GlampinG IN THE SURREY HILLS
Hazelnut Hill is a beautiful mix of ancient woods, coppiced hazel and open fields with far reaching views of the Surrey Hills.
The delightful log cabin called Doris is nestled on the edge of one of the coppiced areas with direct access to the open field.
The interior offers a sumptuous king sized bed, from where you can sit with a cup of tea and savour the glorious views in this peaceful location and watch the sun rise.
The roomy bespoke sturdy wood cabin, flooded with daylight, has a central heating for the cooler months and hot water to the power shower and bathroom sink for your year round comfort.
The en suite also boasts a flushing toilet and for those of you who love fire, there is a log burner too.
There are plentiful solar powered USB sockets, a small fridge on the terrace outside and a small portable gas stove as well as cups – all you need for a nice cup of tea.
A shared outside kitchen area with gas stoves and sink with cold water as well as your own private fire pit enable you to cook al fresco.
The surrounding ancient woodland sports veteran oaks, sweet chestnut, large sycamore coppice and elm trees, the coupes of coppiced of hazelnut some with oak standards and fields of wild flowers combined attract an array of wildlife. Numerous butterflies, rabbits, foxes, deer, owls, bats, buzzards, kites, woodpeckers and goldcrest are frequent visitors, so it’s a great location for birders and nature lovers.

The Jolly Farmer is great old English pub, great food, beer and atmosphere, there is also fish and chips as well as a wood fired pizza van on Friday nights (confirm in advance), a great local cafe and shops for essentials.

Firewood
You’re welcome to bring your own wood to burn, but please make sure it is not treated wood (e.g. fence panels or external grade timber) or wood with nails/staples/screws or other fixings in as they get left behind when the wood has burned through.
Kindling can be collected from the woods, but please leave other wood to nature. We provide seasoned firewood and starters for the log burning stove and for the firepit to get you going, and firewood can be purchased in advance.
