Liked: We keep coming back to Knowler Farm, as it has friendly staff and lots of space for all kinds of family structures. Fire pits are provided for a reasonable fee and horse-box adapted showers are quite good. The surrounding area is stunning and sky at night is the most gorgeous black dotted with many stars. It is usually quiet and good for sleeping, good connections to local attractions and Canterbury is very close. Knowler Farm boasts a family run cafe which is lovely. We will keep coming.

From the manager: Hi there! and we will keep looking forward to your visits. We've had some unpredictable weather so far this season but there have been some good night time skies and hopefully lots more to come. Its great to give all your comments and very helpful for future guests so thank you so much for taking the time to write. We will see you again soon I hope and there will be some great coffee and cakes in the cafe waiting for you. all the best The Giffords

Liked: Everything - such a wholesome, lovely and well managed site
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We love that :) "wholesome" definitely somthing we would be aiming for for the future. We really want to keep our carbon low and a green site is quite difficult to achieve fully as everyone needs to be on board with it but it really helps when people like yourselves can appreciate what our aims are. Thank you so much, we look forward to you visiting again. Kind regards The Giffords
Facilities were basic but clean, perfect for what we needed.
