About Bluecaps Farm Glamping

Reasons to choose Bluecaps Farm Glamping include enjoying the feeling of solitude, unpolluted night skies, waking up to stunning views of neighbouring Bewl Water, and unwinding in the beautiful High Weald countryside. The staff here are helpful and friendly - and can't do enough to ensure your stay is one to remember. The site has four shepherd's huts, Poppy, Daisy, Forget-me-not and Sunflower. Poppy features a generous double bed, bijoux kitchen area including a toaster, kettle and induction hob, log burner and BBQ firepit. Apart from Daisy, each shepherd's hut is kitted out with an induction hob, plug in cool box, toaster, kettle and the usual pots, crockery and cutlery. A welcome pack includes tea, coffee and a bottle of wine to help you start to relax and unwind. Daisy, however, is solar powered and features a small gas ring for heating water etc. The log burner has two cooking rings built into it, but for convenience there is an undercover overflow area for Daisy which has four gas cooking rings and also seating. Forget-me-not is four berth featuring a comfortable double bed and two bunk beds. Built to the same high spec as Poppy. Sunflower is also four berth but larger than the other, with the same layout but room to accommodate a sofa. All accommodation has its own private seating area with BBQ/firepit with some free wood.

A note from the site themselves...

I started the glamping site back in 2015 after the passing of my husband. Needed something to keep me occupied and the glamping was just the thing. I love welcoming guests to our glamping site. During their stay you really get to know them and sometimes even share a glass of wine with them and enjoy a chat!

We have kept the numbers low as want the experience to be tranquil and due to there not being many units there is unpolluted light so the stars are very visible when there is no cloud cover. Would be great for astronomers!

At the moment we can take a total of 12 people although we are in the process of converting a horse box so will be able to take additional people later in the year. That will be great fun!

I am extremely proud of the fact that all my guests love their experience here on the farm and many of them enjoy the llama trekking that we offer. There are also the five pygmy goats to chat to and they are always up for it! We have repeat guests regularly and I think that speaks ions.

Shepherd's Hut - Forget-me-not Shepherd's HutAug 2023

We had a wonderful break away staying in Forget Me Not shepherds hut. All staff gave an excellent balance of friendliness, helpfulness and leaving us to enjoy our experience. My daughter was safe to explore the beautiful setting and pat the horses, goats and llamas. We went on easy accessible, stunning walks each day. A local pub is only a short walk for a cheeky pint in the sun. Every need was catered for, including indoor and outdoor games. We did a llama walk, which was quirky and fun. I would thoroughly recommend staying. We all didn't want to leave as our stay was such a magical experience.

Shepherd's Hut - Forget-me-not Shepherd's HutMay 2023

We highly recommend this charming glamping site. It was really quiet as there are only four huts. The hut was very clean, cosy and well appointed. We had a very relaxing stay and would definitely return. Our children loved the goats and llamas.

Site's response

Thank you so much Gillian for your lovely and kind response. We are very happy you had such a great time and that the goats and llamas played their part. We'll look forward to seeing you again some time in the future. Best wishes, Tina x

Shepherd's Hut - Poppy Shepherd's HutOct 2022

We decided to go away to relax and get off grid for few days, and we can't recommend the Bluecaps Farm enough. The host was always happy to help and the breakfast basket with all the products was a nice plus. We loved every second of our experience.

Site's response

Sorry - only just seen this review! Thank you so much - very kind of you :-). Really happy you had such a nice time and hope to see you again sometime. Best wishes, Tina x

For the not so energetic, you can stroll 10 minutes away and have a drink in the local pub!

Some guests just enjoy spending their time reading and having a glass of wine.
