A site of two halves!

The Stables
We arrived on a Monday just after the school holidays in Sept. The access through Alfriston is tight so be prepared if you have a big unit, we have a small caravan and still got stuck causing opposing traffic to reverse. The access road is shale and lumpy so takes a while and the locked gates are not the best. Found a spot after waiting for some others to move out, there's no arrival / departure times enforced so be prepared to find a full site if you get here early. Facilities all great and easy to find. From Mon to Fri the site is an absolute delight, fantastic walking nearby, very peaceful, owls hooting at night. We would have marked it as one of our favourite sites but then Friday PM came and the hoards of campers arrived to the adjacent camping site. The access road was constantly in flux with vehicles and people all having a good look at the CL as they passed! The campsite encourages fires and so be prepared for a curtain of smoke and BBQ to cover the site at 7pm. The noise is just people enjoying themselves but then the the folk singers started...it did all quiet down by 10pm though. So Mon+Fri it's a 5 star site, Fri-Sun it's a 3 star site. We would definitely come again but avoid peak season and the weekend.

Peaceful location in a beautiful village

The Stables
Had one night here before catching the ferry from Newhaven. Easy to find just take final access slowly as it’s a bit bumpy. We were given the code to unlock the padlock to the site but it was rather fiddly. Owner very friendly on the phone but we didn’t see her to pay until just before we left when we had a nice chat. She has lots of info on the area if you ask her. The field is an old orchard and you can pitch anywhere. Nice and open for sun. We weren’t troubled by the campsite next door. The village is beautiful and you can also walk directly onto the downs. We will definitely use it again for the ferry but will have 2 or 3 night to see the are first. Worth more than one nights stay.

Nice CL. Note pricing is £20 pn not £14

The Stables

Nice CL. Good location and the CL itself is pretty, well done, and well kept. Note that the price is actually £20 pn not £14. When we were there the campsite next door (which is separately owned) wasn't bad at all: some noise but it didn't go on late. But we weren't there at height of season. I can imagine - it would be more intrusive at the height of school holiday season. Easy walk into Alfriston, and I'd recommend The George as a nice hostelry. Personally I think it is a touch over priced compared to some others of similar ilk, but I suspect it carries a bit of a premium as a convenient stopover for those going to the Newhaven ferry.

A lovely CL!

The Stables
This CL was typical of what we love about them: Friendly owner, easy pitching (levelling blocks needed), great location for walking the beautiful Downs and surrounding villages, and fairly peaceful (bit of traffic & dog noise from the neighbouring site but didn't disturb us too much...). Clean facilities, plenty of space and overall, had everything we needed. Alfriston is a delightful village and there are many other lovely places to explore on foot. We chose not to use our bikes because the roads around are a bit busy for us. Overall, a great stay.

Great Location

The Stables
Spacious CL where you can choose where to pitch and with a friendly and relaxed welcome. We stayed late august just before bank holiday and CL was full but quiet (neighbouring campsite also very quiet). Great location for walking, cycling and with easy access to Alfriston.
