Hassle-free outdoor stays in a peaceful location with easy access to pubs, cream teas, wild swims, woodland walks… you’ll need to head to the Himalayas for that. Not the actual Himalaya mountains, but secluded glamping site The Holmsted Himalayas in the West Sussex countryside. This quiet spot in the Ouse Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is up on a ridge so it’s got gorgeous views over the surrounding area, and is often treated to fine sunsets too (and some great stargazing after dark). The immediate surroundings are all woodland, open space and lakes to roam around, and the site has its own swimming pond where you can take a freshwater dip. Secluded this place may be, but it’s not cut off at all – there are a couple of pubs a mile or so away (with more pubs, cafés and restaurants in nearby villages like Warninglid and Cuckfield) and large supermarkets are in Haywards Heath, 10 minutes’ drive away. Plenty of days out are easy to get to as well: botanic gardens, National Trust properties, watersports, wine tasting… take your pick… And what of the accommodation? You’ll be staying in comfortable bell tents kitted out with thick foam mattresses, with soft bedding, rugs, lighting and an outdoor firepit (with home-produced firewood available from the farm). A short walk away is the communal stretch tent, which has shared facilities like fridges and kettles plus mains power for charging your devices.

Likte: This place is beyond awesome! The tents have everything you need to have a comfortable stay, amenities are handy and well maintained and the swimming pond is a major win. Would definitely recommend to all - we went there with our 3 year old who loved it but there was a real mix of families/couples/ages there. Close enough to a major train station for us to bike to the site but enough out in the country side to feel like you are getting back to nature.

Likte ikke: Nothing - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Likte: Clean facilities, plenty of little helpful extras like hand wash, kettle and outdoor games. Canoeing on the lake was great fun.

Likte ikke: Freezer didn't work. One selling point was the ability to charge phones in the communal tent but there was actually only one free plug for everyone staying on the site to share

Anbefal til venner Besøker gjerne igjen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. There's actually around 6 or 7 spare plugs in the stretch tent (there's a 5-way extension reel on the ground next to the fridges that has nothing else plugged into it) - we are at the site or very near all the time so please don't be afraid to ask someone if you have any issues like this and we can help!

Beautiful site - well run, with very kind and friendly staff.…

Likte: Wonderful wonderful bell tent site. What a game changer to have a refrigerator and Kettle, as well as power to charge those teens' lifelines. Lots of varied options of communal seating which positively encourages friendly interaction among campers. The bell tents have futon mattresses which for me was a plus, as I prefer the truer camping experience but cannot manage the load that becomes of bringing tents and bedding as I don't drive. The swimming pond was lovely, despite my personal uncertainties with ping swimming, plus the use of two kayaks was exceptional. Many games around; badminton net, table tennis, chess, giant jenga and we were even treated to two space hoppers on the second day. The toilets were clean, regularly serviced, and well lit, and the showers were hot and powerful, with a helpful changing portion to them. This was by and far the best campsite I've stayed in, certainly in terms of facilities, way beyond expectations.

Likte ikke: The only improvement that could be made is the directions. We had a little trouble finding the entrance in the taxi, as Google maps was suggesting an entrance across a hedge and fields. Luckily we had a lovely cabbie who turned the fare off while we tried different approaches until we found it. Directing a cab driver to collect us was also tricky, as he drive into a different entrance, as directed by the post code on maps. I don't know how this could be remedied, but it would help others I'm sure.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your kind review, I'm glad you had a lovely time. Getting google maps to set the entrance to the site has been extremely difficult as the entrance track is not mapped yet (it was only put in 2 years ago); I have made multiple attempts to use their flagging feature to highlight where the entrance is, but thus far haven't had any luck (this seems to be the only way to change the entrance via google maps!). The site straddles 2 postcodes which both contain multiple driveways and cover an incredibly wide area given our rural location.

Amazing views, clean facilities, the pond with kayaks was lots of fun,…

Veibeskrivelse av ruten

Please use 'The Courtyard' entrance on Staplefield Road (not the Holmsted Farm entrance). The Courtyard is located 30 metres south of the Holmsted Farm entrance, on the same side of the road as the farm driveway and up the hill. Head into the courtyard and turn left through the middle of the car park. There is a wooden gate in the top right-hand corner. Drive through the gate, past the caravan site and turn left up the hill alongside the dog-walking field.

Lokale attraksjoner

Getting out for walks or bike rides is a fine idea around here – there are plenty of trails to follow in this scenic area, including popular ones that take in the huge arches of the Ouse Valley Viaduct (10 minutes’ drive). Golf is another great way to get out into the open air, at the courses in Cuckfield (two minutes) or Haywards Heath (10 minutes). Something a bit more active? Perhaps you’d like to get out onto the water for some kayaking, sailing or windsurfing at Ardingly Reservoir (15 minutes), or have a go at things like clay pigeon shooting, archery or axe-throwing at Q Leisure in Albourne (10 minutes). It doesn’t all have to be active though – more relaxing days are on hand at Nymans (five minutes), a National Trust estate with gorgeous gardens to explore, and Leonardslee Lake & Gardens (10 minutes), where you can meet the wallabies as well as exploring the grounds. And of course there’s always the option of taking a tour at Bolney Wine Estate (10 minutes) – and perhaps picking up something for your evening by the firepit?
