Liked: Beautifully maintained campsite with lovely views into a stud farm. Good facilities but limited. Perfect for us though. Nice wash up area with piping hot water. Friendly staff sending me to a hard standing instead of chancing the field in wet weather. Attractive fishing pond if you are that way inclined. Close to an old Byway for a very pretty walk. Crowborough and a pub just 1.5 miles away.
