“The magical escape”
+Escaping to the country has never been more fun and magical. The resident robin and all his many friends keep you in that chilled mindset. The town of Rye was 10 mins by car and full of historical charm. It was even being used for filming while we visited. We walked from Rye to Camber sands along the cycle path and there are frequent buses back.
“Fab pet-friendly hut”
+We really enjoyed our stay in The Hideout. Not quite sure what to expect when advertised as “off grid”, however we were pleasantly surprised. Our hut was exceptionally clean and well stocked upon check-in (kitchen essentials, wood/firefighters etc) which is contact-free. It overlooks countryside for miles, plenty pheasants and grazing sheep metres away - something anyone bringing a dog should be aware of. The external areas feel secluded, however not secure, plenty of space for a well behaved pooch to roam. The hut itself is a decent size for a couple, good kitchenette facilities and very comfy sofa. Where it falls down slightly is in a few small details: we found the bed incredibly uncomfortable -creeks and as the pictures suggest, you need to crawl on all fours to reach it. The external areas need some investment: unable to sit on the bedroom terrace as no seats (plus falling acorns will take you out), the main deck requires a bench seat so you can snuggle whilst enjoying a glass of English Sparkling, or a decent size dining table that matches the deck size. Sadly the fire pit area smelt of sewage when a breeze whipped by... being picky, we’d of liked a hand towel and a hook in t
+Beautiful views and great communication from the owner on how to find it and access your hut. We stayed in The Hive for one night and it was a little dusty, everything needed a deep clean. It didn’t ruin our trip, and would visit again in the hope this was a one off error.
“Bit of a letdown really. A shame”
+I expect a rustic ‘off-grid’ hut to be reasonably basic but to have a fairly dirty interior I was less enthused about. The sofa with bits of old food on it. Looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time. Dirty and dusty floors. Dirty grubby windows. Dead bugs in the window frames. Surfaces covered in grime around the sink area for example. Old food left on the sink drainer (bits of broccoli - not ours!). Even the kettle for the stove top was missing its ‘whistle’. Cutlery drawer grubby etc. The wet room a little tired, needs refreshing. Poor lighting. No mirror. No extraction for the steam meant it stayed pretty wet in there all day. Using the toilet after a shower meant you have damp and wet clothes that easily touch the dirty floor. The drain smelled too. No decent supply of hand soap provided. Empty bottles of hand soap, yes. But to use - barely any. No milk provided in the gas fridge. But some old tea bags and sugar plus sachets of coffee stuffed into a jar found in a cupboard for your welcome to the property. The bedroom area: no storage options for clothing. Some lighting not working either. Pillows a mix of lumpy and squishy. “The Hut” needs some care and attention to m
+We wanted quiet, peaceful, beautiful, unique and considerate and that’s what we got. To be woken up by pheasants and lambs, dinner at The Plough, logs being burnt inside and out and amazing views and walks… it was all there.
+Really unique stay, lovely views.
+Check in was easy, The Hive is a quirky place to stay with great views. Very clean.
“The perfect place to retreat!”
+A wonderful place for a couple of days retreat. We stayed in The Hut which was in the woods and offered amazing views of the surrounding countryside; lush green fields, sheep, birds and bluebells. The quirky accommodation was small but adequate and very private. The location was excellent being in walking distance of The Plough where we enjoyed a superb evening meal, and it was also only a short drive into Rye. Mobile reception was intermittent and the USB charging points offered did not work which was slightly frustrating as we use our phones as cameras and needed to at least have a lifeline to family left behind. I would recommend taking plenty of portable chargers, we ended up driving to charge up in the car. I would definitely recommend Extraordinary Huts if you want a peaceful and relaxing break away from it all.
“A tranquil, peaceful setting in the countryside!”
+A tranquil, peaceful setting in the countryside with beautiful views the hut was idyllic with everything you could need to get away from it all and relax. The Hive has been beautifully decorated and is very cozy with a lovely log fire. The fire pit is a great addition. There is a lovely pub and farm shop/cafe serving delicious homemade food within walking distance and it is situated within a 10 minute drive from the lovely Rye itself.
