Highlights
  • Nestled in a quiet corner of a West Sussex farm, Busker Horsebox is a cosy and private glamping retreat ideal for couples or small groups of up to four.
  • Set on a raised hill, the horsebox offers panoramic views of the South Downs - fall asleep to the sound of owls and wake up to birdsong and sweeping countryside scenery.
  • The vintage horsebox interior is warm and welcoming, with a comfy sofa by the double doors and a wood-burning stove for chilly evenings.
  • A compact kitchenette includes a stove, fridge and toaster, so you can cook up simple meals, then enjoy them at the breakfast bar or outside on the grass.
  • Electric lighting, plug sockets and charging points make this off-grid experience feel homely and practical, without compromising on comfort.
  • Guests have exclusive access to a separate shower and compost toilet located just outside, making the stay both convenient and eco-friendly.
  • Though it feels wonderfully secluded, you’re only a 15-minute walk from Steyning and close to South Downs highlights like Lewes, the Seven Sisters, Cuckmere Haven and the vibrant seaside city of Brighton.

The Details

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of a picturesque West Sussex farm, Busker Horsebox is a tranquil and cosy stay for couples or small groups of friends. Ideal as a romantic getaway, the horsebox is completely private, ensuring you and your loved one can unwind together in style. However, the pull-out sofa-bed offers sleeping space for two more, as long as the four of you don’t mind sharing one open plan space.

This converted vintage horsebox sits on a raised hill offering panoramic views of the surrounding South Downs scenery. Enjoy a perfect night’s sleep with just owl hoots to lull you, then wake to birdsong and take in the views across the National Park.

Inside, the box is quaint and cosy. A sofa sits next to the double doors, which you can leave open in summer to let the outside in. However, on cooler days, keep the doors closed and light the wood-burning fireplace, which ensures you stay toasty and warm as you put your feet up with a good book.

Just off the seating area is a small kitchenette, which is equipped with a stove, fridge and toaster, ensuring you can prepare tasty meals during your stay. You can then dine together at the breakfast bar, or picnic on the lush green grass outside. You’ll also find that electric lighting, sockets and charging points add a homely touch to this glamping retreat.

When night falls, there’s a superb king size bed at one end of the horsebox. Super-comfy bedding combines with the tranquil location to ensure you get a great night’s sleep, waking up refreshed and ready to venture out and explore the undulating countryside around you. The fold-out sofa bed ensures two more guests can stay if needed. You and your loved ones will also have exclusive access to a separate shower and compost toilet, which are located just outside the horsebox.

Despite the feeling that you’re deep in the middle of nowhere, you're actually just a 15-minute walk from the charming village of Steyning. This picturesque spot is full of character and offers a warm welcome with its selection of traditional pubs.

If you're keen to explore further, the surrounding area is packed with things to see and do. The South Downs National Park is perfect for scenic walks, bike rides and soaking up breathtaking views. Take a trip to historic Lewes, a characterful market town with a Norman castle and unique independent shops. Nature lovers can head to the dramatic Seven Sisters cliffs or spot wildlife at Cuckmere Haven. For a livelier day out, Brighton offers beaches, quirky shops and the iconic Royal Pavilion.
