Beech Estate Campsite

Líbí se: Beech Estate is one of the loveliest, off-grid, back-to-nature campsites I’ve ever stayed at. I originally booked a pitch for 1 night, but loved it so much I ended up staying for 4.

Leanne, Joe and the team were super friendly and helpful and I felt really welcome and comfortable as a solo female camper on a family-friendly site.

The pitches are well-spread out and feel really private, and you have lots of space to enjoy just for yourself. I explored the trails through the woods, enjoyed the peace and quiet, and getting to see the stars at night, took an outdoor morning yoga class and cooked on the campfire. And the bucket showers were so fab that I want one at home now!

I can’t wait to visit again 🏕️

Líbí se: The overall feel of the campsite was top notch, we couldn’t have asked for better surroundings. Perfect for anyone looking to get away from it all and just enjoy switching off in the stunning grounds of this estate. Loved everything from the bucket showers to the fantastic pitches with fire pits. Everything you possibly hope to have is all ready for you and makes the stay that much more enjoyable. The hosts were great and recommended the great walks, local activities, towns and pubs, especially the white hart. We only stayed for 2 nights but felt like we could have stayed forever. Thanks!

Nelíbí se: The mosquitos 😂

Od správce: So glad you enjoyed your stay at Beech! It is indeed a wonderful place to switch off and take it all in...including our bucket showers! We hope we see you back at Beech again soon.

Líbí se: The best places to camp in the wild nature!!!
Tent pitches are perfectly adapted to fit into the surrounding forest. There is a separate forest path to each tent pitch, which ensures that your tent site will give you peace and quiet and you can fully enjoy the surrounding forest nature. There is a secured place for a bonfire, compost toilets are perfectly clean and well-kept, a great idea with shower buckets. Beautiful paths through the forest.
Joe and Hugh were incredibly helpful during my stay at this campsite, for which I am extremely grateful. It's so beautiful there, everything is so well-kept, surrounded by nature, birds singing, peace and quiet, that I can't wait to go back there.

Nelíbí se: That I had to leave this wonderful place and go back to work ;) ;)

Od správce: Thank you for your kind words and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, your photos are wonderful too! Come back and see us soon.

Líbí se: We loved being off grid and getting back to basic. Letting the children enjoy being in nature. The sounds of the birds in the morning and the open fires in the evening make it more fun!

Nelíbí se: Nothing!

Od správce: Thank you for your lovely review! We are so glad that you had a fabulous stay and got back to nature - just what we hope all our guests do. And our bucket showers are a favourite among many!! We hope you come back to stay again soon. Thank you!

Líbí se: The bed in the bell tents are really comfortable and we had a great sleep. The campsite is very peaceful and quiet, you can’t really hear other people on their site. A lot of land to go for a walk and explore. All important utensils are provided, pans, plates, cups, cutlery etc. Washing up bowl, sponge and liquid provided. Hot shower and easy to use the bucket system. Choice of compost toilet or normal.

Od správce: So glad you enjoyed your stay in one of our Wild Glamping Bell Tents at Beech Estate. It sounds like you really embraced all that our glamping offers in the peacefulness of the Sussex countryside, particularly our fabulous bucket showers! Hope we see you again soon. Thank you

Líbí se: We liked the set up at Beech Estate. The communication was friendly and clear and efficient. We liked the distance between pitches. It was lovely to have a fire pit and our tent pitched in our own little clearing. We booked a Faraway Camping Tent Pitch and did ferrying our equipment with the wheelbarrows provided in 3 barrow loads. The car was left in the car park and we felt it was out of the way but near enough to be safe overnight. We used one bag of kindling and two bags of firewood to keep a fire going for 4 hours. Fire Grills were extra to hire so we just used small grill from our gaz burner close to the fire to keep the kettle boiling on the fire. We did not get any ticks on us at all! The camp wardens were friendly and helpful. The site was peaceful and we had a good nights sleep. We enjoyed walks on the diversely planted and well managed estate. We liked being able to separate our rubbish into recycling and general waste and glass and just took home our compostable rubbish. We saw baby bunnies, buzzards and fed the robins breakfast watching the sunrise! Beautiful Blissy experience. Thank you.

Od správce: Thank you for your lovely review! We're really pleased you enjoyed the stay and glad you spotted some lovely wildlife during your visit! We hope to see you again soon.

Líbí se: The staff were absolutely amazing. Always took the time to stop and speak to my 2 year old son. Nothing was too much trouble. The bell tent and pitch was amazing. Away from everything. We had woodland walks looking for animals, built a den, watched the stars and had such an amazing time. My son who hates showers even loved the rustic bucket showers :) we loved it so much we added another night!! We will definitely be booking for next year. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nelíbí se: Nothing. All was brilliant thank you 👍

Od správce: Thank you so much for your lovely review! It's so lovely to read about your experience and we're really happy you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you'll need to build a bucket shower at home! We hope to see you again soon.

Líbí se: Location, no cars next to pitches, open fires, fire grill available, forest pitch, large wheelbarrows to transport gear, clean toilets, very friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with the pitch I was given - secluded.

Nelíbí se: No logs/tree stumps to use as seating around the camp fire.

My pitch was at the end of path/pitch area so nicely secluded, but would’ve not enjoyed as much if had been assigned to some of pitches that I had to pass enroute to my pitch as they were quite open and not secluded.

Some guests didn’t observe the noise/music curfew.

Od správce: Thank you for your review. We're really happy to hear you enjoyed your pitch and the campsite. The majority of our pitches are quite secluded though we have some more open pitches that are generally used for groups. We'll always do our best to allocate a secluded spot if this is requested so it's worth mentioning this if you book with us again, we'd love to see you return.

Líbí se: Staff is friendly and ready to help, the camping site has good toilets, showers are available, good trails on site great for short-medium walks.

Nelíbí se: Having activities on site would be good, also 0 phone signal

Doporučit přátelům Navštívit znovu

Od správce: Thank you for your review. We're saddened that you wouldn't recommend us due to the phone signal and lack of activities. We run a back to basics, wild campsite that isn't always for everyone. We deliberately avoid activities and playgrounds as we have 600 acres of woodland to explore and play in. We also try not to have lots of people and children congregating in one area as this tends to create a lot of noise, which goes against the quiet, back to nature site that we promote.
We do have some phone signal on site, though it is limited. We operate an off grid campsite and promote a chance to disconnect and have a digital detox. Our wardens can always tell you the best spots to get signal and also have a usable phone in case of emergencies.
We're glad to hear you enjoy your stay regardless and would visit us again.
