slow down and reconnect with nature. We supply the wood and the water, and you simply enjoy the fire, the magic of the Thermosiphon effect, and hours of hot tub relaxation in nature. Consistent with our sustainable ethos, the design incorporates recycled and upcycled elements, including reclaimed wood and a beautiful rusted sculpture washed up on Brighton beach. This dedication to sustainability meets comfort in your very own private hot tub lodge Sussex.
And if you are looking for a screen-free break, the hot tub takes The Vacationist’s digital detox cabin credentials to another level.
It’s all yours…
The Secret Woodland: gaze at the fire, cook, lie down and take in the trees, listen to the stream. Just chill.
The trees that make such an enchanting backdrop to your cabin have their own special spell to cast. Go through the gate and follow the path to find your secret woodland hidey-hole. Stop and listen to the wind in the trees, peak back to see the cabin’s master-bedroom triangle window peeping back. Take a seat and be at one with nature, listen to the stream tinkling past, watch for wild life going about it’s business in the banks. On sunny days the sunbeams dance across this secret cabin-side woodland and at night solar lights all around, light the leaves and branches of the canopy.
Light a fire and cook up a feast on the Espegard Fire Pan tripod, or just warm yourself and keep the fire burning late. You can keep your drinks cold in the ice bucket built into the Reel Table by the beautiful hand crafted seating. You might not want to leave when the yawns come on but it’s just a few steps back to your cosy cabin. Just come back in the morning and wake up slowly with a cup of tea or coffee, with the rest of the Secret Woodland.

'Small But Mighty'
We were so pleased to get 4 pages in the November 2023 edition of Homes and Interiors Magazine Scotland. With the tiny home movement clearly in mind, they dubbed us ‘Small but Mighty’, a tag we’ll wear with pride. They said:
“Inside there are intriguing design elements at every turn. Using repurposed and sustainable elements was of the utmost importance to Ruth and Guy, so each area was lovingly hand-built using a mixture of new FSC wood and reclaimed oak and larch.
Our focus on design, particularly using sustainable and innovative product partners such as Havwoods and Showerwall really elevates the log cabin’s interior. Read about our design journey here.
Our other gorgeous glamping accommodation: American School Bus glamping stays in Sussex!
Not just East Sussex cabin stays but also: 'Skoolie Stays' in West Sussex! The very finest American School Bus glamping.
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.
“Absolutely breathtaking!! Guy and Ruth have really created something special with the authentic Skoolie. Upon arriving we were blown away by the natural beauty of the surroundings. The bus is set within a beautiful private meadow with stunning trees! It has been lovingly created into a unique glamping experience, like no other. There is so much character and craftsmanship within the detail.
It has everything you need on board to have a warm, comfortable and fun experience. We loved lighting the log burner, playing board games and cooking tasty dishes with all the equipment we needed provided. The bus features a large couch, seating area and bedroom along with a bathroom. The bed was comfortable with plenty of room for the two of us, the bathroom had a great shower and we were so impressed to see a compost toilet! In-line with the eco friendly and sustainable vision Guy and Ruth encompass.” – Google review, Oct ’23
