Liked: Basic but very pleasant site. Staff friendly on arrival. Access to the farm, shop and cafe is a bonus! I have older children 10 and 13 and they loved the farm. Easy 10 minutes drive down to Eastbourne seafront.
Disliked: Needs a little TLC in the toilets, just a broom round and dust up that's all.

Liked: Shops were a quick drive away, pub next door and the farm with the play area and activities was brilliant (and included in the porch price). Also nice to have the cafe (although it doesn’t open until 9 and we had to wait ages for food as so busy). Great to have butchers too but unfortunately the shop doesn’t sell other essentials or food to go with meat for a BBQ. It is perfect for little ones and for the weekend we didn’t need to leave the site except to do a shop. Staff were friendly.
Disliked: There was only one toilet open most the time and even when everything was open there was only the disabled toilet open in the cafe. This meant waiting ages for the toilet at certain times. I don’t understand why the others were not open. Luckily we had a potty for little ones. There are power lines over the field although could not hear buzzing. Also you can hear quite s busy road nearby - although didn’t wake us at night was very evident in the day.

Liked: Very little Left after one night
Disliked: The site was a field adjacent to farm shop and cafe. We were the only people there, and no one was on site after 7pm. Felt very unsafe. When we returned to pack up on Friday afternoon, we were still the only people staying.
