About the site


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. For something more comfortable, choose the Mole Hill Glamping Tent and the Mouse Nook Wooden Tent, which both sleep up to four. Both are in the small, quiet grass area with double beds, single futon style/day beds, electric, including a kettle and lighting . Or The Badgers Burrow, off-grid for 2 in its own private and secluded area with a small double bed, solar lighting with a cute table and chairs and plenty storage and a great outside area. All Glamping units come with bedding, outdoor cooking facilities and all the equipment needed to cook, prepare and eat including a cool box, outdoor table bench, chairs with table, fire-pit with grill and more. 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 The Mole Hill.

A note from the site themselves...

Camping is what we have always loved to enjoy with family and friends, and we've had many a tent before we upgraded to a classic old motorhome for a little more 'luxury'!

We loved just to get up and go! Over the last few years of camping, we decided we wanted land, woodlands, and beautiful surroundings, and we wanted to run our own place for others to come camp, glamp and cabin!

Here is a place for relaxing, recharging, exploring and enjoying in an area where you can do so with ease and welcome the nature and beauty of where we are and what we have around us is top on the agenda.​

From wild garlic and bluebells in the spring to the changing trees and bursting wild mushrooms throughout the seasons, along with sightings of deer, wild rabbits, pheasants, and kestrels, the natural beauty and wildlife are captivating here.

We live and work onsite at Seven Acre Woods... some 'work from home' but our 'home is work'! Incredibly proud we are of what our dream has become and trust too your stay here will too be a dream for you!

We hope to have thought of all you may need to create wonderful memories and to make your stay and experiences carefree, relaxing and enjoyable!

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

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.

Bell Tent - The Mole Hill Glamping TentSep 2023

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.
