Waydown Shepherds Huts

Great location and Andrew was a very knowledgeable host who even recommended the best place to park on our day trip to Brighton.

Our hut was clean and cosy and our children loved being right next to the donkeys and having their own fire pit for toasting marshmallows.

The homemade cakes were delicious and a nice touch.

Even when we had a particularly rainy evening we were happy to play card games inside and have a takeout pizza from the local pub.

Really relaxing and comfortable stay a couple of nights just right. Loved sitting around the fire pit of an evening all the wood etc supplied by the really helpful owner Andrew. My wife and daughter loved the donkeys and my dog chasing a ball around! I would recommend this site if you just want to unwind.

Road noise a bit of a distraction but not a deal breaker.

Exceeded expectations. Host provides everything including firewood for bbq and fire pit so for walkers you can literally turn up with just your food and a change of cloathes.

Unfortunate traffic noise now and again

Couldn’t fault the facilities

Noise from the road was irritating at times

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Waydown Shepherds Huts. The hut was sufficient in size for a couple with a Toddler and Dog, and the location great for accessing walks across the South Downs. We also took a short 10 minute drive to Devil's Dyke for spectacular views and more hiking. The site is a short drive to Hassocks which has an Off Licence and a great Fish and Chips shop. Would definitely recommend.

Υπέροχη τοποθεσία μόλις 10 λεπτά από το κέντρο του Brighton με το αυτοκίνητο, ήσυχο μέρος όπου μας φιλοξένησαν μαζί με τα δύο σκυλιά μας, ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν υπέροχος, πολύ εξυπηρετικός και πολύ συνεννοησημος. Οι καλύβα ήταν πολύ όμορφη τίποτα λιγότερο από αυτό που είδαμε στις φωτογραφίες. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

Had a lovely relaxing stay here! Shepherds hut was very clean and cosy; bed is very comfortable and had complimentary home baked cakes on arrival!
Kitchen is well kitted out with the basics, so we were able to cook up breakfast, and sit out and enjoy the morning sun.
We lit the fire pit (already laid for us, with a bag of logs provided too!) and enjoyed sitting out in the evening.
The communal toilet and shower are both clean and shower is very hot, great after a long walk!
Andrew was very welcoming and gave us lots of tips for local walks/pubs too.

It would have been great to have had a kettle in our hut to make a coffee in the morning, but that would be the only downside.

Great place to stay if you are walking the South Downs, as you are minutes from the path, and a fab place for glamping in style!

We can’t thank Andrew enough for making our weekend away one to remember.

Both working very busy lives, we jumped at the chance to take a few days to relax around a beautiful Shepherd’s Hut - and were pleased to say it exceeded our expectations by miles.

Upon arriving, we were promptly met by Andrew to has a beautiful farmhouse located as the base of the grounds. He gave us a very comprehensive tour of the facilities, which were more than up to scratch.

Having stayed at a few “eco camp sites” over the years, we can safely say the shower, toilet and kitchen huts were the best we’ve seen. Between the hot running water, the fully stocked gas powered cooker or the pristine toilet - we can’t say which was best. Very impressive and immaculately maintained.

The Shepherd’s hut itself was an absolute dream, with everything you’d need to enjoy your stay - including cutlery, plates, cups and towels.

The addition of an indoor wood burner was a lovely touch, albeit one we didn’t make use of as our focus was on the fire pit found outside (where we spent 99% of our time).

Andrew and his wife were also kind enough to leave two little cakes which were a lovely post BBQ treat. Lovely!

Andrew was kind enough to leave us a generous supply of fire wood sources from his own land, which we made keen use of. Leaving us absolutely honking of bonfire smoke by the end of our trip and in no way is that a complaint haha!

Our hut was situated right next to the land that Andrew’s donkeys (Nancy & Dudley) live, so each morning we were met with a few friendly faces to make our breakfast even sweeter. We’d highly recommending asking for this spot as it’s also further from the main road and a bit more secluded.

All in all this was a fantastic break with everything we wanted and more. Thanks Andrew!
