Liked: Lovely green spacious pitches - felt like you were staying in the middle of an orchid - which you are in fact! Hosts Simon and Karen were friendly and helpful and the facilities were all spotless - nice hot showers and plenty of space. Perfect and we will definitely be back!

Electric grass pitch
Liked: A very relaxed site, level, relatively small (45 pitches I think) surrounded by orchards & nearby excellent pub. Smallest shop (milk, bread, local eggs, few other bits) but not far from Faversham for local shops and supermarkets. The loos are clean, elsan is practical, washing up area is in a lean-to, fresh water taps in abundance, good electric points. Pub is fabulous (the Alma). Lots of groups of friends & families, often fairly local, evidently come regularly to meet. No late noise however & all very friendly. The managers, Simon & Karen live on site, are extremely approachable and keen you have a great time. The owners were also present and welcoming too. Central to a lot of historical sites, Thanet & Dover and only a couple of miles from the motorway. The immediate roads are narrow but not ridiculously so. Loved it.
Disliked: If you want entertainment provided, clear pitch lines, regimented rules and regulations then don’t come here. If you don’t like dogs (on leads) or laughter or children playing, think carefully.

Liked: Really well organised and clean. Site managers were excellent - just the right combination of organised and relaxed to offer a really lovely service. Nicely spaced pitches and no problem hiring a fire pit which we've struggled with elsewhere. The orchard trees make all the difference. They add character unique to this site as many are just open fields. Take away pizza from The Alma was a godsend after a delayed arrival and rushed pitch.
