Vineyard and valley views

Soak up the views during your stay.
Located in our apple orchard overlooking the River Cuckmere is Robins Retreat with the additional option of a relaxing hot tub for the duration of your stay (min 2 nights -see other details for extra's and pricing).

Heating, a flushing toilet, hot shower, a fully equipped kitchen and a view that won’t disappoint. The king size bed folds away easily to allow more space should you need it.

Reconnect around the firepit, look up at the stars from the hot tub or simply spend some time by yourself.

The space
The Shepherds Hut has a king size bed that pulls down and can easily be put away to provide additional space inside.

Guest access
The accommodation is for your sole use during your stay

Other things to note
The wood fired hot tub and firepit (as well as other items) are extra's and payable separately. There is a minimum of 2 nights for the hot tub option. We also have a minimum of 2 nights for weekend stays.
We are in a quiet residential location and therefore may not be suitable for larger groups.

We do have a private hire licence so I am able to pick up and collect from local train stations and the area for a set fee, subject to availability.
There is one car parking space per Shepherds Hut on site.

We do have some extra’s on site (subject to availability), please do let us know if you would like us to prepare these ahead of your stay. Happy for you to let me know once the weather forecast is more reliable:

* Hot tub option for the duration of your stay at £50 per night (minimum of 2 nights). For example 3 night stay £150, 4 nights £200. The hot tub comes with a paddle rather than bubbles to make your stay more serene
