Kedvelték Clean and tidy. Nice pub and owners

Nem kedvelték To improve could be wider on the entry for caravan. Shower and chemical waste point are needed

The gate is wide for anyone reading this as would not like anyone to think there are access issues. I have personally had an eight wheel 20T Tipper Lorry through the gate as well as a 36T Digger so a caravan is not an issue. We also had a large RV access last year who had booked to camp with us, so in the 13 years we have been at the pub I have never had a vehicle that could not access.
We don't offer showers or chemical disposal points, our EA Discharge licence does not permit this and as the maximum stay with us is 3 nights (4 on a bank holiday weekend) then we don't foresee this as an issue. We offer as we advertise, no more no less. If anyone looking to book wants more facilities than we can offer then please don't book to stay at our campsite as we genuinely hate to have dissatisfied guests when we do our upmost to be totally transparent with our offerings ahead of anyone booking a stay with us.

Kedvelték There were only 4 other campers when I took an impromptu trip out after work on a Friday so lovely and quiet. Regardless, a spacious field. The loos are clean. The Blue Ship pub is a lovely old building, no music so good for a conversation with locals. Food was top notch and the staff warm and friendly. Lovely landlady. Seabrooks crisps!

Nem kedvelték You have to go through a metal field gate on arrival which swings back into place. As it opens towards your vehicle on arrival it was impossible to keep it open and drive in on your own. I had to take a heavy box out of my vehicle to prop the gate open, so a lot of faffing after a tiring drive. When I was leaving there was a road cone there but not on arrival.
Best to park on the left of the field as there's a road directly behind the hedge on the right.
If you're a screen hog be warned...there's practically zero internet reception.
Otherwise perfect :)

A side note re the dislikes mentioned.... Sorry to hear you had trouble operating the gate, it appears from your description you have opened the gate the wrong way! Hence why it would not stay open! The cone is always there and is to the left of the gate as this is in fact there to prop open the pedestrian gate when needed for wider vehicles.
And re the road, it is a very quiet small country lane that is mainly used by either people visiting the pub / campsite, locals who live here, horse riders or farm vehicles as we are in a rural location surrounded by farm land and not on a route people pass through as the road goes no where! So other than a few cars, the sound of horses hooves, or perhaps a tractor you would certainly not be disturbed by passing traffic if camping on our site. I would hate anyone thinking of booking to read this and somehow interpret these comments as if we are on a busy A road or something as it could not be further from that. It would also be very tricky to reach the pub if there was no road here :-)

Kedvelték Lovely spot, friendly site, great pub with the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever had.
Made very welcome.
Beautiful countryside.

Nem kedvelték Would ha appreciated rubbish bin as half our party came by bike so difficult for them to take away

It is very clearly stated in our listing prior to booking that we offer no rubbish disposal and this is also reflected in our pitch rates. The cost of commercial rubbish disposal is huge now so we would have to significantly increase our pitch rates to enable us to offer this which we opt not to do.

Kedvelték Easy access and choice of pitch. Well signed with rules etc.
Very good toilet block. And access to water for washing up outside.

Nem kedvelték The weather! But nothing can be done about that!😁
No EHU, but that was stated in the description. Just my personal thing..

Kedvelték Really liked the ease of just heading through to the pitch. The grass area was very spacious and neatly cut. Plenty of space without being too close to other campers. Lovely walk starting opposite the pub. We arrived back at the pub late but Sophie went out of her way to pop in and get us a drink, very much appreciated. Toilet block clean and plenty of loo rolls and soap. Electric handryer too.

Nem kedvelték Loved it all!

Due to our rural location we don't offer wifi (nor claim to) and mobile reception is totally out of our control. We say embrace the technology free time and enjoy the countryside :-)
