Liked What a lovely peaceful location .... nice to have the chickens visit me in the morning too. It's a nice field with great views and the pitches are well spaced so it was quiet and relaxing. Great showers - nice and strong and with proper taps not push button. A little bit quant and quirky with trailer for great views, washing up and sitting down plus cow feeders for fire pits. Owners gave great directions. I'll be back as it is ideal for people who like natural beauty but with essentials ie shower and toilet!

Liked It was cheap, but … (see later) The field was literally behind the pub It was a beautiful area

Disliked The big buts are that, despite being in a beautiful area and easy for the pub; - the site was overcrowded. There were 20 pitches and in our view that site would take no more than 15. So you were too close to neighbours. Owner needs to be less greedy! - there was one group of seven pitches who clearly knew each other and for that reason made a huge noise as they shouted to and fro. That was 14 adults, maybe 10 kids and similar noisy dogs barking and wining. Owner needs to manage groups. - site is basic as it’s cheap - no problem, but really not even a soap dispenser at the cold tap in the toilets? No bins to save a few quid? - pub was on the pricy side and food average. This is an idyllic area - take fewer pitches and manage them.

From the manager: Our site is exactly as described, a rural campsite in a beautiful area. We offer toilets with a cold water sink (and soap!), a basic washing up area, no showers, no waste disposal. All of this is stated in our listing so I never understand why people then sometimes mention this in reviews and say they’re not happy when you knew that before booking. If you want more facilities than we offer then my advice is very simple, don’t book to stay here, book somewhere more suited to your requirements…. To me It’s like booking a 3 star hotel and then saying you wanted the luxury of a 6 star hotel, then book a 6 star hotel. We have permission for far more than the number of pitches we had and the field is 1.6 acres! We allow pitches around all four sides, we could fill the entire field in rows an earn far more but we choose not to do that so I can assure you greed does not come in to it, but naturally we do need to fill a certain number of pitches to sustain our small independent family run business. We keep the huge middle area clear as communal space which surely you must have noticed! (For others reading this, you’ll see lots of people mention how spacious it is) This area is for everyone to enjoy and that’s exactly what we witnessed people doing all weekend, why on earth would we want to restrict this or prevent people from having fun. This naturally attracts some noise but in our view, nice noise, children playing ball games and enjoying some freedom. At nighttime there was absolutely zero noise and this is something we do always “manage” if ever needed but this weekend it was all families so no one was up late. When I undertook my late night final check at around 11pm you could hear a pin drop in the area! Daytime noise in a campsite I do not see as an issue and perfectly normal. If you want silence maybe book a retreat. The pitches that were very close together were groups of friends and families so naturally they will pitch together and we don’t feel this is something we need to “manage” as what could be nicer than people enjoying themselves together on a campsite. You also visited on the busiest weekend of the year being the August bank holiday so I would be very concerned if we weren’t busy on this weekend and I think you’d struggle to find a campsite in West Sussex that isn’t fully booked on the main bank holiday of the weekend especially when the sun is shining. Not sure why you referred to the pub as average as you ate all of your meals, raised no concerns, it was an lovely atmosphere this weekend and we made you welcome as we do everyone that walks through our door. I hope you find somewhere more suited to your requirements in the future to dine and to stay at. Best wishes Sophie

Liked Very good value! Friendly owners.

Disliked Nothing really, all clean and good. A little traffic noise
