Beechenwood Farm

A aimé : We booked Beechenwood at the very last minute heading into the Bank Holiday weekend not knowing what we would find due to the timing. What we found was a little slice of heaven with lambs thrown in for additional joy.

Donna runs a wonderful little site and offers the perfect amount of engagement in ensuring everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves whilst keeping enough distance knowing people are on holiday.

- serene and peaceful
- basic facilities
- wonderful scenery and walking routes
- well managed site and farm

N'a pas aimé: - all I could add is I wish there was an additional tap and maybe a worktop as the bending down and water going on the floor could lead to a bit of mess in the wetter months but this isn't a dislike

A aimé : Our stay at Beechenwood was brilliant.
We went in the rain and wind to test out our new tent, the field was huge so we had plenty of space away from other campers. My children are loud so this was perfect for us.
The owners of the farm are lovely, they made us feel welcome straight away, we was allowed to explore the farm and go and hold some baby lambs. During our stay we witnessed one of their sheep give birth! Myself and my children was amazed by this, what an incredible experience!!!
After witnessing life being brought into this world we went off to see the horses.
This place is definitely more on the wild camping side which I think is great, it’s very cheap to stay here and the porter loo that was available was kept clean throughout our entire stay.
We will 100% be returning to this camp site so we can do some horse riding, and just because it was over all a wonderful camping trip!
You also have everything you need within walking distance or plenty of car parks if you wanted to drive. I would definitely recommend this place and we can’t wait to come back!

N'a pas aimé: Absolutely nothing to dislike about this place

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much Nicola for your review. We strive to teach the kids about the animals and nature and you certainly struck it lucky with the lamb being born!! Hopefully will have more time for the kids to ride the horses next time you come!! Look forward to seeing you again soon.

A aimé : Very pleasant campsite just north of Crowborough. Friendly welcome and basic facilities as advertised. Great for hiking across the Weald. Peaceful and plenty of room. Would definitely stay again.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Jonathan, thank you for your great review. Very impressed you hiked here from Wadhurst! Enjoy the rest of your hiking and we look forward to seeing you again soon 😁

A aimé : Spacious field on a running farm.

N'a pas aimé: The site is probably nice if you come prepared for wild camping. The only facilities are two portaloos that weren’t clean

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Rick, we are disappointed you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We do advertise we are a working farm as alot of kids like coming here to meet the animals. We have always verged on the wild side of camping to protect the abundance of nature around us. The toilets are cleaned every day and emptied weekly, occasionally we do find loo roll on the floor etc but are quick to remedy it as soon as we can. Once again apologies but maybe a more commercial site would suit you better.

A aimé : Friendly welcome
Solar lights in portaloo
Peaceful atmosphere

A aimé : Don & Donna were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Their site is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views, my girls got to enjoy their trampolines, bikes & slides & we were even invited to meet the animals (including riding the horses & holding the baby lamb!) It made the whole experience one we won’t forget easily for all the right reasons!

Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Natalie thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed our stay with us. We don't have the provision for showers unfortunately and don't advertise that we do have them. We are a back to nature site, quiet and peaceful. The leisure centre by our farm gate has showers, indoor swimming pool etc. too. We look forward to seeing you again😁🏕

A aimé : Our hosts were so lovely and accommodating to my work schedule!! They let us stay a few hours after our scheduled check out time! The campsite was lovely and it was a brilliant way to celebrate my 25th birthday!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Hopefully we will see you again soon!

A aimé : The owners were very nice and accomadating. They advised abut different walks in the area and later checked we were okay.

N'a pas aimé: This site is missold from the pictures. We could see large buildings in front of the campsite. There were obviously a travelling community staying on site. In the day this was not a problem but at night they were using an angle grinder on their vans. We were assured that there generators would go off at 9pm. It finally stopped about 4.45 am. They were very intimidating and at one point around 9pm drove near our tent with their headlights on our tent for longer than necessary and went into the woods to collect wood. They then returned back to their caravans and got out a chainsaw to cut up the wood. The picture on pitch up is of the adjourning field not the actual one you can stay in
We will not be returning.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Louise, we are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. The tree surgeons along the top were only here for a few nights and had been asked not to leave generators running. We did go out to them and told them but I gather one was started again afterwards. Rather than disturbing everyone late at night they were told that they would have to leave the following day which they did. I can assure you they won't be coming back! We offer peaceful camping and that is one reason why the trampolines, slides etc are a short distance away from the campsite so noise is kept to a minimum. The buildings to one end are offices that are not used at weekends and do supply security to the entrance. We are governed by the local council as to which fields we can use and there are several photos of the field used with views to the others unfortunately!! Once you are in the field you are surrounded by woodland one side and tree boundaries round the others. We are quite happy to offer you a free nights camping and once again are sorry that you didn't experience the usual peacefulness of our site.

A aimé : Quiet, stunning farm land, lots of wildlife. Super friendly hosts. I will be back!

N'a pas aimé: Nothing!
