Liked: I stayed at this site for 3 nights. I had a very friendly welcome from Andy and Jenny. It was their first day on the job, and whilst I was on site, they worked tirelessly to improve the campsite. The reception was being decorated at the time. My hardstanding pitch was perfectly level. The site is surrounded by mature trees and has a very relaxed feel about it. The facilities block is a little tired but kept nice and cleen and the push button shower was lovely and hot. The wash up room had two nice big sinks with a washing machine and dryer in it. As the site is under new ownership, I expect improvements will be made to waterpoints and wastewater dumping which was a bit antequated. I would stay here again.
Disliked: Constant hum of traffic from the M20 and A20 which border the site.

Liked: The location was fab - just moments off the the M20/M26, however far enough away to not hear road noise. The hosts were amazing - from the moment I turned onto the property to leaving at the end of my stay, I was made to feel incredibly welcomed. I loved my pitch location. The showers were nice and warm. Everything was clean.
Disliked: The taps in the washroom stay on for a matter of seconds which made washing my hands a little difficult, but this is such a minimal issue and certainly not a deciding factor, especially as it’s easy enough to keep pushing the button down!

Liked: Very friendly welcome on arrival. Lots of local knowledge offered by the owners. Staff member Ian couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great stay. Lovely woodland location, peaceful. It was clean and tidy. Basic but sufficient facilities. Recently taken over so new facilities are being installed, like an on-site shop and cafe.

Liked: Lovely small site surrounded by wonderful country walks. Now under new ownership with lots of improvements being planned. Was able to change pitch to make the most of the sunshine, nothing too much trouble will definitely be back.
