The Cabin

Nr. Billingshurst, West Sussex

From £170 per night

Escape to the tranquillity of your very own private treescape. Nestled within 65 acres of ancient woodland in West Sussex, this secluded cabin is just five miles from the charming village of Billingshurst, with a private hot tub to enjoy beneath the canopy.

The log cabin has been beautifully crafted from green oak by local craftsmen. Inside, a light-filled, open-plan space provides everything needed for a comfortable stay for two, complete with a separate shower room/WC.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a combi oven/grill/microwave, fridge and ice box, and a Nespresso coffee machine. Above this, you'll find a small but cosy mezzanine level, perfect for reading a book or playing board games.

With very little mobile signal and only "pocket" Wi-Fi, the Cabin may not be high-tech, but comfort is certainly in abundance here. As night falls, retreat to the luxurious king-size bed and start to feel your mind and body unwind.

On long summer evenings, stargaze from the newly installed hot tub, or sit around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows and recounting tales. During cooler months, snuggle up inside with a cup of cocoa or something stronger.

We do recommend you bring a car due to the remote location of the property. Parking is a short walk from the Cabin, along a private footpath, but a wheelbarrow is provided for transporting luggage and supplies.

One of a kind, and quite unlike any property you will have stayed in before, this beautiful woodland bolthole is the epitome of a romantic sanctuary for two, or a blissful escape for one. If you're seeking secret cabins in West Sussex, it doesn't get more hidden or enchanting than this.

Location

Nr. Billingshurst, West Sussex

Despite the Cabin’s secluded woodland setting, the cabin is ideally placed for exploring the surrounding West Sussex countryside. Set near the village of Billingshurst, you’re perfectly positioned between the rolling landscapes of the South Downs National Park and the Sussex coastline. Within easy reach are the historic market town of Arundel, known for its castle and riverside walks, and the vibrant county town of Lewes, with its independent shops and winding streets. The picturesque village of Ditchling also lies nearby, nestled at the foot of the Downs. For days by the sea, the Sussex coast is just a short drive away, while nearby canals, footpaths and bridleways offer endless opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape at a slower pace. Yet for those who prefer to stay close to home, the Cabin offers something rarer still, a chance to truly switch off. Hidden deep within the woodland, this peaceful retreat invites you to reconnect with nature, with everything you need right on your doorstep.

Lush green ploughed rolling hills surrounded by forest at dusk

Owner recommendations

Where to eat and drink

The Milk Churn, found next door to Woodsomes Farm in Rudgwick, is a great find for coffee, and perfect for refuelling during a country walk along the Downs Link.

In my opinion, there is no better way to enjoy an evening drink, than taking your glass into the woods. Sip quietly - you’ll find real relaxation.

The Fox in Bucks Green, is a great local pub. They also make fantastic sourdough bread in their deli, which is not to be missed!

What to do in the local area

Be sure to contact Clive Cobie for an immersive forest experience. Clive lives with his dog Sydney in the woods surrounding the Cabin. He will take you on a foraging tour or give you a Bushcraft session.

Testimonials

We had a lovely stay and would happily recommend this property. It was cosy, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was particularly well equipped for cooking meals, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the snacks and bottle of prosecco on arrival. The hot tub was a great addition and we had a very relaxing break overall. Would definitely come back again!

Georgia - guest, June 2026

I'm apprehensive to advertise how incredibly lovely this experience was, as I'd honestly rather keep it all to myself! However, I also need to express my praise, gratitude, and appreciation for this magical place. It is completely isolated in a beautiful forest where one will absolutely not be disturbed in any way; partially due to the lack of phone signal and temperamental WiFi but that is exactly how it should be. The layout is impeccable and the vibe is just lovely. The night sky is stunning given the lack of light pollution and the only noise interference is birdsong. I honestly wish I were back there right now. Thank you for an amazing stay, we very much hope to return again soon.

Paddy - guest, January 2026

Its a beautiful place - location, quality. But the little extras do make this truly luxurious.

Jon - guest, January 2026

Hidden gem! Truly magical. Everything it says on the tin and more. Kate was very helpful and quick to respond with any queries. I will be back for sure!!!

