Liked: Very friendly and helpful lady on site (Karen), lovely views (including sunset), spotless facilities and proximity to beautiful vineyard next door. Talking of which… would be super helpful if owner would consider creating a cut-through between site and vineyard, rather than clients having to walk along dangerous road to get there. Some synergy between these 2 great destinations could work well…

Liked: Good quality facilities. Friendly hosts. Very peaceful campsite. The fire pits made out of recycled car wheels is a nice touch. Lovely view of the downs. Had a really pleasant stay. The vineyard up the road does an interesting tour and serves pizza.

Liked: Such a lovely little campsite with the added benefit of having Downsview vineyard a 3-4 minute walk along the road. Julie was lovely, the site was well maintained with pretty views, and the toilets were clean at all times. Thank you.

Liked: Quiet and small yet clearly popular site. Very neat and tidy surrounded by greenery and views. Clean toilet and shower facilities. A Kingfisher was spotted by the fishing pond.
Disliked: Small point: We went to the neighbouring Vinyard for pizza (Friday evening) which was lovely but it would have been great if we could have cut through from the campsite rather than walk down the road.
