Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
Cabins and Castles is the brainchild and passion of Zoe Bassett. She moved back to West Sussex with her husband and young family from London in 2014, but was born and raised in the area, so knows it inside and out.
As a family, they have a passion for travel, be it far flung adventures, weekend glamping, or city breaks with the children - so Zoe was no stranger to property rental, either as a traveller or as a host; their own house was often rented out to visitors while they were away. But she found that many property rental sites were lacking. As someone with high standards and a very sharp eye for design, she found it took a long time to sift through the options on offer to find the hidden gems, and there was little in the way of local information or advice available.
In 2018, Cabins and Castles was born. A personally curated, handpicked collection of stylish and unique places to stay in Sussex. All of them have been vetted to ensure they meet exacting standards. All of them are unique, luxurious, and fabulous. All of them have brilliant hosts and excellent service. Added to which Cabins and Castles’ local knowledge is on hand to ensure you have the best possible stay in this wonderful area.
From the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park to 90 miles of coastline, to vineyards and castles and woodland to market towns. Sussex is the perfect place to explore yet only an hour from London. It offers countryside, coast and culture - great food, fantastic pubs, and a whole host of things to see and do.Whether you are looking for a shepherd’s hut with roaming alpacas and a private swimming pool, a treehouse overlooking the downs, a cosy beamed cottage by the coast or a large sociable house for a group celebration - Cabins and Castles can help.