Nathan - guest

Thank you for such a wonderful night at the Cabin, we loved it! The hot tub was fantastic and we had the best sleep in the peaceful, relaxing environment. We wish we had stayed longer!

Phoebe - guest

Thoroughly enjoyed my night away in the luxury Cabin, the surroundings were perfect and the little welcome touches and provisions were very thoughtful. Would highly recommend as the communication was also great.

Ama - guest

We spent a few days here for my wife’s birthday and had a very relaxing stay. The cabin was exactly as described and pictured online. Would highly recommend for a relaxing/romantic getaway.

Craig - guest

A beautiful cabin and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - cannot recommend enough. Kate was very friendly and responsive, helping to make it a magical couple of nights away. Thank you! x

Hannah - guest

We really enjoyed our break away from the busy city. Sitting out by the fire and looking at the stars was nothing but pure bliss. The cabin was cosy and the host had even turned on the hot tub and heating before we arrived. Thank you to Kate and Luxury Boltholes, we hope to return in the future.

Conor - guest

Do not hesitate to book this place! I stayed here with my partner and it was so beautiful and peaceful. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need! Hot water bottles, games, a speaker, firewood, towels, snacks… you name it! The place was so warm and cosy and the location was perfect! Very private and secure. Kate was fantastic and very helpful! Overall it was perfect! We will definitely be back. Thankyou! xx

Olivia - guest

Really lovely place that’s peaceful and a great escape. Thank you for the treats we got on arrival as well! The cabin is gorgeous and the hot tub was ready for us for when we arrived!

Karina - guest

The cabin gave us such a great place to relax and reset. The cabin is extremely remote, we didn’t see anyone else within the accommodation vicinity for our entire stay. Beautiful accommodation and idyllic setting. Kate was extremely helpful in local recommendations plus sourcing a beauty therapist to visit us at the cabin. Will definitely be back!

Helen - guest

Absolutely amazing little retreat to get away. Far beyond our expectations, simply wonderful!

Michael - guest

A stunning woodland cabin in a perfectly secluded spot. The attention to detail was incredible and the hosts were extremely thoughtful and generous - it was my birthday and so they left me a beautiful hamper packed with delicious Sussex goodies (including England's finest sparkling wine, Nyetimber!). Loved the bbq, the hot tub and the woodburner - we had everything we needed and it was super cosy. Some great local pub suggestions, too. Also very grateful to the hosts for finding and returning a necklace I left behind. Will recommend to others, for sure.

Zoe - guest

I’m so pleased I found this tranquil place to book for myself and my boyfriend for his birthday. It is absolutely idyllic. We made the most of all the facilities, at the cabin - including the oven, log burner and jacuzzi! Kate was incredibly responsive when I had a couple of mini questions. I would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.

Lorna - guest

The cabin was wonderful - very scenic, beautiful and peaceful, lots of privacy for the hot tub too. Accompanied with an upstairs viewing pod area which was nice, and a lovely hamper upon arrival.

Ellie - guest

All we can say is WOW! We had such an amazing stay! The description does not do this beautiful cabin justice! Everything was absolutely perfect and we will be back! Everything was clean, thoughtful touches and such an incredible cabin!

Teagan - guest

It was a great experience, staying in the Cabin. Everything in the house worked seamlessly. And the place is just beautiful!

Luiz - guest

Wow! A little slice of heaven. I almost don't want to leave a glowing review as I want to keep this little paradise a secret but if you're looking for a cabin straight out of a rom com film this is it! Beautifully and tastefully decorated this hideaway has all you need and more! All the basics were there including bedding, towels and your kitchen staples but the little extra details is what made our stay so easy and stress free. As described there's no signal so talk to each other like it's 1995 or bring some games if you're not too busy in the hot tub, walking or making s'mores on the fire pit, this place is amazing, we will definitely be returning. Tips for anyone staying in the future - tin foil if you're making s'mores, a torch or two (no naked flames) as it can get dark, an outside blanket for some star gazing and some flip flops for nipping out the hot tub.
