Fancy something a bit different? The Original Hut Company offer a quaint and quirky twist on camping with 10 ‘Shepherd Hut’ type living huts, with a little luxury thrown in, and a wash hut with hot showers to share. Sited on the lovely family run Quarry Farm the huts are nestled in ancient woodland, surrounded by acres of countryside, and a river for wild swimming and paddle boarding. There's an onsite cafe with play area too.

About this place

Best bits

  • Great location for trips to Hastings, Bedgebury Pinetum and more.
  • On site cafe and play area with all day menu and pizza nights in summer.
  • Stroll along the River Rother to Bodiam Castle or the local pub.

Top tips

  • Lots of bird and wildlife lives on the site, so budding Attenboroughs should bring their binoculars.

About the owners

Anna & Nick

Listed since April 2010

Since 2008 we have been rewilding and rejuvenating our farmland and woodland to create a truly biodiverse habitat, and a unique, immersive place for you to stay. On average, we plant 3000 trees each year. You can stay with us safe in the knowledge that we are working hard to minimise environmental impact.

If you would love to unplug, have a digital detox, reduce stress and boost your wellbeing with our green spaces and river activities, we’d love to host you here.

Owner recommendations

  • Nearby Bedgebury Pinetum is fantastic for kids. It has several woodland playgrounds, extensive cycle routes and acres of woodland to walk in.

  • A trip to Camber Sands beach is a lovely day out. The beach is sandy, wide and near to the ancient town of Rye.

  • National Trust Scotney Castle is just a 20-minute drive from the site. It has a packed family activities schedule and fantastic gardens waiting to be explored.
