Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: My children loved learning about the animals, they were lucky enough to feed the chicken, ducks, pig and goats and collect eggs. The site had everything we needed and was spread out and quiet. The owners were lovely and so helpful. There were activities for the kids including; badminton, football, swingball and connect 4.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The site felt very safe as a woman travelling alone. The pitches are very clearly separated by the cut grass and each has a picnic bench and a fire pit. They were level and easy to pitch on. You can choose your own and drive up to the pitch. The toilets were very clean, and the fresh eggs (with honesty box) and shared outdoor kitchen were a nice touch. I was visiting friends in Brighton last minute, and this was a very budget friendly and easy method of doing that.
Disliked: It was quiet while I was there, but the facilities are two portaloos and two portaloo showers. These were very clean and I never had to wait, but I'm not sure how that would go on a busier weekend. I also didn't see the owners at all, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but a point.

Liked: A great camping site. Beautiful setting. Owners welcoming. Took the time to show our children the animals. Communal kitchen great. Would definitely recommend

Liked: Absolutely lovely site! Spacious and relaxed, brilliant for animal lovers. I loved waking up to the pig, goats, chickens and horses. The price was great and loos and showers very clean. Showers were also really powerful and hot which we loved! We didn’t bring children this time but it was clearly an ideal place for them. Kitchen area was useful when our stove wouldn’t work - kettle and lots of other bits available. Logs and eggs also available for purchase which was great. Owners were super friendly and helpful. Site was easy to find and well signposted, we also felt comfortable coming and going, we were left to do as we liked but also checked in on so the balance was perfect. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

Liked: Pitches were intimate, but enabled privacy. Great addition to include picnic benches and a fire pit with each pitch too. Having some farm animals, as well as eggs and logs for sale was a bonus. Toilets and showers were clean and practical.
Disliked: Being very picky, but the clips holding the shower heads in place had become detached. This meant on our last morning that we had to hold the head to shower. Very minor issue and an easy fix.

Beautiful place, would totally recommend to all campers.
