Kezelői megjegyzés: I can see your first stay was in May of 2016 with intermittent stays generally over the summer months. Your last stay was earlier this year when we had the same amount of long stay guests as we do have now, approximately 14 out of 268 pitches. Our long stay guests are friendly and keep to themselves with the majority of them working professionals, retirees or young families. I am surprised that your wife felt threatened by them and this was not brought to our attention during your stay.
There are no additional fences apart from the ones that were erected for The Wealden Times Mid-Winter Fayre that was on whilst you stayed here. We are not aware of any clutter unless you mean the odd firepit or camping chair being used by either short or long stay guests. When checking the site we will now look into the streams in case any stray paper has been blown in there.

Kedvelték Second time visiting great place for a quiet stay, unfortunately the chemical waste was closed off and very smet but otherwise had a great stay

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for choosing to stay with us on more than one occasion.
The chemical toilet disposal has 3 sinks on the outside for use, the gate to the inside is locked and only opened by maintenance when being emptied.
We look forward to your next visit.

Kedvelték none of it

Nem kedvelték Not clean and pitch muddy

Kezelői megjegyzés: I am sorry you did not enjoy your 2 night stay.
The majority of campsites close at the end of October due to fields becoming too muddy, we have decided to remain open for those who either need to or want to stay, however the grass will be wet and the soil muddy which is something beyond our control.
I hope you still enjoyed your dog walking through the empty fields.

Kedvelték Proximately to Tonbridge. Level pitches. Electric and water available at the pitch.

Nem kedvelték The site is ideal as a stop over or to use if attending a local event is on. I would not use it as a holiday or a relax location as the cost does not justify the environment/facilities. Early morning noise of Marquee construction, wagon being unloaded just prior to 0700 on a Saturday morning then the noise of workmen banging metal work - something that re-occurred on the following morning, albeit an hour later. I understand work has to be done but this was obviously scheduled and we could have been made aware of it at booking. Chemical toilet disposal being locked up and unavailable. Late night site noise including vehicle movements 2200-0100. Site had many obvious contractor/working vans on it and these were regularly left running, possibly charging/warming up.

Kezelői megjegyzés: I am sorry you did not enjoy your 2 night stay arriving later in the evening when already dark. When looking to book on Pitch-up it does say "Throughout the year large events take place and the site is open to the public" and on The Hop Farm website there is a list of events and dates.
The chemical toilet disposal has 3 sinks on the outside for use, the gate to the inside is locked and only opened by maintenance when being emptied.
We do not have any contractors on site and our long stay guests who go to work usually leave between 6am and 9 am, it must have been another short stay guest having to go out or leave for an early ferry crossing.
At this time of year there are no other campsites in Kent offering electric hardstanding with grass pitches and the general use is for an overnight stay to either enjoy a walk and then a campfire,visiting family/friends locally or on route to/from a ferry port rather than as a holiday destination.

Kedvelték The wide open spaces of the Hop farm and the walks.

Nem kedvelték This is our 2nd stay at the Hop farm. Unfortunately it will also be our last. Well over half the pitches are now occupied by permanent residents, now I have nothing against permanent residents, but on the whole these residents go out to work each morning returning sometime that evening, and with so many the usual friendly dynamic of a campsite was gone. The washrooms, which were supposed to have access by code, were simply open, so they were being used by workers from around the farm, and potentially also locals walking through the farm. We've visited many campsites, but the state of hygiene in the facilities in the mornings was a disgrace. This alone was sufficient to ensure we will never return.

When you stayed in May the long stay guests were on a different field, however in November due to pitch conditions we only have the 1 electric field open. If there had not been any long stay guests there would have only been 2 other pitches occupied and with it getting dark early the dynamics would not have been the same as our summer months..
The wash rooms do have a working code, however if the doors are not closed properly the general public will use them, they did have 2 daily cleans and the workers setting up for The Wealden Christmas Fayre had other facilities to use.

Kedvelték Plenty of space with a great walk along the river to East Peckham and back via the Man of Kent. Accommodating staff let us move from our waterlogged pitch. Water piped to the pitch was an added extra.

Nem kedvelték Gents toilets were a bit of a war zone. Considering the low occupancy level, no effort was made to clean/fix two (out of three) of the toilets. Had thought the attendance of the cleaner would improve things, but unfortunately no!

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you enjoyed yourselves.
At this time of year during the week the facilities are only cleaned once per day any issues in-between cleans need to be brought to our attention to be rectified.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Kedvelték Very peaceful and relaxing with beautiful surroundings and plenty of fields to walk your dogs round

Nem kedvelték Shame there wasn’t a shop that you could buy bread milk etc

We are unable to sell perishable items due to the lack of demand, it would be a waste to have to bin out of date stock.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Kedvelték Quietness,staff

Nem kedvelték No heating in the shower block

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for choosing to stay here and for leaving a review as even negative ones help us to improve your stay.
The management are looking into putting heating into the shower/toilet block.
Perhaps you will visit again when the weather is warmer.
