Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: We had a wonderful time we were lucky to have a very quiet time with only a few others on site. The owner was welcoming and helpful and was on hand if needed. Beautiful surroundings and a treat to have such a special place.
Disliked: It did feel a little like they weren’t ready for the season as some of the water equipment was not fully ready. But there was plenty for us to use that was ready.

Liked: Clean site Beautiful lake Children loved the kayaks and swing Kind, friendly hosts Lovely hot shower Parked next to our pitch Our dog loved running around the field Communal fire pit Beautiful wooden carvings We booked last minute and the site more than met our expectations. Hosts were very responsive and we all felt very safe. Beautiful surroundings, visited Bexhill-on- Sea which was well worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike! If had to give one suggestion it would be better signage as we got lost upon arrival

Liked: Campsite not too busy. We loved using the communal kayaks on the lake. There was even limited use of a fridge, freezer and gas stove. Toilets very clean and well stocked with toilet paper. There were also picnic benches which was very handy. Lots of things for young kids to explore and the swing was lots of fun.

Liked: Nice and quiet. Good campfire area. Lovely lake, kayak and paddle boards. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Toilets could do with a clean to get rid of the cobwebs. There is a water safety sign but could do with another one near chairs and kayaks, to remind all of parental supervision and need for flotation device etc
