Book at The Green Escape and gain exclusive use of our six acre National Trust woodland in the heart of the Surrey Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Available exclusively for groups of up to 20 people, the whole site is yours for the taking to share with your friends, family or colleagues in complete privacy. It’s the perfect place for special occasions, glamping hen parties, rejuvenating retreats, birthday celebrations or just a unique space for a group getaway. Our aim is to make your visit as stress-free and as easy as possible so we’ve tried to provide all that you need for your stay. There are seven shepherds huts to sleep in, sprinkled throughout the woodland so you’ll have enough space for a little privacy. All shepherds huts are kitted out with bedding, wood burning stoves and wood to keep you cosy. There’s a large straw bale building nestled amongst the trees, which creates a central hub for your group to gather inside for cooking, dining and general merriment. The kitchen is fully stocked, with gas hob, drinking water, utensils, crockery and condiments, there’s even a piano for an evening sing-a-long. Outside there is plenty to explore in the woods, hammocks to take advantage of and a couple of swings for the little ones. There are two BBQ’s, rustic outdoor kitchen, fire pit area with seating for those nightly gatherings under the stars and a small herb garden. A shepherds hut has been converted into two shower rooms, with vintage touches and more importantly instant piping hot water. If you can’t get enough of the great outdoors you can also shower alfresco in our eco-shower out in the woods. We are also happy to arrange BBQ baskets or breakfast hampers for your stay, please ask for details. The Green Escape is high in eco credentials but more importantly it will give you the freedom to just be. To relax and unwind so when you have to leave, you’ll leave refreshed! Prices start from £330 per night for the entire site, sleeps up to 20 people.
