About Missing Link Glamping

Ideally located in a 320 acre private countryside estate with a brewery, amongst the Sussex Downs. A lovely choice for anyone looking to switch off and reconnect with nature and each other. Home to ten camping pods, each insulated with underfloor heating for year round stays and featuring a wood fired hot tub with the logs provided.

Each has a well equipped kitchenette with a fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, oven, hob, mugs, glasses, crockery, tea, coffee, milk, sugar and a great range of cooking utensils. Six of the pods are ideal for four people with a double bed and a sofa bed. For larger family bookings of up to six the large pods have a double bed, sofa bed and two bunk beds ideal for children. The estate often hosts weddings amongst the grounds so for a true romantic getaway there is a unique bridal suite pod (primate pod). Perfect for up to two adults with just one double bed. If the local countryside calls to you, why not join the sites resident ranger Ross on a wilding and foraging walk, or Tim The Linden Countryman for some Bushcraft skills. Each pod has a fire pit which can double as a BBQ. Please note, disposable BBQs are prohibited and BBQs are not allowed on the deck area. Just a 5 minute walk from the site is the Missing Link Brewery, where you try the range of beers, IPAs and ciders from the apples grown from the Orchard. The Tap Room hosts local food trucks where you can indulge in a range of fantastic foods, there are also brunches and roasts available to book on the weekends. All pods have their own private wood fired hot tub. This will be filled with water and a sack with kindling, logs, fire lighters and matches will be ready for you. All larger pods welcome dogs as do three of the smaller pods.

Missing Link Glamping is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

Our glamping site and brewery is based on 360 acres of farm and woodland. We are acutely aware of the effects of climate change and the effects our production of craft beers can potentially have. Because of this, we do all we can to be as eco friendly as possible.

We have many re wilding projects going on but the one that we are most involved in is the tree planting project. Ross, the full-time ecologist here is curating the project to ensure that the correct trees are planted in the environment that best ensures they will not only survive but thrive and support the surrounding ecosystem.

We always have solar panels on the roof of the brewery to provide a substantial amount of our power. Chiddinglye is also home to 30 acres of solar farm that feeds the national grid. All our hot water and heating is provided by a wood chip boiler fed by wood produced on the farm from timber bought in by local tree surgeons and from coppicing the woodland here.

We hope we get to welcome you soon and you also get to sample some of our delicious beers too, Edmund

Camping Pod - Bonobo Ensuite Glamping Pods with Hot Tub (Dog Friendly)Nov 2024

A great spot to unwind and enjoy great food and drink. The pod was kitted out with everything we needed, plus the underfloor heating was super powerful (even though it was really chilly) and the ensuite was lovely (and the shower nice and warm too). We enjoyed great food and drink at the tap room (which was brilliant for dogs) and I highly recommend a slice of cake and a burger from the visiting food truck. A wonderful stay all round!

Just what you want
