Add your business details- Luxury sole-use rural retreat for two in the East Sussex countryside
- A 15-minute walk to Robertsbridge; 25 mins' drive to Rye or Hastings
- Separate sleeping and living huts surrounded by enclosed garden
Peace and quiet are in plentiful supply at The Challoners – this is an exclusive-use site on an East Sussex farm, so it’s likely that the only noise you’ll hear is the chatter of the Canada geese landing on the lake about 200 metres away…
Your domain consists of two bespoke huts, kitted out for two guests (and a dog too if you like) and providing everything you’ll need for a comfy countryside break. One of the huts is the ‘living’ hut, with a kitchen area, a shower room and a lounge space with squishy sofa. There’s underfloor heating for cool days, and on warmer ones you can wander through the French doors onto the deck for breakfast with a view.
A few metres away is the ‘sleeping’ hut, with a luxurious double bed and an ensuite bathroom (with rolltop bath); it’s all kept cosy by underfloor heating and an antique-style stove. Both huts are enclosed within a private garden, which has a fire area, outdoor seating and a hammock and also makes a safe place for a dog to have a run about.
Hide yourselves away here for the duration of your stay if you like – or get out and about. The village of Robertsbridge is 15 minutes’ walk away for a gastropub, a coffee shop/bakery, a shop and an award-winning Indian restaurant. Alternatively you can simply stroll along the farm’s footpaths (at their finest in spring, when the ancient woodland bursts with bluebells) or borrow maps and guide books to find walking trails nearby.

Local attractions
Pootling around on the farm and in its surroundings is a lovely way to spend time, but there’s plenty around if you want to explore further. Bodiam Boating Station (20 minutes’ drive) is the place to hire boats and canoes to paddle on the River Rother, or you may like to head to The Hub @ Quarry Farm (15 minutes) for watersports, archery, outdoor fitness classes or spa treatments.
Heading south, it won’t take long to get to the coast for a stroll around the ancient town of Rye or a game of crazy golf and a chip supper in Hastings (both 25 minutes). Camber Sands (35 minutes) is a good place for a paddle and a scramble through the sand dunes.
For other options, take a look at walks in Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest (15 minutes), history-themed days at Battle Abbey and the 1066 Battle of Hastings site (10 minutes) or a wander around Rudyard Kipling’s former home at Bateman’s (15 minutes). Gardens like Pashley Manor Gardens (10 minutes) and Sissinghurst Castle Garden (half an hour) are close by too.
