Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing holiday nestled in the East Sussex countryside. The site is lucky to be set in the small village of Brede, just a short stroll over the fields to two excellent pubs. There are 15 grass pitches, 10 without electric and 5 with electric. These are suitable for campers with units up to 6m long, and each can take up to two adults with three children. For glampers, there are a couple of options to choose from. The bell tent sleeps up to two people in two single beds, but guests must bring their own bedding. Additionally, there is a mini fridge, kettle, heater and outside you'll have your own fire pit and seating. The spacious glamping yurt sleeps up to two adults and two children in two single beds, these can also be pushed together to make a double. There is room for children's sleeping mattresses but these are not provided. Please bring your own bedding. Inside there are cosy furnishings such as a wood-burning fire, as well as a mini fridge and kettle. Outside is a private decking with a fire pit and picnic bench seating. The cabin is great for those wanting something a little sturdier. Sleeping up to two adults and a child under 12 in a double futon bed, but please bring a camping mat and bedding for the child. All bedding and linen is provided and you'll have your own compost toilet. The cabin is complete with beanbag seating, a writing desk, mini-fridge, kettle and a heater. Through the sliding doors, you'll find your private decking with a fire bowl, cooking tripod and seating. There is also a static caravan available to hire. There are wonderful woodland and field walks straight from the site. In the evening you can enjoy stargazing, all thanks to magnificent dark skies as there are no street lights! During your stay you can hire out fire bowls. There are logs, firelighters and locally made vegan organic marshmallows available to purchase. These can be brought separately or in a 'campfire package'. A safe and friendly site for children of all ages, little ones particularly enjoy the free-roaming ducks and chickens!

A note from the site themselves...

Here at Dogwood, we live in harmony with the environment and try, as far as possible, to operate an organic, sustainable and environmentally-friendly campsite. We ensure we recycle all rubbish and power the electric hook-ups partly using solar energy.

We hope you find our site to be a magical place in which to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature and the charming birdsong. You can spend hours watching the wild rabbits, the free-range chickens, Cayuga, Indian Runner and Muscovy ducks or getting to know our pygmy goats and miniature Shetland pony. We all hope to welcome you soon, Katy and Phil

Yurt - YurtAug 2024

Me and my friend stayed in the yurt for 2 nights. It is beautiful and authentic. The beds were comfy and had heating for the beds that could be put on to a setting that you required to warm the bed up as it was a bit chilly in the night. Would recommend staying here as we will probably go again.

Lovely weekend break

Glamping Cabin - Glamping CabinAug 2024

Lovely, quiet site. Nice to have our own area and fire pit. Bed not particularly comfy but other than that the accommodation was as expected and not too small or poky. Was glad of the composting loo so wasn't too far away in the night!

Beautiful yurt good location

Beautiful huge yurt. Plenty of space for a family of 4. Warm, cosy and comfortable. Location is good for a variety of days out from beaches to walks. We loved the Broad Oak pub too.
