The Original Hut Company, Bodiam, East Sussex

Using reclaimed and recycled materials wherever possible, our huts are built on the farm by us. The only electricity on the site is provided for lighting via a solar panel. We have two sites which both have 4 living huts; each sleeping up to 5 people. We are able to populate one of our sites with bell tents to increase the number of accommodation units available. The huts are available for weekend or mid week breaks.

Each site homes a communal covered area with a little pole barn which is used as a communal camping covered area with a huge table in case the Great British weather is being a little unkind (good old Blighty). The communal wash hut is sited between the 4 living huts and houses two loos and two amazing, hot, gas fired showers. The huts are fully insulated and double glazed. Heating is provided by a small gas heater meaning we can offer warm and cosy accommodation throughout the year.

We are based in the heart of the High Weald in Rural East Sussex. We are blessed with a huge wealth of historic towns, houses and gardens. The Kent and Sussex steam railway runs into our 200 acre farm and a short stroll across the fields leads you to Bodiam Castle. A little ferry runs from a jetty at the Castle and can take a group of up to 16 people down the river to the next pub down stream.

Groups are also well catered for at Go Ape in Bedgebury forest - a 15 minute drive from the site. We have some great food and wine experiences very locally, with the Curlew Restaurant in the village and The Lighthouse Bakery School in the lane opposite our drive. The Castle Inn on the edge of the farm is very accommodating to groups and will work out a pre-bookable set menu.

We also have an award winning organic vineyard in walking distance great for an afternoons wine tasting. We are able to run foraging, forest school, team building, basketry and pottery courses on site and also have a falconer who will come in to take groups for a Hawk Walk round the farm.

We run an on site cafe, shop & meeting space called The Hub. It is designed to meet the needs of a small rural community, as well as guests to the village. It offers a wealth of different catering options.
