Guests praise the friendly and welcoming host, Carol, the farm animals, and the idyllic natural surroundings. Facilities include clean kitchens and shower blocks.

Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great location but site poorly executed.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Good location quiet and lovely dark skies. Main facilities clean and tidy. Showers are good
Disliked Distance from lakeside pitches to toilets/shower/kitchen about 5/8 min walk over uneven ground
Not aware of sheep/goats running free so pitches do have a lot of poo about
Only one portaloo useable for the 10 or so pitches in the lake field
Was bitten after geese by toilet block attacked as I walked up to the building.You have to get past them and potentially the owners dog (if it is out) to get to the block
Owner adding 'don'ts that were not in listing...i.e. do not take dogs up of near toilets, keep dogs away from hers
There is not a fresh water supply in the lake field

From the manager: Well how did I know you were going to give me a bad review Michael. Your friend was given the low down on everything when she arrived but you were 2 hours later and I had to go out. You are sadly, just a grumpy old man who cannot even accept an apology well. You taunted my dog to distraction by walking yours up and down the fence line and I don’t appreciate Rupert not feeling comfortable in his own home. On each occasion you did this it took me hours to calm him down. He has never behaved like that before so don’t pigeon hole him as such. I pride myself on being generous and allowing your dogs here and I noted this morning that, despite my request that your dogs are kept on a lead in the bottom fields, that you ignored that. I didn’t say anything at the time but this response to your review tells you exactly what I think of you.
A little respect for someone else’s property and animals would have been nice but clearly you are not a generous soul. Yes you were bitten by the geese but I suspect you walked towards them, taunting them as well, and they were threatened by that. I also apologised for that but as already stated, you could not be gracious enough to accept it when I came over this morning to check on you both. Don’t ever come here again as you will not be welcome you awful man. As you can see from all my other reviews, you are alone in your outrageous comments.
Tranquility and an outstandingly pretty site.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked What a wonderful host Carol was!
It’s all really well set up and Carol is still continuing to upgrade, like the new gate and fence - looks great and even easier to use now!
Best facilities we have ever had camping, and the walk there you are kept very entertained by all the well loved animals. <3
Fantastic view, we went by the upper hedge overlooking the lake.
No noise, no wind as it’s sheltered, just peace and quiet.
Very short walk to a local pub for a great meal and a couple of bitter shandies!
Other campers were all lovely, had a few nice chats and everyone was very respectful.
Very little light pollution, so we got to see the special moon and Jupiter and Venus at 3am.
We have had the most fantastic time, thank you so much.
Disliked That I forgot to come and buy some of the jam! We will just have to come again haha!

Great facilities, beautiful location.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We loved our stay at Sherezade Fruit Farm. The tent was pitched by a lake with baby ducklings in beautiful countryside, with a great firepit and a big sky full of stars. We found a whole network of footpaths in the area and wound up at the pub in Old Heathfield before turning back. It felt like a proper adventure through woods, corn fields and churchyards. It was a special few days, we loved all the animals and Carol was a great host. Facilities really good, even a fridge which was really handy. Would recommend.

Electric optional grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked This is a beautiful campsite, lovingly kept and a real oasis of calm. We pitched by the lake which was fantastic. We had a lovely night's stay, great facilities, wonderful eggs and home made jam. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much Carol for taking such care to give us a great stay.

Beautiful remote camping spot only a few miles from Hailsham.
Electric optional grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked Great communal facilities that are well-kept, including a full indoor kitchen and shower facilities. The site itself is beautiful and very private, with the main lakeside camping area far away from the main house so it feels like camping out rather that slepingt in someones yard! Carol is friendly and helpful.
