  • Stays at a first-rate angling centre five minutes' drive from Battle
  • A 15-minute drive to Bexhill-on-Sea; 20 minutes to Hastings
  • Eight fishing lakes, tackle shop, farm shop and café on site
With eight lakes to pick from, it’s no surprise that stays on site at Wylands Farm are particularly fine options for keen anglers. But that’s not all this East Sussex site has going for it: this is 1066 country, with historic Battle about a five-minute drive away, and the south coast about 20 minutes away. All this means that Wylands is an equally fine option for the sort of holiday that mixes up fishing time and other activities (or provides alternative outings for different strands of a family group…). Those who aren’t into fishing, or want a break from the water, might like to have a wander around Hastings, hit the beach in Bexhill-on-Sea or find walking trails in the surrounding High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (or even in the 154 acres of woodland around the site). And for those looking to get stuck into the fishing? Well, there’s plenty on site – this is a place that’s earned itself a reputation as one of the best angling centres around. The eight lakes (including a catfish lake) cater for specialist, match and pleasure anglers, and there’s also a tackle shop for kit and friendly advice, along with a café and farm shop stocked with local produce to ensure you won’t go hungry. (Please note that fishing is not included and must be booked separately.) Had a good day by the lake? Take yourself off to the local pub, a mile away, to celebrate over a drink and dinner – or sort supplies at the supermarket in Battle and spend the evening tending your barbecue back on site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Had a warm welcome on arrival, the field was a bit uneven but was able to level the caravan easy enough , a couple of big pot holes to be aware of, site was busy but it was Easter bank holiday, the site itself has some amazing dog walks around, the blue bells were in full bloom as were the snow drops. Lots of lakes for fishing if that’s your thing, all in all we had a relaxing 3 night stay. Would 100% stay again and have recommended already to a few friends. Think we might stay a week next time so husband can fish. Didn’t use the cafe but will do next time.

Disliked: The showers just need a bit of modernising, like the shower rail and the cubical it self etc, but on the whole was happy with the toilet block.

Great site, but bring your own or go out for dinner.

Liked: On site cafe was great as was the venue for fishing.

Disliked: One of the permanent residents was running a petrol generator both nights we were there up until 10pm which we found annoying and disturbed what should have been our peaceful time.

Local attractions

Before you hasten over to Hastings (20 minutes’ drive), you might want to figure out your plan of action, because there’s a lot of activities to choose from. A beach day? Up the cliff railway for views over the Old Town? Or peering at the fish in the aquarium? Castles and other historic sights are scattered around this area too, including the 14th-century Bodiam Castle (20 minutes), the 300-acre 15th-century Herstmonceux Castle (15 minutes) and the site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings (five minutes), now an English Heritage site. To add some more historic places into the mix, there’s the Benedictine Battle Abbey (five minutes) or the grand Great Dixter House & Gardens (25 minutes). And over in Bexhill-on-Sea (15 minutes), the beach is an added benefit on top of museums and the De La Warr Pavilion, which has shows and exhibitions in a Modernist building. To wash it all down, Carr Taylor Wines (15 minutes) runs vineyard tours. Or there are peaceful wildlife-packed wanders around the Powdermill Wood Nature Reserve (15 minutes’ walk) that will help to wind things down nicely.
