The Oaks

Liked: Lovely grounds, really well maintained and the owners of the manor were absolutely fantastic. The toilets were well kept and very nice and there were lots of lovely animals there too!! Goats, chickens, horses and butterflies! It was a dream!

Liked: We were given a very warm welcome by our host Emma. I felt at ease instantly. The site is beautiful, peaceful and tranquil. The pitches well spaced apart so you feel you have your own space and all overlooking a field in the middle which is home to some lovely goats. There are lovely clean toilets and fresh water on site. Emma kindly allowed my very energetic 5 year old to feed the goats and the chickens. She was brilliant with him. So very patient. Wood and kindling were supplied for a very small fee. My 12 year old really enjoyed lighting the campfire and toasting marshmallows at night. We only stayed one night but would have happily done another night.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Isabel - it was lovely to welcome you all to our wild flower field at The Oaks, and such a pleasure to spend some time with your wonderfully interested son talking about the animals! We're so glad that you all enjoyed a little Time Out and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Emma :-)

Liked: Super kind owners, very helpful and welcoming. A boutique campsite, quiet, with only half a dozen pitches. All pretty level and sculpted in meadow grass. A gem. Beautiful surroundings, sheep field, woods around the pitches. My son got to feed the sheep and he loved the games in the shed he was allowed to use. A clean and attractive loo too! We intend to go to this site again and it’s our new favourite.

Liked: perfect for a few days to get away from real life and allow children to be wild! Quiet and peaceful

Liked: We loved our stay here-owner really friendly and showed us everything we needed. Only a few other pitches which is definitely part of the appeal! On the grounds where they have some sheep and vegetables growing. Definitely come again.

Disliked: Only thing is this site is off a road and in a flight path zone. Still quiet all things considered but did have to get used to the planes flying over initially. Did not deter me personally.

From the manager: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, Laura, and look forward to welcoming you back - enjoy the rest of this Sunny Summer! Emma :-)

Liked: Beautiful scenery! So easy to find but feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere as it’s so peaceful. We had so much space and were able to do some amazing stargazing too. Emma and Adrian are both so lovely and helpful and are there whenever you need them. Also the toilets are immaculate! A fab stay, will definitely come back.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your wonderful review - we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay so much - especially the stargazing! Have a good rest of the summer and hope to see you next year - Emma :-)

Liked: We were travelling through the area on business and had booked last minute for a much needed stopover. Emma the host was friendly and welcoming. The toilet facilities were immaculate, always a bonus! We were travelling light and there were garden chairs that we could have used if necessary. There was also a lovely old bench in the little orchard area so we didn't miss our own facilities, perfect for just relaxing and watching the sheep in the field.

Disliked: None

Liked: * Perfect little site - quiet, small, calm * Basic clean outdoor sink, and then couple of small very clean toilets in a barn * Lovely friendly owners who helped our little one feed the sheep * Lots of wildlife about for small kids to look at - we saw ladybirds, sheep, butterflies, bees, frogs, moths, rabbits, grasshoppers, blackbirds etc

Disliked: The only downside really is that you're not a million miles from Gatwick and some of the planes are very loud - fine when you're active during the day, but during the night it's not ideal

From the manager: Thanks so much for your review, Christopher. It was lovely to have you to stay - and fun to have some help feeding the sheep! Hope to see you again - Emma :-)

Liked: A lovely, small site surrounded by nature for a little getaway. We especially liked the freedom of choosing where to pitch up, and that they keep numbers low so it doesn't feel crowded. Facilities were more than enough for what we needed - really nice, smart, clean toilets and helpfully located sinks for washing up. The hosts were lovely, and really accomadating to our request to bring our cat along provided he stayed on a lead (and he thoroughly enjoyed walks through the wildflowers, smelling the rabbit warrens, and watching the sheep from the van) Would recommend :) Overall just a lovely peaceful way to spend a night
