Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Easy to insert pegs. Friendly welcome. Well manicured lawned site. Well away from a main road. Shower had water with a nice temperature.
Disliked Low flying aircraft en route to Gatwick, but not many. I felt uncomfortable hogging what I thought was the only toilet and washbasin, not knowing there is a second one. The single shower, along with the rest, is a temporary structure, which isn't ideal.

Disliked Nothing
Peaceful site with good facilities.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very peaceful adults only site with a lovely vineyard next door serving evening food and drinks. We had a great grass pitch with lots of wild birds on the feeders, shady tree and no near neighbours. Good washing up facilities, drinking water and elsan point.
Disliked Only 2 ladies’ toilets for the whole site but they were clean and I never had to queue even though site was quite full so not too much of a problem. Showers were basic but ok. Our pitch was perfect but some of the pitches on the main field didn’t seem to have much shade.
Great small, friendly, clean site with generous-sized pitches. Perfect

Excellent site, friendly owners, beautiful views and clean
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The setting was idilic, quiet, well maintained and clean and the pitch owners were very welcoming and informative. Advised us of the best place to pitch up and what way to face given the weather, most helpful for new campers!
Facilities were clean and not too far from the pitch site. Washing up area had hot water and the portashower was a new thing for us but hot and clean. Shops a 5 minute drive away if needed.
Vineyard next door was a plus and worth a visit!!
The fishing lakes were another plus and when the sun shone it was beautiful and relaxing. More to explore in the area that we didn’t have time for. A site worth visiting and we will be back.
Disliked The weather but that is beyond anyone’s control!
