Nestled deep in a Sussex forest lies a secluded copse with a tranquil stream running through it. The air is crisp, and the trees stand tall, their silver birch trunks glistening in the morning light. It's here that I found myself on a winter's day, surrounded by nature's serene beauty. But what made this experience truly unique was the presence of a sizzling sauna and a cosy cabin, waiting to be discovered.
My journey began with a relaxing session in the sauna, where I gazed out of the large picture window at the woods below. The heat emanating from the stove created a steamy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. As I sat there, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquillity wash over me, as if my worries had melted away with each passing moment.
After an intense sauna session, I took a refreshing plunge into the icy-cold shower to cool off. The sudden change in temperature left me feeling invigorated and refreshed. Later, I couldn't resist another dose of heat when I succumbed to the temptation of a cold-water bath. Yes, you read that right – a cold-water bath in the woods! It was a bold move, but one that proved surprisingly refreshing.
The sauna experience was not just about relaxation; it was also an exercise in discipline and time management. To light the stove, maintain the temperature, and wait for the perfect moment to exit, all required patience and attention to detail. And as I sat through each session, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment whenever I succeeded in managing my body's thermal response.
When the sauna session finally came to an end, I was greeted by the breathtaking view from Hill Cabin, our home for the night. The cabin itself was a charming retreat, with black cladding and lime-washed wooden floors that seemed to glow in the soft light of evening. We spent the rest of the day lounging by the wood-fired hot tub, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere and enjoying each other's company.
As we explored our surroundings further, I discovered that Hill Cabin is part of a larger project led by Will Gowland, an architect with a passion for sustainable living. The farm, which has been converted into a holiday retreat, features two luxurious cabins, each designed to be a haven from the stresses of modern life. With prices starting at £242 per night, it's certainly not cheap, but if you're looking for a truly unique and immersive experience, this might just be worth considering.
As I reflect on my time in Hill Cabin, I'm struck by the sheer beauty and tranquillity that surrounds me. Whether it's the sizzling sauna, the cold-water bath, or simply basking in the peaceful atmosphere of the cabin, every moment has been a sensory delight. And as I gaze out at the winter wonderland, I know that this is an experience I'll never forget – a true escape from the stresses of everyday life.

It's not just about relaxation, it's an EXPERIENCE! You gotta respect the environment and all that eco-friendly stuff but come on, how do you take a cold-water bath in the middle of winter?! 
And £242 per night? bloody hell, no way would I pay that for a hot tub and some woods... I mean, if you're into that sorta thing.
OMG, have you guys ever heard of Hill Cabin in Sussex? 
The whole experience is so unique - from the sizzling sauna to the cold-water bath (yes, it's a thing, trust me) 
- it's like a sensory overload in the best way possible. 
And can we talk about the architecture? The cabin is literally designed for relaxation and sustainability. 
It's not cheap, I know, but if you're looking for an immersive experience that'll leave you feeling zen, it's worth every penny

. Has anyone been to Hill Cabin before? Would love to get more deets! 
This place sounds soooo peaceful 
I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their time in a sauna surrounded by nature? The prices might be steep but if you're looking for a digital detox and some serious relaxation, it's worth considering. I'd love to try out the cold-water bath tho! 
It looks like they put a lot of thought into designing this place to be sustainable and eco-friendly which is really cool.
The whole concept of having a sauna and hot tub in the middle of nowhere is just so... basic 
. I mean, who needs to go all the way to Sussex for a cold-water bath? Can't they just put it up at their regular old hotel or spa or something? And £242 per night? That's just highway robbery 
Hmm, sounds like quite the unusual getaway spot to me. A sauna and hot tub in the woods? That's some wild stuff! Where exactly is this Hill Cabin located and how does it manage to stay so warm and cozy in the middle of a forest?
. The idea of having a sauna in the woods sounds amazing... but £242 per night? That's a pretty penny 
. On the other hand, it's not like we need more luxury resorts or anything... just another option for people who want to disconnect from the world 
. The sustainable living aspect is cool too - maybe this is the future of eco-tourism? 
. And £242 a night? That's some steep price tag for some fresh air and a sauna 
I mean, can you even imagine waking up to all that tree goodness and then having access to a sauna in the woods? It's like someone took all the relaxation and self-care vibes and put them in one magical forest retreat. The fact that it's designed by an architect who cares about sustainable living just adds to the whole eco-friendly, zen-out vibe. £242 per night might be steep for some, but if you're looking for a true escape from reality, it's worth considering. Plus, I love how the writer talks about the discipline and time management required to get through that sauna session – like, who knew being patient could be so rewarding? 
. But what really impresses me is how sustainable and eco-friendly the entire setup is. I mean, using natural materials like black cladding and lime-washed wooden floors not only looks great but also has a minimal impact on the environment 
.
. I love how they've incorporated all these elements to create this immersive experience that lets you disconnect from the world and just be present in nature 
.
. Plus, having this as an option for those who want to escape the stresses of modern life could be really beneficial for people's mental health 
.
.
we get to learn about plants and animals while surrounded by nature. maybe they could have a sauna or hot tub for teachers to unwind after grading papers 
they're literally killing me! I need a break like that secluded cabin in the woods ASAP 
just had to share my thoughts on this secluded spot in Sussex... sounds like a total retreat from reality! 
I'm loving this secluded gem in Sussex that's got it all - sauna, cabin, and nature! The fact that you can chill out in a sizzling sauna surrounded by silver birch trees is just pure bliss 
and the best part is, it's not just some overpriced tourist trap - it's actually part of this sustainable living project that aims to get people connected with nature again
