A lovely, friendly and helpful welcome to be had at this CL near Rochester

Manor Farm
We stayed 3 nights, we had communication a day before and on the day to advise us regarding roadworks and that we'd need to come in via the other end of the village which was invaluable. We received a very warm and informative welcome. The pitch was slightly sloped but Mr Catchpole provided us with advice on which side to pop up and also provided some wood to help us (we are newbies so all advice was well received as this was our first experience of levelling anything other than up and down at the front). All that was needed was one block and we were sorted just as Mr Catchpole said we would be. Loads of space on the site and the waste /water etc facilities were great. There's a rail line and station just nearby the site, super handy if you want to catch the train, it doesn't disturb at all though and was nice to hear the occasional train and whistle of the guard. No other noise at all that we heard, no road noise etc. Nice walk from the site through to the village, great for the mornings once round the block with the dog and facilities for disposing of dog waste on that walk just outside the site. Super happy as well that there were recycling facilities as we do love to recycle. We visited Rochester-beautiful and the multi storey on the left as you gi over the bridge was very reasonable, Chatham (briefly as we didn't have enough time for a full visit especially with a dog with us), Upnor to see the castle, Aylesford (one of the top 10 prettiest villages in Kent! go the the Little Gem pub for local brew and a very warm welcome - dog friendly), Cobtree country park was nice for a short walk within Aylesford, Faversham - a little further but really special and managed to do some of the North Downs way - We parked for free at Holly Hill open space (for free and just beyond Snodland) where you can see the city inc the Shard, Canary wharf the QE II bridge in the distance) and mapped a 4 mile walk from there. Happy days thanks to this lovely CL and its owners.

Lovely CL site with fabulous access to the Medway towns, and ideally situated for Rochester via short train ride to Strood and pleasant walk over Rochester bridge (a must) and Chatham historic docklands. Very helpful and easy going hosts with local advice and tips, including the Five Bells pub only a short walk from the site. Rochester cathedral is worth the trip alone. If you’re looking to visit here, would highly recommend

Wonderful CL

Manor Farm
We have just stayed at Manor Farm and it is one of the most relaxing CL'S we have stayed on. The site is well placed for the River Medway which is a lovely walk alongside the river and the Cathedrall and Castle at nearby Rochester are excellent places to visit all within easy distance of the site. The newsagents is within very easy walking distance, about a two minute walk each way. The main supermarkets and shops are about 5-10mins away and there are National Trust and other places of interest within close proximity. The site owners are very friendly and welcomed us as we arrived and guided us to our pitch, they simply said "take any vacant pitch that you want" which immediately makes you feel welcome. The pitches are very spacious and the grass on the CL is regularly cut, the site faces the right way for the catching the sun, which again helps you relax very quickly. The electric and water are also easily accessible and the chickens and other poultry provide eggs for a hearty tasty breakfast. We would definitly recommend the site and we will be visiting again when we are next in the area, if they are not full. It is a really lovely site. ONE OF THE BEST !!

Good location for exploring Kent

Manor Farm
Small, peaceful site in Halling. Easy to find, though as they say in their email, satnav takes you to the wrong gate, so follow directions on this page. The site is basic (no toilets/showers) but very pleasant. Mostly a sloping field but there is one hardstanding at the bottom. We used it as a base to visit my brother who lives in Halling, so it was perfect for us. Had several days out: Chatham Historic Docks (about 15 mins away), Canterbury (about 40 mins away) and Leeds Castle (about 20 mins away). All fantastic days out and all wheelchair accessible and all with good motorhome parking. The site owners are friendly and helpful. They were happy for my brother and his partner to come on site and eat/spend time with us. Dogs are welcome but must be on lead, as they have various ducks, chickens, etc wandering loose. Having said that, we didn't see them very often. We would stay there again.
