Shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a lovely stay at Waydown. The shepherd’s hut is so cute and there are lots of thoughtful details. The separate kitchen hut with teabags and milk in the fridge. The kids loved the home made cup cakes to welcome us, just the ticket after the drive. Swings in the trees and swingball - great hot shower. We were at a family get together in Brighton and staying here was far more fun than a boring hotel. Thanks so much for having us.
Disliked: It is a pretty site on the edge of the downs, but yes there is some road noise, but I read that in reviews and packed ear plugs as well as an eye mask as find these Glamping essentials and all was well.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: The hut was fantastic, really clean, warm and welcoming. Andrew met us as we arrived and gave us the lowdown. ALl the facilities were really clean, toilet large and well stocked, shower hut clean and worked fine with hot water, the communal kitchen space very well stocked. The Plough pub nearby did great food. Will definitely stay again! Fantastic spot for exploring the local areas and Brighton.
Disliked: Nothing!
