  • Small family-run East Sussex site between Hailsham and Polegate
  • Eastbourne, Drusillas Park and South Downs within 15 minutes' drive
  • Access to Cuckoo Trail via footpath; walk/bike on paths to the towns
Take a slice of the easy life in East Sussex with a stay at Peel House Farm – this compact family-run site is surrounded by peaceful farmland, but it’s only a few minutes’ drive from both Hailsham and Polegate for handy access to shops, places to eat and other amenities. You can also reach both towns in a few minutes by bike, along a gravel/tarmac path of a mile, making this a suitable site for those travelling without a car (Polegate has a railway station, and there are bus connections to Hailsham). Even closer than either of those towns is the Cuckoo Trail, a popular 14-mile mostly traffic-free trail that makes a wonderful way to see some of the local scenery. It’s easily accessed from the site via a public footpath. More places to walk? You’ll be in prime position between the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, so there are plenty of options nearby. And with the coast just a few miles away as well, you can also take strolls around Eastbourne, Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters cliffs. Pick up supplies while you’re out and about, because barbecues are permitted on site and make a lovely way to finish your outdoor day. There’s a small play area and a recreation field on site where kids can tire themselves out for a decent night’s sleep, and the bathroom block has been thoughtfully kitted out with heating and family-sized cubicles with baby-changing facilities. The covered washing-up area has hot water, and you’ll also have access to wifi if you need it.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Electricity worked and there was hot water.

Disliked: The grass field is lumpy and the grass is long, unsuitable for tent camping. Facilities need to be cleaned more often. In general, the whole place needs some tlc.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Unfortunately the ground has been saturated until recently due to one of the wettest spring/summer on record. We are pleased to say now the ground is firmer we have managed to cut and collect the grass and the farm is looking great. Flowers are blooming in reception to greet our customers with sweet aroma and we hope to finish the refurbishment on the facilities block before this Summer holiday. The facilities are cleaned twice a day and if/when necessary in between but the poor weather has a lot to answer for. We urge customers to contact us during their stay if they are displeased otherwise there is little we can do to help after they leave. If you don’t tell us we don’t know!
