    It’s dog friendly so we enjoyed having our dog with us. She’s a nervous one so was on lead the whole time, the pod next to us also had a dog which once tried to approach us without asking so we felt the neighbour were little disrespectful but we had a great time anyway

    As expected, great cosy little stay with a huge field and everything you need in side

    Could do with extra blankets on top of the duvets as a couple of people in the group felt a bit cold during the night

    Stunning location and small enough campsite to not feel busy. Showers were lovely and hot, having firewood ready and waiting for us was a nice touch. The staff were very helpful when we got lost and couldn’t find the campsite.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at a camping site hosted by Patrick and Philippa, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. The site is situated on a vast expanse of private land surrounded by beautiful forests, making it a perfect escape into nature. We had plenty of space to explore the trails, and we enjoyed countless hours playing right in front of our tent. The sitting area is fantastic, soaking up the sunshine, which was ideal for relaxation. We made great use of the BBQ facilities too—nothing beats grilling outdoors! Unfortunately, we faced a car breakdown on our first day. Patrick and Philippa went above and beyond, allowing us to park near the entrance and accommodating the recovery truck on their property. When the AA got delayed, they kindly let us keep our car for an extra day after checkout without any additional charges. Philippa even handed the key over to the AA the next day, making the whole process so much easier for us. We truly can’t thank them enough for their kindness and support. If you’re looking for a peaceful camping experience with wonderful hosts, this is the place to be!

    Nothing.

    Beautiful site and fantastic hosts who were extremely helpful and communicative. We felt very welcomed. Easy parking, very clean facilities, and lovely warm showers. Great atmosphere on the site and within walking distance of the high street with shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. This was our first camping/glamping experience with our 2 year old. She loved it and is eager to visit again.

    Super quiet location, lovely space around the tents to BBQ, play rounders ect. We had a mixture of tents and pods and all were lovely. The owners are friendly and kind, based at the end of the track so on hand if you had a problem, but lots of privacy provided. They even bought their pony to meet the guests which the kids loved.

    Maybe could just think about providing some sort of camp kettle or pan with the bbq hire to make a morning cuppa. Also, we had been banking on being able to buy breakfast items and therefore hadn’t catered for this. Unfortunately unavailable for our stay, so maybe double check as you arrive (by the time we knew this we’d had a beer and unable to drive out that evening). Neither thing an issue just worth knowing in advance. We had a beautiful breakfast out in Battle instead.

    Bell tents were brilliant, comfy beds and we slept well. The surroundings are beautiful and really feel you’re in the middle of no where! Handy for days out to Hastings and Battle. Toilets and shower facilities great. Toilets kept very clean.

    We had a great stay, local to the town, but far enough away it was quite and tranquil. A lovely get away. Lovely couple that run the business, would definitely recommend and would stay again.

    The metal bed was a bit on a squeaky side, when sharing with an extremely tall partner we found it squeaked when he moved around.

    Really friendly people running it all. Phillipa and the guy (sorry forgot his name) were extremely lovely, hospitable and really made an effort to make you feel at home.

    The car parking area was a bit of a walk from the tents, although we were given a wheelbarrow to help with luggage. My children and I slept well, but unfortunately my husband didn’t, due to there only being one pillow, so I’d recommended taking your own too (as I did.)

    The bell tents were super cosy & clean, loved that the beds for my small children were on the ground, so much space to explore and for them to run and play including the woods surrounding, and we had a fire in the evening which was lovely. The owner was very friendly, she greeted us and showed us to our tent, explained the facilities - shower/toilet/washing up area - and brought us breakfast in the morning. There are Fire pits, logs and bbq’s to rent for a small cost, and although I forgot skewers for roasting marshmallows, the owners greeted us graciously provided us with some, which was appreciated.

    Stayed here for a couple of nights recently while visiting a friend in the town of Battle. What a wonderful experience it was. The site is on the edge of and a short walk from the town, so it feels a lot more private and out on it's own. Lovel location with a big forest right next to it. I was made to feel very welcome by the couple running the site and I highly recommend the breakfast served up in one of the fields! All in all a great experience.
