Stone Pit Meadows

Kedvelték Amazing setting - peaceful campsite with large pitches in a wildflower meadow next door to a hop field. So pretty .
Lovely hot showers and flushing loos. Fire pits available and logs to buy.
There are two ponds in the wildflower field - one you can swim in. It didn’t affect us but families with young children should be aware that the ponds are not fenced
Great for unplugging - no WiFi and minimal phone signal!

Kedvelték We stayed in a bell tent which was lovely a really comfortable bed. The site is very peaceful with beautiful wildflowers and a gravel pit for swimming in. The toilets and showers are very clean.

Kedvelték The Cabin was well fitted out. Communication was great with the venue and they offered for us to check-in before 3pm

Nem kedvelték The signage could be a little more clear on the lane. We passed it a couple of times before finding the entrance. The mattress was very uncomfortable. I had trouble sleeping as I could feel the springs. A new foam mattress or a foam layer on top would help. I would chose a different venue only because it was difficult to keep my 6 year old boy entertained. We already live in a country location. Would chose a coastal location next time.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you for your review.

We are delighted that you enjoyed the Hut and took advantage of early check in, which we offered for no extra charge.

Detailed arrival and check in details are emailed to guests on booking. This email includes detailed information on how to find the rural site. There is also a Stone Pit Meadows sign at the entrance to the site.

It is true to say that we do not have any specific activities for children, and we don't advertise that we do have any (save for the wild swimming pond which has proven very popular with children and adults alike!). The site is deliberately a quiet rural retreat - as stated on the Pitchup listing. However, for those looking for a bit more adventure there is a river sports centre not 3 miles away (kayaking, canoeing etc) which also has a fantastic restaurant / cafe with live music and outdoor seating, along with the K&S steam railway about 4 miles away, and Bodiam Castle a very short drive. These are mentioned on the Pitchup listing as well as in the welcome pack in each Hut.

It is also true to say that we are a countryside site, not on the coast. This is evident from the map of our location and the site photos, and description. Our Pitchup listing states that we are a 'peaceful haven on a farm site in the High Weald countryside'. However, the beautiful coast in Rye is a short drive away, offering a historic town as well as popular beaches like Camber, Winchelsea etc a short distance.

We apologise that the bed was uncomfortable. This is genuinely the first time that we have had any review of the Hut beds being anything other than extremely comfortable, so shall investigate to ensure comfort for future guests. In regards the Wifi - this was given a very low rating however we have no other feedback so cannot comment much further. There is normally very good Wifi coverage on the site so not sure why you might have had problems. Occasionally the router needs to be rebooted which we can do instantly if made aware of the issue.

Again we apologise that you didn't have a 10/10 stay and will attempt to address those concerns you raised that are within our control.

SPM

Kedvelték Small campsite, wild swimming lake, wild flowers

Nem kedvelték Despite it saying it's adult only, there were a number of screaming kids staying in the bell tents! Loud music coming from there in the evening as well as loud music coming from off site nearby

Kezelői megjegyzés: Hi Kerstin

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you like the site.

Although we do not have any activities as such for children we are not an adult only site and this should not be stated on our listing. I have checked the listing now and cannot see that it says adults only, but I will ask Pitchup to investigate.

Unfortunately in Summer when we have group bookings there are more likely to be children staying. We do ask that noise is kept to a minimum to respect other guests however in this case the group booking clearly didn’t consider other guests. In regards music coming from outside the site I’m afraid we cannot control that but it is very unusual and we have never had an issue with it before. By the time I got down to the site following your complaint to investigate there was no longer any music playing so I cannot comment on where it was coming from.

Thank you

Kedvelték - great close-to-nature landscaping
- calm and secluded place
- privacy

Nem kedvelték - few sanitary facilities, but they are well maintained

Kedvelték You get to choose your own pitch. Pitches isolated, with all nice views either over the ponds or wild flower meadows.
Wonderfull and quiet. Shower and toilet and washing area very clean and suit the environment. ( basic)
Would stay here again.

Kedvelték A child-free site with just a few pitches, Stone Pit meadows is the perfect location for a peaceful break. Everything has been really carefully thought through and it shows. The wildflower meadow and wildlife ponds offer great opportunities for nature lovers (we saw a kingfisher!) and the walk through the vineyards and woodland on forest is great for stretching your legs after a night in a tent.
