Stay at Forest Edge

Μου άρεσε Where do I start?! From the second I arrived, everything just felt right with the world!!

Helen welcomed me and showed me around. Everything was pristine and well thought out.

An amazing homemade cake and apple juice waiting for me as well!

I spent time in and around the shepherds hut, hiking in the forest and sitting by the fire pit each evening, soaking in the surroundings.

You would struggle to find anything else that you would need, but Helen is so approachable, I wouldn’t have hesitated to ask.

I had mixed weather during my stay, which wasn’t a problem at all. The shepherds hut was so cosy, and very comfortable. The outside area and the fire pit was naturally sheltered with the trees, giving me the option to be outside too.

Bedgebury forest and pinetum is just next door and accessible from the site. There is Go Ape which is a 5 minute walk too. Scotney Castle is an 8 minute drive which I visited on my way home.

All in all, an amazing stay, and I will definitely be booking again. Forest Edge are open all year round, so I look forward to experiencing the different seasons there.

Δεν μου άρεσε Only booking two nights!!

Μου άρεσε A beautiful place. We stayed in the Yeoman hut, which was comfortable and warm and quite spacious. We were easily able to cook, and there’s bbq, fire pit, and lovely areas to sit and listen to the birds. There’s chickens and rabbits prancing around too.

The forest and Pinetum are next door, a walk away. Bewl Water is another lovely walk. And there’s nice farm shops. Many castles and mansion estates too.

Helen and her family are very welcoming and have put a lot of care into the place.


(No wifi that we were aware of but very good mobile signal, if you really need it)

Μου άρεσε Very cozy and tidy cabin nestled among the trees at the edge of Bedgebury Forest. Helen welcomes you with cake, apple juice, and marshmallows. The sanitary facilities are spotless. Bedgebury Forest is just a stone's throw away, with plenty of beautiful walks in the surrounding area. We stayed here for a midweek. This is the English countryside at its best.

Δεν μου άρεσε The A21 is nereby and you can hear the traffic, but it didn't bother us.

Μου άρεσε Myself and my 12 year old son absolutely loved our stay over the last few days, especially with the added bonus of visiting the family horses and chickens each day!
What a lovely setting and an ideal local location for walking into Bedgebury Forest and driving down to Hastings for the day.
Being able to book just a couple of nights was perfect. Especially coming on my own for the first time.
All of the facilities were clean and perfectly located.
We stayed in the Shepherds Hut which was beautiful inside and out.
We will be returning !!

Μου άρεσε The hospitality was first class. You turn up and welcomed with a fresh bottle of apple juice and a home made victory sponge cake 🎂 in your tent 🏕️. Also anything you need like charcoal which we run out of was supplied. All you had to do was ask the host. Nothing was to much.

Μου άρεσε Really enjoyed our stay, the tent was very pretty inside and out, decorated with fairy lights and subtle lighting inside. The tent was warm and cosy, and comfortable bed. We were provided with all the utensils we needed in the outdoor kitchen, and a good sized bbq. The firepit was lovely and we were given plenty of wood. The host left tea, coffee, sugar and a delicious homemade Victoria sponge cake. The toilet and shower facilities were immaculate. Location was excellent with private access to bedgebury forest. Can't comment on WiFi as turned phone off..bliss!

Μου άρεσε The Yorrick Bell tent was a good size for our family - we had room to comfortably spread out, sit and read, tables inside and out for meals etc.
The tent is water tight - don't let a rainy forecast put you off! We had a wet and sometimes windy 3 day stay, but all good.
Loved that we were camping in Helen's backyard surrounded by forest as opposed to a big impersonal campsite. Rabbits, squirrels and bird song. Lovely night skies
A BBQ, firepit and gas camp stove were provided - lots of options for outdoor cooking fun - the kids loved trying these.
Great location with so much to do in the area - Go Ape, cycling through the forest, Sissinghurst Garden, Scotney Castle, farmshops with fresh plump cherries and apple juice!
Helen was a wonderful host who made us feel very welcome and was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Δεν μου άρεσε Although it's glamping and comfortable, it's still good to pack for camping - pack a torch, easy to put on shoes to walk across the wet grass to the bathroom/small fridge, storage box for your food, eye mask if you stay during the summer and want to sleep in.
You will hear the traffic on the A21, but it won't keep you wake.
