Alfriston Woodland Cabins - From moving to Alfriston in 2018, after many months of planning, five storms and lockdown our plans and dreams became a reality in July 2020 when the two oak framed woodland cabins, Badgers Rest and Foxes Hollow, could finally open.
We built the beautiful cabins on the footprint of an old forest school and summer house which had become dilapidated. Always having a dream of living in a safe environment with our son, surrounded by nature.
Subsequently Robins Retreat arrived in August 2022, the first of three Shepherds Hut within our orchard rather than in the woods, with views over the Cuckmere Valley. The second Hut, Woodpecker Hill, arrived during June 2023, and more recently our third and final Shepherds Hut Owls Nest arrived in July 2024
Within this dream, sharing the beautiful scenery of the South Downs National Park, enhancing wildlife, creating long lasting memories for guests, growing vegetables, keeping farm animals, and living off the land. All of this and much, much more!
To become a carbon neutral business is also a vision to help retain and restore the world we live in, and our journey is now well underway.
We are a small family business, and whilst we are not around all of the time, we will do our very best to help you before and during your stay. We also offer transfers for our guests (subject to availability) for local pick ups, so why not leave the car at home. We will let you know costs as part of your booking, should they be required.
We hope to see you soon xx
