Sheherezade Fruit Farm

A aimé : What a lovely few days at Sheherazade! Carol was welcoming and so were the geese, hens, Amber the dog and (my favourite) Blossom the pig. Great location for walks and pub stops. Fresh eggs, sausages and jams are a must from Carol’s stock. Facilities were more than sufficient. We stayed in the top field as needed electric hook up, but I had a stroll down to the lower field pitches by the lake and they looked super if you don’t mind off grid.

A aimé : Camping around the beautiful tranquil lake watching the ducks. Very relaxing location and at night it is great to sit around a firepit. Carol was great and makes delicious homemade jams too.Plenty of great walks and pubs nearby. Cant wait to go again soon.

A aimé : Lovely lake side pitches. A peaceful rural wild camping site set beside the orchard.

N'a pas aimé: A two field walk up to the showers and mains toilet which which our little one opted for over the portaloo in the bottom field.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Wow. I don't think I should be penalised because Abby was sent full details of the campsite and the fact that the facilities were in the top field but that there were portaloos by the lake in the bottom filed. Sadly, if the email I sent out with full details and instructions were ignored, it is difficult to say that this complaint should be upheld. Nobody else on this very busy weekend had a problem. Exercise is good for you!!!!!

A aimé : The owner was very friendly and helpful. The site has a beautiful lake and is a nice quiet location (apart from planes overhead).

N'a pas aimé: We were asked to camp in the lower field by the lake which is nice but the only loos are porta-loos in a cabin. No running water to wash hands although the owner did supply a watering can and soap to wash hands outside. The bathrooms and washing up area are 3 fields up, which is a do-able walk but would be easier if they were located nearer to the camping area. The bathrooms look new but are unfinished (unpainted). The are no shelves and just one hook. Also the loos are located in the shower rooms (there are 2 of them) and queues could build up whilst people waited. There are no facilities for re-cycling and so everything went into the bin!

Réponse du gestionnaire : So, you were told by me that you could pitch up wheresoever you wished but that everybody wanted to be by the lake. I suggested you go down to the lake to see if that is where you would like to be and you didn't come back up. You knew the main facilities were in the top field. I won't even dain to comment on the planes overhead but I'll have a word with Gatwick airport and ask them if they can reroute their planes away from the farm!!!!!!!! Not ever, even over the busiest weekend of the year at the end of August, were there any queues so please don't make statements that are completely untrue. I'm getting the impression that you won't visit again which is fine by me.

A aimé : The site is in a really beautiful setting within a working farm, where you pass an orchard and livestock in meadows on your way to the camping field. Pitches surround a pond and the field is framed by mature trees with a view to surrounded hills. Carol is a charming and responsive host and the farm foods on offer - esp pork and apple sausages and jam - were a delicious bonus. Facilities are basic but clean.

A aimé : We loved the amazing views, relaxed atmosphere, fire pit, the space in the field i.e there was plenty of space between the tents, the friendly welcome, the simplicity of the camp site and the peacefulness of the site. It was lovely watching the mist rise up from the lake in the early hours. The communal fridge in the main facilities was very useful. In addition to the showers and toilets in the main block, there were chemical toilets in the main camping field and these were kept clean. We were able to hire a firepit/logs for our stay which added to the magical atmosphere. We camped at the top of the field, so we could enjoy the view of the lake and the fields beyond. Bliss.
