Horam Manor Country Park

Liked -The campsite was lovely and clean.
-Owners were welcoming.
- Great space for the kids to play on the pitch
- Nearby to Knockhatch, Drusillas and the science centre is handy if visiting

Disliked - The riverside cafe is closed on monday and Tuesday and unfortunately we were not aware of this until our second day when we wanted to go there.
- The onsite shop doesn't stock much.
- The park pictured is not actually the park onsite
-Lack of information about local area, places to visit which are listed on pitch up (couldnt find listed nearby things on Google even)
- Firepits not allowed but BBQs are...
- The wooded area around the edge was unsafe with bent up barbed wire where people had obviously trapped it to go into the woods

From the manager: Hi Campers. Many thanks for your review. We appreciate them all, and we're please that you had a good stay. Unfortunately, the Lakeside Cafe/Bar/Bistro has never opened on a Monday or Tuesday, and as a completely separate business we have no control over their opening hours. We do have in our reception a iVisit England stand that has a large volume of leaflets re places to go throughout Sussex and the South East. Our licensing conditions prohibit open fires / wood burning on site, and we go to great lengths to make all of our potential guests aware of this. There are numerous campsites around East Sussex that allow open fires and if that is a preference, then guests should use those. With regard to the fencing around the site edges of the woodland - which is not our property - we are continually re-fencing those areas and we place signage to advise no entry. Unfortunately, unsupervised children (and as we have discovered, adults too) seem to believe that they have the right to tread down the fencing and venture into the woods. Thanks again for the review. T&D and the Team.

Liked Everything - we had a fab stay and came with our two grandchildren for a night in our campervan. Had a hard standing pitch with EHU. Pitch was a fab size; toilet/shower block was immaculate.
Site was very clean and exceptionally quiet giving how full it was.
Our young granddaughter cried when when left as wanted to stay longer - think that says it all.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Lovely family campsite, well maintained, good clean showers and welcoming staff. We liked the pitch which was non electric.

Liked The size of the campsite, the surrounding trees and hedges give this campsite an appealing 'outdoorsy' pleasant atmosphere. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Facilities were good, kept clean enough for a campsite. The set up of the showers/ toilets is very convenient, with spacious shower cubicles separate from the private cubicles for those who would rather dry wash. The shower cubicles have a separate area for drying and dressing. The hot water was consistently available allowing for adjustment to one's preferred temperature for a shower. Our group enjoyed every shower. The washing up area provides enough space for dishwashing for a number of campers at a time. The pitch size was generous, enough for privacy balanced with opportunities for interaction with neighbours. In addition to local walks, if fancying driving, there is the nearby Arlington Reservoir for a scenic walk and a bird sanctuary there, with a dedicated bird hide. Additionally, only 30mins drive to the start of the Seven Sisters cliff walk from Eastbourne and Eastbourne sea side.

Liked The most welcome campsite I’ve visited, someone always around if needed. Do phone if several book separately through pitch up as they will put you together, pitch up doesn’t. Have a lovely little shop on site and park, fishing lake walking distance (2mins), park and skate park walking distance (3min), cafe/pub walking distance (2min). All round a brilliant campsite to stay! We stayed with a variety of children with different ages which they all had something to entertain themselves! Lovely size pitches enough for children to play around and gather with family. All round lovely weekend we had!

Disliked Showers are very clean! But could do with a bench inside showers to sit to help get dry and dressed. And more hanging space for towel and clothes as currently only one and small shelves.

From the manager: Hi Shondae. Thank you so much for your comprehensive review. It means a lot to the staff that you appreciate the park. And thank you for your comments re the shower seating and hangers. Hope to see you again soon!! T&D and the Team

Liked The staff are so friendly and are always there to help. The site is clean and all the facilities are clean. There is a small play area on the site which is lovely for the children to all meet up and play. There is also a local park and a few local shops near by if needed. An ice cream van and food vans come onto the site which is nice if you don't fancy cooking breakfast or dinner. There is lovely walks around Horam fishing lakes as well as Lakeside café.

Liked The site was well cared for, the pitches of generous size and the staff were wonderful.

Attention to detail such as posters in common areas with details of local walks, takeaways etc. was a nice touch. The facilities were well thought out and clean.

Disliked It would seem we had the one pitch that the wasps loved as we seemed to be the only ones being hunted down by them, despite all efforts to keep food/drink outside to a minimum!

The traffic on the main road alongside the campsite was very noisy at night so definitely bring a good set of earplugs

From the manager: Hi Kerry. Many thanks for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed the park. Unfortunately, wasps are campers main nuisance, though we do not suffer from them unduly. This year the extended warm weather we have had seems to have exacerbated it. We think you were also unfortunate in that the Eastbourne Airshow was on while you were here, so the late leavers from Eastbourne use the A267 as a main route home to avoid the other more congested main routes. Again, we apologise for that. We're pleased to note that neither of these would prevent you visiting us again. We look forward to it! T&D and the Team

Liked Ottimo campeggio. Tranquillo, curato e ben tenuto. Piazzole ampie con carico disponibile sul posto. Wc chimico pratico e pulito. Bagni pulitissimi con docce ampie e calde. Possibilità di lavatrice e asciugatrice. Personale super gentile e cortese. Consigliato!
