About Your Waydown Bathing Machine Hut Stay

Your Bathing Machine Hut

The Bathing Machine Hut – A Touch Of Brighton History

Your Waydown Bathing Machine Hut was created for us with the Victorian Bathing Machines in mind The bathing machines were used on the Brighton beaches, which are only a 15 minutes’ drive from our Waydown Site.

The Bathing Machines allowed the Victorian ladies, at the turn of the century, to protect their modesty by walking out onto the rear terrace and into the sea.

The bigger Waydown Bathing Machine Hut accommodates 4 people with a large double bed and bunk beds plus all bedding and towels provided.

Your Bathing Machine hut also has a full set of cutlery and crockery stored in a wooden cupboard, with tea, coffee, milk & sugar for the single gas ring burner on the terrace.

There is a large oil filled electric radiator and wood burning stove for the colder months. Your Bathing Machine Hut also has the benefit of a private covered terrace with table and chairs.

Outside there is a brick-built fire pit with logs provided, BBQ ( bring your own coals ) plus seating.

Whether you’re exploring the beautiful English South Downs, enjoying the coastal charm of Brighton, or simply relaxing in your private oasis on the Waydown site, our Waydown Riverkeepers Hut Lodge is the perfect base for your short break holiday in the South of England on the South Downs Way.
