Rusty shepherd's hut
Liked: It is a handy place to stay and does that well, there is good, clean, well kept amenities for everyone but don't expect activities or a play park, it isn't that type of place. Nicely Small site, only 3 huts and maybe 8 pitches for vans/tents but they are all massive and those in pitches can park in. Good location for Chichester and the beaches 10-15 mins drive either way. Clean and safe. Lots of space to play in a dedicated fenced off pitch. Pitch is furthest from the main road. Fantastic view across a sunflower field, lovely to wake up to! Bathroom and shower in hut a real bonus with kids. There are also communal facilities only 50yds away. Owner was only a text away and lives onsite , on call but didn't bother us which was perfect, even offered us tea bags kindly. Beds were comfy although as another person said bring own pillows as very thin but would do the job. Main double bed is large and comfy but a jump up onto it just to beware if trouble would need a step. Kids loved the two pod beds, bottom one fine for any age, top one our 6yr old was ok but I wouldn't put younger kids in it as the ladder needs to be moved to access the bathroom rather than it fixed to the side so usable all the time, just to note. Electric car gate with code keeps everyone secure. People said main road busy but we really didn't notice it even at night.
Disliked: Local pub the Anchor is nice to sit out and have a drink after a long day but average food, nothing special, I recommend booking Billy's on the beach or takeaway from mobys fish and chips, both lovely! We stayed end of summer season so needs a little refresh/ maintenance which I listed to the owner so weren't blamed for anything and the owner noted, apologised and said they will pick up or can provide /fix if we wanted immediately which was kind, so expect all sorted out now. Wasn't clear in listing you can't park beside the hut, you can drop off then park at front of site- 50yds max but with children and lots of stuff and not much space in hut that would be a bonus to have car beside you and we were able to as pitch next door wasn't in use but, can't normally to note.

Liked: Lovely small site with large pitch. Toilets and washrooms cleam and roomy. Very friendly staff who gave us suggestion of places we could visit in surrounding area. Bit of road noise from a busy road going past site but quietness down over night so not a bother.

Liked: Great clean and quiet campsite. Washing up area clean and tidy, tootles and showers clean, tidy and fully functioning. Great communication. Ignore other reviews about road being so close and really loud, whilst I knew the road was there I could not really hear it unless I was really focusing on it.
