Liked: We loved our stay here-owner really friendly and showed us everything we needed. Only a few other pitches which is definitely part of the appeal! On the grounds where they have some sheep and vegetables growing. Definitely come again.
Disliked: Only thing is this site is off a road and in a flight path zone. Still quiet all things considered but did have to get used to the planes flying over initially. Did not deter me personally.

From the manager: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, Laura, and look forward to welcoming you back - enjoy the rest of this Sunny Summer! Emma :-)

Liked: Beautiful scenery! So easy to find but feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere as it’s so peaceful. We had so much space and were able to do some amazing stargazing too. Emma and Adrian are both so lovely and helpful and are there whenever you need them. Also the toilets are immaculate! A fab stay, will definitely come back.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Liked: We were travelling through the area on business and had booked last minute for a much needed stopover. Emma the host was friendly and welcoming. The toilet facilities were immaculate, always a bonus! We were travelling light and there were garden chairs that we could have used if necessary. There was also a lovely old bench in the little orchard area so we didn't miss our own facilities, perfect for just relaxing and watching the sheep in the field.
Disliked: None

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: * Perfect little site - quiet, small, calm * Basic clean outdoor sink, and then couple of small very clean toilets in a barn * Lovely friendly owners who helped our little one feed the sheep * Lots of wildlife about for small kids to look at - we saw ladybirds, sheep, butterflies, bees, frogs, moths, rabbits, grasshoppers, blackbirds etc
Disliked: The only downside really is that you're not a million miles from Gatwick and some of the planes are very loud - fine when you're active during the day, but during the night it's not ideal

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review, Christopher. It was lovely to have you to stay - and fun to have some help feeding the sheep! Hope to see you again - Emma :-)

Liked: A lovely, small site surrounded by nature for a little getaway. We especially liked the freedom of choosing where to pitch up, and that they keep numbers low so it doesn't feel crowded. Facilities were more than enough for what we needed - really nice, smart, clean toilets and helpfully located sinks for washing up. The hosts were lovely, and really accomadating to our request to bring our cat along provided he stayed on a lead (and he thoroughly enjoyed walks through the wildflowers, smelling the rabbit warrens, and watching the sheep from the van) Would recommend :) Overall just a lovely peaceful way to spend a night

Liked: The grounds on which the campsite is situated are beautiful. There are ponds, trees, sheep, gardens. The toilet area provided is clean - two toilets with sinks and mirrors. On the site there is also an outdoor sink and bin. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. There is good coverage so no need for wifi if you have data.
Disliked: There are other places nearby called "The Oaks" so need to be careful when navigating there. If travelling by public transport be prepared to walk a short distance on a busy motorway to the nearest bus stop. To enter and exit the campsite you need to inform the host. Planes can be heard flying by regularly but other than that very peaceful area.
