Our Yurts

What’s Included

Barefoot Yurts is always booked on an exclusive-use basis, giving you complete privacy to enjoy the site with family and friends. Set in a beautiful countryside location with far-reaching views across the Brede Valley, the site includes two fully furnished yurts, a log cabin kitchen, shower room, compost loo, private garden area, fire pit and BBQ.

Sleeping up to 8 guests across the two yurts, Barefoot Yurts is ideal for couples, families, two families holidaying together or groups of friends looking for a unique glamping experience in East Sussex.

The Bedroom Yurt

The cosy bedroom yurt is fully furnished with a comfortable handmade double bed, made up ready for your arrival, with towels provided for two guests.

In addition to the double bed, there are four single mattresses that can be arranged to suit your group, making the yurt ideal for couples, families or groups of friends. Whether you're travelling with young children who want to sleep together or adults sharing a countryside getaway, the flexible sleeping arrangements allow the space to be adapted to your needs.

Sitting Room Yurt

The larger sitting room yurt is the heart of the site and provides a wonderful space to relax and spend time together. Curl up by the wood burner, enjoy a board game, read a book, or simply unwind while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

The yurt is furnished with two comfortable sofa beds, which convert into double beds when needed, allowing the site to accommodate up to 8 guests across the two yurts. A small selection of books, games, toys and puzzles is provided, along with electricity and power points.

Families particularly enjoy having a separate space to relax after children have gone to bed, while groups of friends can gather around the wood burner and enjoy cosy evenings together whatever the weather.

Kitchen, Shower & Outdoor Living

The log cabin kitchen and shower room open onto a covered deck with beautiful views across the Brede Valley, creating the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a relaxed evening meal while enjoying the countryside.

Fully equipped for self-catering, the kitchen provides everything needed for a comfortable stay, while the private garden area, fire pit and BBQ invite you to spend long evenings outdoors beneath the stars.

There is also plenty of space on the lawn for an additional tent by arrangement, making Barefoot Yurts an ideal choice for larger family gatherings and groups of friends.

Both yurts are equipped with wood burners and a generous supply of logs, making Barefoot Yurts a cosy retreat throughout the seasons.

Why Guests Return Again and Again

For over 16 years, Barefoot Yurts has welcomed guests looking for a peaceful escape in the countryside. Many return again and again for the privacy, flexibility and relaxed atmosphere that make a stay here so special.

Unlike many holiday accommodations, we do not increase our prices during school holidays, bank holidays or peak periods. We believe that families and friends should be able to enjoy time together without paying more simply because of the date on the calendar.

Children stay free of charge when bringing their own bedding and towels, helping families enjoy affordable holidays together.

One of our most popular features is our Sunday Lazy Day Checkout. Unlike many holiday accommodations, there is no set checkout time on Sundays, so you can enjoy a slow morning, a leisurely breakfast and make the most of your final day without the usual rush to pack up and leave.

Most importantly, when you book Barefoot Yurts, the whole site is exclusively yours. No neighbouring guests, no shared facilities and no crowded campsite – just space, privacy, beautiful views and time together.
