The Original Hut Company Shepherd’s Hut Eco Stays, Riverside Campsite, Exclusive Hire Campsites, Cafe - Bodiam East Sussex

Wander through the orchards to the National Trust’s Bodiam castle and the local pub; take a ferry ride down the river, hop on a steam train, take part in adventure activities or just relax in front of the camp fire and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Hand built by Nick here on the farm in the tiny village of Bodiam in East Sussex, our Shepherds Huts are based on the idea of an old Shepherd’s hut.

What makes them unique in today’s market is that (in true agricultural fashion) they are built using reclaimed, recycled and locally sourced materials wherever possible. The aim of this is to make them of the lowest possible environmental impact. Bring your own tent, or alternatively we have beautiful tin tabernacles available for hire, that will be all set up and waiting for you on your arrival in one of our picturesque campsites. Our campsites offer wash huts with 2 loos and 2 piping hot showers, private fire pit per pitch and a covered seating area in case of any changes in the Great British weather! Over the past 11 years we have worked with the community to develop some great relationships with different local businesses. We now offer a range of activities on the farm including water sports, wild woodland workshops & yoga, to name a few. Further to this we are now super excited to be able to say that we have our own onsite spa called Orchid Belle - head over to our website to find out more information!

In the glamping space, ‘off-grid’ is definitely overused. So here’s our honest definition… it doesn’t mean roughing it, but it also doesn’t mean a weekend filled with blue light.

It means being thoughtful about how you use energy, water and the space. Our huts are designed so your comfort isn’t compromised, but at the same time you’re able to fully appreciate the quietness of the farm, dark skies of the night and what being friendly to the environment actually means 🌍

We have just had a few last minute spots pop up for the next two weekends for our Shepherds Huts!

Nestled in woodland, each come with:
🌿 Indoor & Outdoor cooking equipment (perfect for those wanting a BBQ dinner and traditional fry up brekkie!
🌿 Camp fire & seating
🌿 Actual beds (and bedding)!!!

Long evenings, birdsong, and a crackling campfire - the recipe for the perfect off-grid escape! Link in bio to take a look, or drop us a message if you have any questions 🌾

There’s a particular type of quietness on the farm that’s hard to describe until you’ve heard it.

Early summer mornings, before the site has fully woken up, when it’s just you, the kids, the remanence of the evenings campfire and bird song, are something else entirely 🌿

It can be really easy to overlook the simple pleasures of the farm, such as the smell of newly cut grass, the birdsong every morning or insects who come over & say hi. So, it’s always lovely when we receive customer photos capturing just that 🌳🐦‍⬛🦋

June is definitely the best time to visit us (until we’re talking about July, August or September, then I think we’d say the same thing 😅) This year we have a wealth of activities happening in Bodiam to make your trip with us fun-packed!

The Hub, Bodiam (our onsite café) will be serving Pizzas & Cocktails every Friday
Bodiam Castle NT are hosting a how to be a Pirate trail throughout their grounds - this will most definitely keep the kids entertained for a while!
Epic Life will be here onsite, running all of their usual activities…. Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Axe Throwing & more!!

And lastly, the sun will be out (we’re going for the glass half full vibe for this summer) and the wildlife flourishing 🌿

Fancy some ‘back to basics’ glamping (with the essential comforts ofc)? Set in ancient woodland, each site is completely off-grid… so no WiFi or electricity. Whilst at first this may sound daunting, we can guarantee once you’re emersed in the British countryside, looking up at the dark skies around a campfire, you’ll be glad you booked with us.

Currently our June calendar is looking very busy with some last minute availability on the following dates;

🌿5th - 7th (only 5 huts left)
🌿12th - 14th (only 4 huts left)
🌿19th - 21st (only 3 huts left)

If you fancy a last minute break away with the kids or would like to celebrate Father’s Day in style this year, drop us a message!

At Quarry Farm, we have two general campsites for individual pitches and groups of up to 5; Poplars (named after the trees onsite) & Gabil Meads (this is it’s original names for when it was used for farming)! Each pitch comes with a fire pit, free of charge, and the option to purchase logs, kindling & eco firelighters from our onsite café, The Hub, Bodiam 🌿

If you’re looking for a step between pitching a tent and our shepherds hut, we work with several local glamping companies that offer gorgeous pre-erected Bell Tents!!! Rent Event - Wedding, Party & Event Hire , The Happy Glamper UK & White Dog Events Ltd.

…and for our larger groups we have two private campsites - we manage all of these bookings directly, so drop us a message if you’d like to discuss! 🏕️

We aren’t for everyone… but we wouldn’t want to be. Our farm is for those looking to switch off and go back to basics (with a few home comforts such as a comfy bed & hot water) all whilst immersing themselves in English countryside.

We have a quiet policy after dark. We don’t offer WiFi or electricity on our sites. And we don’t allow large parties to take over our individual campsites. But this is exactly what makes us, us. We want everyone’s trip to be just as magical as the last, with dark skies showcasing the incredible stars, and off grid sites allowing you to reconnect properly.

If we sound like your type of place, follow along 🤎🌿

We always touch base after your trip to get your feedback and find out what you loved about the farm… And it is still an absolute TREAT when campers reply with pics!!!

Spending every day on the farm we sometimes get lost in work and forget how beautiful the village is. So it’s always a lovely little reminder when we get to see it through your eyes.

George came to stay with his family last summer and took some fantastic photos, which he’s been kind enough to let us share 📸🌿
