About Seven Acre Woods
Escape to this peaceful campsite, nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Battle. With a no-music policy that respects the harmony of nature, you and your fellow cabiners, glampers, and campers can fully enjoy the setting and outdoor life. Situated on the outskirts of the ancient Brede High Woods, a Woodland Trust site spanning 657 acres and surrounding the picturesque Powdermill Reservoir, you will be treated to stunning views and scenery. The site offers just four grass pitches with electric hook up and a fire pit for tents only. For something more comfortable, choose the cosy glamping tents, including the Mole Hill Glamping Tent and the Mouse Nook Glamping Tent, which both sleep up to four. Both tents are in a small, quiet grass area with double beds, electric with fairy lighting, cool box, outdoor table bench, chairs with table, fire pit with grill and more. Just don't forget to bring bedding and cooking supplies (can be added on for an additional fee). The Badgers Burrow Hut is set in a secluded private area with a double bed and floor space for a travel cot or air bed. You will be supplied with cooking utensils, crockery, cool box, an indoor table, chairs and solar lighting. Outside is a kitchen prep area, BBQ/fire pit, decking area and seating. You may choose to cosy up with a book, have fun with board games from The Cubby, take a walk from the footpath through the Ancient Wood or simply relax and listen and watch the wildlife around you whilst relaxing around your fire pit with a cup of something delicious. If you're looking for a party atmosphere, this site is not for you. But if you want to time away from the hustle and spend quality time with family and friends doing as much or as little as you wish, then you've come to the right place. The site welcomes all those who want time away (including your furry family members!) to experience the rustic yet real charm of outdoor life, who respect and appreciate the great outdoors! You'll find stunning woodland walks directly from your doorstep or canvas door via the public footpath that runs through Seven Acre Woods. These walks can take you around the Reservoir, to the Village or a loop around ancient history, taking in the wildlife and fauna known in these woodlands. Dogs are welcome, however, not in glamping accommodation.
Seven Acre Woods is open from 28/03 to 30/09 in 2024 and from 01/04 to 30/09 in 2025.
The Facilities Hut houses the hot showers, toilets, and sinks, including a larger family room and accommodates all your washing needs. This is located on the grass field alongside the outdoor washing up area with a drinking water tap.
The Cubby houses the honesty store alongside other supplies such as games and books to borrow and play. There's also a freezer to refreeze your ice packs.
You can walk to the local village of Sedlescombe via the public footpaths directly from the site (several routes vary from 35 to 90 minutes). Here, you'll find the local pub, The Queens Head, and the village store where you can buy most necessities.

Really enjoyed our one-night stay at Seven Acre Woods. It was my son's first camping experience, and I really appreciated the kid-friendly attitude. We enjoyed exploring the 'Kidz Wood', and appreciated the quiet, relaxed atmosphere promoted by the park and embraced by the other visitors.

We did a 1 night stay in the glamping bell tent. We were really lucky and had the area to ourselves. We had a 30 second stroll to enter the woods, which was beautiful. There was lots of natural handmade kid games and a play area, which was great for my son aged 4. There is an honesty shop for items you have forgotten and fire pits you can pick up and place near the tents. They had two rescue goats, which my son was able to feed, which made his morning. All In all, a lovely place to visit and would come again. I will definitely be checking out the huts for our next visit, they look unreal and all handmade by the owner. Can imagine them being magical in winter near Christmas 🎄

Thank you for reviewing and so pleased you had a good time and found so much to enjoy with all we had here to offer. It's a shame we didn't score 5 star in all areas, but we would hope you would still return for that Cabin maybe! Steve, Ruth & Harrison.
