From the manager: Thank you so much for your review. As a small business we pride ourselves in taking good care of our site. I'm sorry you found the toilet narrow. I assume this was the one in the converted horse box and you were able to also use the bigger toilets behind the onsite cafe?
We hope to see you back with us again soon.

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch (lake view)
Liked Easy to find. Very friendly and helpful checking in Lady that walked me and Teddy to our pitch which was as described, hard standing with a woodern decking area over the water. Toilets and showers were nearby also a washing up area too. Peace and tranquility, the river Medway accessed through a locked gate with river side walks towards the Hop Farm or Yalding ( the Boathouse pub).
