The detail

With two cabin retreats between just south of London, it’s never been easier to go off-grid. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Gruff and Basil sit in the charming West Sussex countryside. Unplugged Rest has unwinding and – literally – unplugging at its heart, with the phone lockbox encouraging guests to lock their phone away, switch off and explore nature using the custom Unplugged walking maps.

Located in Thakeham, West Sussex, Gruff and Basil cabins sleep two guests each across a queen-sized bed finished with cosy Piglet bedding. Equipped with an outdoor fire pit with a grill, loose leaf tea and fresh coffee beans and a gas stove and kitchen equipment, this tiny piece of heaven guarantees relaxation.

The hot shower and eco-toilet can be found with eco-bathroom products to centre guests in nature. A small fridge and freezer house the perfect location for moreish snacks, which you can enjoy by the fire pit in the evening. A unique addition, the instant film camera comes with ten photo films to depict memories of your stay, alongside a tape player with a selection of classics to soundtrack the holiday.

The two cabins may be twinned, but they are entirely separate and sit 70 metres apart and are not visible from one another. This means couples can relax and unwind in complete privacy, taking in the serenity of the marvellous West Sussex surroundings.

Twin cabins Gruff and Basil can be found in Thakeham, West Sussex, offering up Iron Age hillfort Chanctonbury Ring, Bramber Castle, Cissbury Ring and the South Downs, apt for walking, biking and running.
