General

Wildlife-packed park with foxes, deer and badgers
Coarse fishing ponds stocked with carp, roach, tench and perch
Shops, pubs and eateries within a mile

How might you fancy a peaceful break in a rural wildlife haven, with countryside views to the South Downs, spectacular westerly sunsets and a night under the stars around a campfire? Then Idle Hours could be the place for you.

Set on around three and a half acres, Idle Hours is an adults-only quiet site (strictly no groups and no noise after 11pm, please), with two attractive and peaceful coarse fishing ponds stocked with carp, roach, tench and perch. The site welcomes dogs, but please do keep them on leads while on site and remember to clean up after them.

Pitches are on gently sloping grass, and amenities include ladies' and gents toilets, a hot shower, a hot water washing-up area and a chemical disposal point. Fire baskets are available and logs and kindling are available for sale. Please note there is no mains electricity on site.

Despite its serene, pastoral surroundings, this site is very handy for shops, pubs and eateries, all about a mile and a half away.

Open from 04/01/2021 to 10/31/2021

Liked:	Beautiful scenery, fire pits, friendly host (Julie), relaxed site, adult only, Tesco just down the road, 45 mins from south coast
Disliked:	Train track at bottom of field, car traffic from road audible but not problematic, large party on site despite info saying no groups of 2 or more pitches. That said, it was a relaxed and friendly vibed site just not somewhere to go if you want more of a wilder or peaceful site.

Liked:

The Fire Pits made the colder nights that bit sweeter, The Owners came across really friendly and even suggested local places, The Fishing was decent for a quick little session, with plenty of small carp in there! Very Quiet and Relaxed and The Location was pretty ideal! Just down the road from Crowborough, so plenty of little pubs around! The facilities are unmatched in my experience, extremely clean and fresh and never actually had to wait to use them, despite the site being pretty full! Definitely going to revisit in the warmer months!

Local attractions

For those who fancy ditching the car for a bit, the site is close to public transport links: trains and buses from Crowborough (a mile and a half away) go to Tunbridge Wells, London, Lewes and Brighton.

Crowborough village has plenty of amenities, including an indoor swimming pool and gym, and a miniature railway. The area is great for golfers, with a number of courses nearby.

The spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells (to give it its full title) is eight miles from Owlsbury, and well worth a visit for a stroll round the specialist shops in the Georgian Pantiles, a taste of the water from the Chalybeate Spring, or a trip on the steam railway. The town also has plenty of food and entertainment options, including a multiplex cinema.

Other potential day trips include a jaunt to the coast at Eastbourne or Brighton; to Lewes, home to a castle, gardens and the biggest Bonfire Night celebrations in the country; the National Trust gardens at Sheffield Park and Wakehurst Place; the William Morris interiors at Standen; Ashdown Forest, home of Winnie the Pooh; or a steam through the Sussex countryside on the historic Bluebell Railway.
