  • Glamping pods for two in the East Sussex countryside
  • A 35-minute drive from Eastbourne; 40 minutes from Brighton
  • Three pubs nearby; chiminea and barbecue for each pod
Rural views but with an extra dose of comfort? Make your way to the mighty-fine East Sussex countryside, where Scallow Campsite sits in a rural spot between East Hoathly and Waldron. The glamping pods here are really rather cosy and they each sleep two (either close friends or a couple). Each one is equipped with a gas burner, refrigerator, TV and wifi, so you’ll be well set for facilities and entertainment. Supplies are on hand at a farm shop 10 minutes' drive away and there are more shops in Uckfield or Heathfield, which are both 15 minutes’ drive away. Countryside rambles? Sorted – this is an excellent base for such things. For gentler days, there are historical houses and gardens within 25 minutes’ drive of the site. As for those wanting to visit the coast (for fish and chips, a dip or a day of games by the sea, perhaps), the lively scenes at Eastbourne (35 minutes) and Brighton (40 minutes) are also well within reach. Whenever you fancy yourself a pint or a glass of rosé, or perhaps a lush dinner, it's handy to know there’s a pub 20 minutes’ walk away from the pods and another two pubs five and 10 minutes' drive away respectively. For those times when you’re taking on the role of chef yourself (or just fancy keeping warm while you sip a glass of wine), the outside of each pod has a decking area with a chiminea and a barbecue. Other handy facilities include separate showers and toilets, together with an outdoors washing-up area served by hot water.

What customers say

This immaculately clean, small and quiet campsite offers a peaceful countryside setting with excellent facilities including private, modern bathrooms. Guests highlight the helpful owner, fast WiFi, and welcome touches. A short walk leads to a friendly pub and local amenities. Minor points raised include a lack of mirrors in communal toilets, dated pillows, and limited lighting around pods during winter, though these did not detract from an overall perfect experience for many.

Liked Idyllic and peaceful location with countryside all around. The site is immaculate with good sized pitches. The facilities; shower, toilet and wash up areas are excellent and spotlessly clean.

Local attractions

Brighton (40 minutes’ drive) is a biggie for all those wanting to soak up some lively seaside scenes. Whether you go for a stroll down The Lanes, sink your teeth into the history of the Royal Pavilion, ride the British Airways i360 or head for Brighton beach and Brighton Pier, you’re bound to have an active day indeed. Hastings (50 minutes) has plenty of historical nautical-themed days out too. The town has a fishing and shipwreck museum, a Norman castle and cliff railways for views out over the big blue. If that has you begging for some more coastal views, head to Beachy Head (35 minutes), the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain. Want some rural air with your history? Pick from three National Trust sites. Bateman's (25 minutes) is a 17th-century house, Sheffield Park & Garden (25 minutes) is a landscape garden and historical house, and Standen House and Garden (35 minutes) is a historic house all about arts and crafts. Take your historic tour onto two wheels at Haywards Heath (35 minutes) too, which has Victorian and Edwardian houses and cycling routes.
