Glamping with a hot tub is always special, but our log-heated tub makes it unforgettable. Heated by real fire, you’ll smell the woodsmoke, hear the crackle of logs, and watch steam rise into the night air. Slip in and let the warm water melt your stress away.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a family escape, or a day exploring the South Downs Way and nearby Sussex villages, the tub becomes the heart of your stay.

Just outside the bus, your private raised deck is the perfect outdoor lounge. Here you can:
Soak in the tub with views of Sussex fields and oak trees
Curl up by the fire pit with comfy cushions
Share sunset drinks beneath the branches
Let the kids explore and play while you relax
It’s your own secluded space to slow down and reconnect.

The tub is just part of the experience. Your accommodation is a quirky, eco-friendly American school bus conversion — a space full of character and comfort. Together, the bus and the tub create a unique West Sussex glamping stay near the South Downs you won’t find anywhere else.


At dusk, kindle the fire, slip into steaming water, and watch the stars appear in the dark skies of West Sussex. In summer, the tub doubles as a refreshing plunge pool after long countryside walks. In autumn and winter, it becomes a cosy retreat, where firelight and warm water chase the chill away.
Every season brings something new — misty mornings, crisp nights, or long summer evenings stretched under the oak.
