Our Story
"Living The Dream is easy to say, fulfilling it has been an amazing journey and now Living The Dream we truly are..."
MEETING & MOVING
We both met in 2003, Steve a Builder and Ruth a PA in Banking, and in 2010 we had our amazing son Harrison. We finally tied the knot in the summer of 2016 and in the winter of 2017, we upped and left our beautiful home, as well as our family and friends in Keston, Kent to move down to Sedlescombe, East Sussex to a tumbledown cottage in the middle of some woods... with our dream
CAMPING LIFE
Camping is what we have always loved to enjoy with family and friends and we’ve had many a tent before we upgraded to a classic old motorhome for a little more ‘luxury’! We loved to just get up and go! It was over the last several years of our camping life that we actually wanted to take it a step further... we wanted land, we wanted woodlands, we wanted beautiful surroundings and we wanted to run our own place for others to come Camp, Glamp and Cabin!
With a year of making our house into a beautiful home, along with a long Planning Permission submission, we finally started ground work on Seven Acre Woods in the Spring of 2019 with our grand opening in mind for Autumn of 2020... yes, the Year of Covid-19!

then Building
Passion, Skill + Hard Work
We both have a passion for hard work and with Steve’s carpentry talents, Ruth’s organisational expertise along with Harrison's bundle of energy and youthful ideas, we have managed to fulfil our own expectations of space and designs along with interiors and character to carry out what we hope to be a great cabining, glamping and camping life to be enjoyed by all who come and stay!
Today & Tomorrow
We live and work onsite at Seven Acre Woods and proud of what our dream has become
We hope your time here with us too will too be a dream for you and we look forward to welcoming you when you stay!
All you see is uniquely designed, hand built and crafted with love by ourselves
A lot of love and dedication has been put into our dream of what has now become a small Glamping and Camping Field along with 5 bespoke rustic Cabins in the woods
Upcycled, recycled, reused and handmade, the Cabins and other structures are bespoke and unique in every way using natural materials and hand crafted skills in every opportunity
We are always thinking of new ideas, projects and ways to make Seven Acre Woods even more for when you come to stay... whether it be a new woodland game, an update to Cabin or a new area to enjoy!
