Relax and unwind amongst the blissful simplicity of nature, in a grown-ups only log cabin privately set within an East Sussex Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Boasting serene views across sheep-dotted fields, all the way towards the shimmering Bewl Water reservoir, Downash Wood Treehouses could be well-described as paradise in nature.

The site’s 33 acres of land and woodland comprises an enchanting collection of bespoke, gorgeously-named retreats, each one privately secluded in a designated East Sussex Area of Outstanding Natural beauty, no less.

Their latest creation, Daisy Chain Cabin, is a celebration of cosy simplicity… perfect for a romantic couple who want to reconnect with nature, and each-other. Proudly set atop a sandstone quarry wall, you can relax and enjoy magnificent, ever-changing rural views.

Filled with sensory treats and high-end facilities, the spacious, high-ceilinged cabin itself has the feel of a luxury chalet, complete with butter-soft seating and a log-burner to warm your evenings.

Relax in the bespoke ‘reading corner’, gainfully equipped with a sumptuous leather armchair and a well-stocked book-cabinet, or head out to your huge, covered deck and get lost in nature’s joyous soundtrack.

While you’re outside, why not switch on the soft fairy lights, then fill up the al fresco bath for the most indulgent stargazing bubble-soak imaginable? There’s also a vintage double rocking chair for long, lazy afternoons in the sun, and a Ooni wood-fired pizza oven to help you rustle up mouth-watering suppers.

You could also opt for trout-fishing in the reservoir, then cooking up the resulting catch – together with aromatic herbs foraged from the woods – on your double firepit, built with sandstone from the quarry.

But if you prefer cooking inside, no problem. The cabin’s gleaming, fully-fitted kitchen comes with everything a budding chef could want, including a standard-size oven and hob, a fridge… and of course, those all-important items, a kettle and a dishwasher.

When it’s finally time for sleep, there’s a downy kingsize bed all ready and waiting. The bedroom also features a vintage gentleman’s wardrobe, and an ornate dressing table, complete with mirror and hairdryer, to make you feel like a classic movie-star.

Savour your first coffee of the day out on the veranda, which runs the entire length of the cabin, then freshen up in your rainfall shower room… complete with ‘proper’ flushing loo.

What you do next is completely up to you. Will you lace up your walking boots and explore the reservoir’s idyllic 12.5-mile route, or maybe enjoy a drink in Ticehurst’s award-winning country pub?

You could even jump in the car and enjoy a day on the beach at Hastings, Camber Sands or Rye, or visit an iconic landmark such as Hever, Scotney or Bodiam Castle.

Or… you could simply brew another coffee, then sit back and enjoy the soothing atmosphere and the stunning views at Daisy Chain Cabin for just a little while longer.
