About Your Waydown Woodkeepers Hut Stay

Your Woodkeepers Hut

About the Woodkeepers Hut History

The Waydown Woodkeepers Hut was our last Hut to be built and fashioned on a Hut used by the woods manager on a Scottish estate in the Highlands.

On your Woodkeepers Hut stay you get beautiful downland views and you also overlook our horse and donkey paddock.

You have the benefit of a private sunny garden with large picnic bench, a table and chairs plus BBQ ( bring your own coals ) and brick fire pit with a sack of split logs provided.

Our bespoke Waydown Woodkeepers Hut is seagrass in colour and made for us to order by the same craftsman who hand built all four of our Huts as well as the Kitchen Hut.

Your Woodkeepers Hut will accommodate 4 people with a double bed and 2 bunk beds, all bed linen provided and towels for 4 people.

There is a full set of cutlery and crockery with tea, coffee, milk & sugar for the outside gas ring burner.

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.
