  • Spacious glamping site with sea views, two miles from central Brighton
  • A 20-minute walk from the beach and marina; 45 minutes from the pier
  • Regular buses stop outside for travel to the city and countryside
City, coast, country – create your own combo of all the above with a stay at Brighton Experience Freedom Glamping. The Brighton location you’ll no doubt have twigged from the name, but this site is actually two miles from the city centre, in a peaceful hillside spot with views towards the city and sea and easy access to South Downs trails for a stroll or cycle ride. Eco-friendly Brighton is big on buses, and public transport can get you out to some great spots for a walk – perhaps Devil’s Dyke or the Seven Sisters Cliffs – or drop you off at a country pub for a pie and pint. In fact, this is an all-round fab site for folk travelling by public transport, as much of what you need is provided in your digs and there are plenty of amenities and attractions within walking distance. It’ll take a leisurely 20 minutes or so to stroll to Brighton’s beach and marina from here, or you can flag down a bus to get to central attractions in around the same time. Supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and bars are all within a few minutes’ amble, too, so you can afford to travel light and forage once set up. When not out and about, there’s plenty of space to chill out on site and admire those sea views, while tending a barbie if you wish. Lots of family-friendly touches have been thrown in to make life easy: a playground, a small shop, a wifi connection and a toilet block with baby changing area and accessible facilities.

Glamping microlodge

Liked Compact and perfect for a few nights away. Competitive on price and very quiet considering you was only a 15 min walk to the very big marina

Disliked Unfortunately our pod was looking at trees but you can request a sea view. Maybe all the pods could have sea views but totally understand that the wildlife come 1st to make this place a peaceful retreat

Glamping microlodge

Liked Clean and well appointed with all that would be needed.

Disliked The tight gap between the bed when down and the furniture in the corner of the room. The outside door handle locking procedures.
The steps from the car park up.

Stella N. 1 review

Camping pod

Liked The pod was great for me as a solo camper and would be fine for a couple but I don’t personally believe there is room for two small children as the publicity says. Neither can it be two singles unless they are both only 4ft tall!

Disliked Not being able to take care of alongside the pod

Thank you for bringing your feedback regarding the interior space and bed layout to our attention, as we strive to ensure accommodation details are clearly described on our Pitchup.com listing so guests can choose the best option for their group. With regard to parking, vehicles are kept in designated parking bays nearby to preserve a peaceful, relaxing environment around the pods, with all site layout details outlined on our listing. We truly appreciate your helpful comments and look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable break in the outdoors. -Lauren

Glamping microlodge

Liked Heel proper en alles is aanwezig in het huisje. Keukentje is klein maar werkbaar. Juist voor de afwas is het wat moeilijker door de kleine lavabo en de grote kraan waardoor je heel vlug de keuken onderspat.
Heel vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaars. Hebben zelf 2 wilde dassen gezien aan het huisje.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Michael, Hartelijk dank voor uw fijne beoordeling over uw verblijf op Brighton! We zijn verheugd om te horen dat uw accommodatie zo netjes en compleet was, dat onze medewerkers op het terrein zo behulpzaam waren en wat een bijzondere ervaring dat u twee wilde dassen heeft gespot. Dank u wel voor het delen van uw opmerking over de afwas en de kraan in het keukentje; we waarderen deze praktische feedback om de faciliteiten optimaal te houden. We hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor weer een fantastisch verblijf! ~Lauren

Liked Pod was clean and site was quiet.

Disliked POD itself was OK. Smaller than expected and no useable inside seating at a table to eat etc.

The real issue is the cost for what you get. Check in is after 3 pm and check out is by 10am. So you are paying for 19hours for a days stay. The campsite itself is 1pm check in and 12pm check out.

So high price, tiny pod and restricted time doesn’t feel like value for money!

Local attractions

Buzzy Brighton is bursting with things to keep you busy for many a day. You’ll want to start with the beach, of course – wander down there in 20 minutes or so, then board Volk’s Electric Railway (the oldest of its kind in the country, no less) for a seafront ride to the city centre. Spending some time in the centre might involve poking about in the independent shops of The Lanes area, marvelling at the ornate Royal Pavilion or seeing what’s swimming at the Sea Life Centre. Those with a head for heights can see it all from 162 metres above by taking a trip to the top of the British Airways i360 Tower. Country escapades are just as easy hereabouts – the national cycle routes 2 and 20 start near the site, and buses can pick you up for valley walks at Devil’s Dyke (25 minutes’ drive) or to check out the chalk cliffs at Seven Sisters Country Park (35 minutes). If the weather threatens to dampen your days, walk down to Brighton Marina in 20 minutes for films, bowling and glow-in-the-dark golf.
