Countless people have put themselves to sleep by counting sheep but the Shleep Sanctuary set in the stunning Sussex countryside offers people the chance to count sheep for real as they doze off. The dome for two guests is equipped with a comfortable double bed and 360-degree views of the surrounding natural environment and its pre-numbered sheep.
This unforgettable nighttime experience was conceptualized by sleep brand Emma Sleep and it was inspired by research that says 10% of Brits report that they can’t remember the last time they had a decent night’s sleep.
After settling in for the night after a freshly made dinner, guests will wake up to a breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients and a guided yoga session.
