Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely peaceful field, nice clean facilities and wonderful pub grub, this campsite is a little gem!
A very easy hike to Herstmonceux castle and an easy drive from Bexhill and Hastings, this is the perfect site for some East Sussex exploration.
Disliked: Nothing! It was spot on!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Loved the atmosphere of this campsite, the staff in the pub were really friendly, and even all the other campers seemed nice. The toilets were always clean. It's a basic campsite but that's what we liked.
Disliked: The only very minor thing, which wasn't even a problem in the end because it wind-shielded is, was the slope of the corner pitches we had. We thought it might be an issue, but never actually was.

Great basic site close to local walks and short drive from Hastings.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: It was great having a pub onsite. The staff at the pub were great with knowledge and a map of local walks on the 1066 route.
The camping area was spacious for the weekend we stayed even though it seemed like most pitches were taken. Toilets, shower and wash up area all were good.
It was also good to be able to use the fire pits and be able to buy logs from the pub too (just remember to bring something to start the fire off with).

Liked: Clean facilities, lovely shower! Washing up area was great, washing up liquid provided. Great pub with reasonable prices, 1 mile walk to local shop. Lots nearby to do!
Disliked: Very crowded on the Saturday evening, not much space in between pitches and dogs running in to our campsite (we don’t have dogs) but the owners quickly got there dog and apologised
