About Big Sky Tipi Holidays
Set in a two acre meadow, part of 23 acres of fields and woodland, this charming glamping site offers guests the chance to switch off. Sit back, unwind and take in the views, or take the short ten minute drive to the nearest beach and enjoy a day by the Sussex seaside. With only eight units, the small glamping site will never be too crowded, so everyone has the chance to enjoy some peace and quiet. Each of the authentic Sioux Indian tipis comes hand painted, with its own unique charm. Six tipis can sleep up to six guests, dependent on the mix of adults and kids, equipped with a double futon with a feather topper, along with two single futons/air beds. All come with a pillow, bedding and linen so you can travel light! To ensure a nice cosy stay, the interiors also come finished with rugs, floor cushions and bean bags. All cooking equipment will also be provided, including cutlery, glasses, pots, pans, cups, plates and BBQ utensils. When the sun is shining, you will also have your own outdoor area with seating to enjoy. For the Large Tipis, this includes a BBQ and campfire, and for the Tipis this includes a BBQ, bean bags, a gas stove, cool box and campfire. Shared facilities, including loos and showers, can also be found nearby, including a communal fridge. The site also sells their own fresh eggs and local sausages and burgers, perfect for cooking up on the BBQ! Dogs are also welcome to join you for your stay.
