Reviews of Battle Pods and Bells Glamping

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

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

Location Was so peaceful

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.

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

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!

Lovely hosts great location

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.

Nothing.

Lovely setting close to town very friendly hosts super cosy pod

All great

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.

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.

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.

The stay was amazing. My son loved it!

The hosts we're relaxed and welcoming and the pods are very cosy. They are compact but clean and comfortable with an outside area for each with tables and seats. The surroundings are peaceful woodland and fields with horses grazing all add to the tranquility of the place.

I don't know but if I have to say something maybe better lights around the shower and washing area.

Nothing was to much amazing surroundings and everything super close great stay

Really friendly hosts, only a small amount of tents and pods so it was nice and quiet even during the school holidays. Comfy beds, clean toilets and showers. Thanks

Great location, walking distance to Battle. Fantastic forest with many paths. Very big site surrounded by trees. Lovely host and a great stop.

There is no hooks or rails / single chair (perhaps) in the pods which means you can’t hang any clothes, especially when they are wet and you want them to dry. Saw a couple next door brought their own sticky hooks. Even those would do.

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.

Nothing we didn’t like about our stay.

Quiet and peaceful

At 72 years of age with asthma the carpark was far enough from my accomadation

The breakfast was delicious we didn’t feel hungry till the evening, The location was lovely and peaceful and lovely woods to walk the dog, the hosts Phillipa and Patrick were very welcoming and helpful, we had a great weekend break.

A slightly larger table in the pod would have been better for us.

Lovely location. No trouble if you needed any thing.
