  • 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.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Ruhig, nicht voll gepackt mit Wohnmobilen, sehr viel platz, sehr freundlicher empfang, schöner platz, schönes gelände,

Disliked die Sanitäranlagen könnten eine Renovierung gebrachen, vor allem die duschköpfe sollten erneuert werden, der Wasserstrahl ist zu fest zu kurz und geht an die wand, das macht den Duschvorgang nicht ganz einfach, ich denke ältere Camper haben es da nicht ganz leicht.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked We had a lovely time staying at peel House farm! We received a warm welcome when we arrived, and were given a choice of where to pitch up. 😁 The toilets and showers were always nice and clean, and the water warm at no extra cost.
It was lovely and quiet on the site there is a bit of traffic noise from the road but I found when I wanted to go to sleep and earplug worked well! It's also stopped me hearing my partners snoring. 🤣. If you want a lot of things on site this is not for you but if you like a simple quiet site it's wonderful.
Great if you want to cycle up and down the cuckoo trail which is within a very short distance or to walk!
