Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Wonderful staff in the pub, the facilities were clean and great. Large wedding going on, but didn’t interfere with our stay we were welcome to join the evening celebrations by the happy couple. Food was amazing considering they were also catering a wedding. So nice will definitely come back!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Staff were lovely and the pub was perfect. The campsite was clean and quiet in the evening. Perfect get away for us for a couple nights.

Disliked: We had accidentally forgotten our fire pit and the staff had said there were ones available. But there were not. Perhaps a few extras would be nice.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: This is the second time we have visited The bulls head, basic campsite with basic facilities but that's just what we like, the pub itself is lovely and the food is amazing, restaurant quality, great gluten free choices and really reasonably priced, my husband says it's the best fillet stake he's had. What really makes this stay special is the staff and the fantastic landlady nothing ever seems to much trouble, always friendly and accommodating, would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Local attractions

With something called the 1066 Country Walk running past the site, it’s not a huge stretch to guess that this is battlefield country… The 1066 Battle Abbey and Battlefield site is nearby to relive that all-important day in English history when King Harold (allegedly) got something in his eye, while there are other battle-y relics in neighbouring Hastings which also has Europe's biggest beachside fishing fleet and smuggling adventures at St Clements Caves. The 1066 route is just one of the many scenic walks in the surrounding countryside, or for day trips, Herstmonceux is recommended with its castle and the rural Herstmonceux Observatory Science Centre. As well as walking, Sussex sightseers can take the Kent and East Sussex Railway to puff along from Tenterden through the countryside of the Rother Valley to Bodiam with its National Trust castle, or stay closer to home with a trip up (or down) Hastings’s cliff railway which has the UK's steepest funicular railway. Hang on tight… For less adrenaline-fuelled sightseeing, options include a stroll along the nearby beaches – the seaside is just a short drive away – or a dander around Darwell Reservoir, surrounded by ancient woodland and the chance to spot woodpeckers and tawny owls. Meanwhile, mini battlers will be more than happy with the abundance of attractions in the area aimed at the little people, from the Blue Reef Aquarium at Hastings to getting bug-eyed at the birds of prey at Hailsham’s Knockhatch Adventure Park.
