Mongolian yurt on the move, pulled by yaks

Family-friendly site in the High Weald National Landscape
A 15-minute drive from Battle and Rye; 20 minutes from Hastings
Within 10 minutes' walk of a 15th-century pub; good stargazing area

Venture deep into East Sussex countryside for a spectacular stay at Dogwood Glamping, a family-friendly site set among organically maintained surroundings in the High Weald National Landscape. Although it's based in a rural region, the site is excellently placed for day trips to beaches, ancient woodlands and famed Sussex attractions. Firstly, it's just a 15-minute drive away from Battle and Rye and 20 minutes from Hastings. Herstmonceux Castle is a 35-minute drive from Dogwood Glamping for yet more historic sites. Plus, if you like to travel by bus, the bus stop a short walk away from the site has a connection to Hastings in 35 minutes. The local village, Brede, is 10 minutes’ walk away and has a 15th-century pub (also accessible through the fields from the site; just make sure to bring a torch). In Broad Oak, 15 minutes' walk away, there is another pub, along with a bakery and a small shop. Larger supermarkets are in Hastings, within 15 minutes' drive of the site. A small store selling organic food is back at the park. At Dogwood Glamping, amenities include a hot shower and two toilets, fresh water, wash basins, a chemical disposal point and a washing-up area: do look out on your wanders for the many animals who live at the park too…

Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch (overflow)

Liked: We loved the site. It was really peaceful and tranquil and the hosts were kind and generous. We are new Moho owners so only stayed one night whilst getting used to the van.
The goats and horse are adorable and I especially loved the lack of light pollution which revealed incredible skies.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Nice flat and very quiet site

Disliked: Toilet and shower block very tired and could do with a make over although plenty of hot water. No washbasins to shave or wash in, only the washing up sink. Goats chickens and a pony wondering around the site, may be to some peoples likes but the goat poo is not so good when stepped in. Take a torch as it’s very dark when walking to the loos at night and you need to miss the animal poo.

Yurt

Liked: Felt very private with a screened off area. Private decking, seating and use of a fire bowl. Surrounded by mature trees it felt as if we were in our own quiet spot of the world.

The yurt had plenty of blankets which we used for additional warmth, easily fitted in the additional blow up beds (one double and a toddler size). Yurt had several lamps for the evening along with a kettle, toaster and mini fridge.

We used the log burner on one night (logs can be purchased from owner) which was a nice touch and made it toasty. Yurt also had a plug in radiator which came in handy.

It rained horrifically one of the days but the yurt was big enough to keep the kids occupied. Listening to the rain was beautiful and the viewing roof let in plenty of light.

We were often visited by the chickens, which the children loved. The goats visited a few times. (Note keep yurt door closed or as owner advised place fire gate to block off entrance if you want to sit with the doors open) as one goat entered and got up to some eating mischief, we did learn from that moment and it’s now a memory that our kids will no doubt always fondly bring up.

The owner was available if needed, he was very welcoming and I’d definitely revisit. Great spot to visit Rye, Bodium Castle etc

Yes the paths get muddy when weather is poor but you’re not booking a hard surfaced hotel. The toilet block was always clean and water tap available. This is a quiet site to get away from it all. No wifi - then again that can be a blessing.

We loved it.

Disliked: No dislikes

Local attractions

Mosey on over to the Brede Steam Giants (35 minutes' walk) for a display of 35-feet steam engine pumps from times gone by (just check ahead to make sure it's open). Fans of mechanical contraptions may also want a go on The Kent & East Sussex Railway running through the Rother valley and stopping 15 minutes' walk away from the National Trust’s Bodiam Castle (15 minutes' drive). Rove over to Rye (15 minutes) for bicycle hire and more countryside explores on the cycle paths and lanes. Then, head to Battle (15 minutes) to visit the site of the famed Battle of Hastings in 1066. Meanwhile, Hastings – for seaside days and nightlife – is 20 minutes’ drive away; those who’d like to take to the water might well want dips here or could travel on to Camber Sands (25 minutes) to kitesurf.
