Positiv Loads of space, good views, open fire, showers etc. Also the farm is 'characterful' with lots of machinery etc, including a jet engine, to look at. Also, good food available on site.

Negativ It's just a little unusual.

Positiv Unfortunately, I didn't get time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings other than by car.

I was received with a genuine, heartfelt greeting by the owner upon my arrival, which says it all.

The campsite was beautiful, quiet, and clean.

I look forward to going back this summer.

Negativ Nothing!

Positiv Quiet with plenty of wildlife. Spacious. Facilities fine. Staff friendly and helpful.

Negativ Nothing. But would suggest just one or two sockets - perhaps a communal fridge. But given the size of the place that may be unfeasible.

Positiv The area is clean, peaceful, and well-organized. Perfect for relaxing in nature. Highly recommended!

Positiv Apologies - very little.

Negativ The site feels like a forgotten field down a long, bumpy track. The toilet facilities were beyond basic and no shower that I saw. I understand there are showers on the other site but that should not the only option.
The washing up facility was a single, non-plumbed sink on a wood stand, so pointless almost.
The site notes 20 mins to Hever Castle, it's more like 40 along quite dangerous roads.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
In response, we would like to point out we advertise Pond Field to be more remote with cold water and flushing toilets only (not compost or portaloos, but a clean, stocked cabin with proper flushing toilets)
We decided to add the kitchen sinks to offer a place for people to wash up near to the water, so they don't have to hike it back to their pitch; and also have sinks at waist height to save people's backs bending over washing up at ground level, or on their own camping tables. Yes it isn't plumbed in, as neither are the washing bowls people would have to take back to their pitches.
We advertise the field as down a bumpy track, and people are advised of the 5mph speed limit. Our guests pay to be back to nature in a field that is visited by deer, under a blanket of uninterrupted stars on clear nights, and far from the road.
The option for being in Farm Field, with hot water amenities, showers, food wagon and direct road access is given when filling out the booking form- and guests in pond field are most welcome to walk the farm track to Farm Field to access any amenities they may need, or drive the 2 minutes up the road.
I can assume you walked the road way to Hever Castle- we do have maps on the walls of the toilet blocks advertising the 20minute route to Hever via the lane and footpaths. This route is mainly off-road, and much quicker than your 40 minute walk down the main road.
We wish you well on any further camping adventures you have, and remind you that our family works tirelessly to provide everything for campers visiting us- for £12 for an adult a night- from toilet cleaning & restocking, improving facilities, insurances, staffing, helping people with dead car batteries/phones/airbeds- lifts to stations, guidance on everything you can think of, litter picking, organising free events- and after long hours and long seasons, it hurts that you describe our field as 'forgotten'- I assure you it is not- we love what we do, and put everything we have into it.

Positiv Great facilities, lovely view and helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
