Still our favourite

Forge Meadow Caravan Site
We have been visiting Forge Meadow since 2013 and loved it from the very start. We reviewed this beautiful site after our first visit and haven’t changed our opinion at all, it is still one of our favourites. We have just returned from another relaxing 4 night break. Mel and Paul are wonderful hosts and welcome everyone with a smile, they are always kind and helpful should you have a problem. They keep the site beautifully maintained and this year they have added water points to each pitch. There are now also small flower beds between each of the spacious pitches which is a lovely touch. Being an adult only, it is always peaceful, just the sound of sheep, birds and sometimes the guinea fowl. You can sit watching the buzzards circling above the trees and may also spot other wildlife from the comfort of your lounger. Each pitch has its own folder which contains lots of useful information for your stay. The whole area is beautiful having many walks straight from the site. It’s just a short drive to Rye or Tenterden where there are plenty of fascinating shops and places to eat. There are also many places of interest to visit without having to drive too far. Over the years we have been visiting we have met some lovely people who have become good friends. I’m sure if you book a stay at Forge Meadow you will find yourself returning time and time again, just like we do.

Perfect stay

Forge Meadow Caravan Site
Just returned home on 31.7.2020 from five nights at Forge Meadow Caravan Site - and wish we could have stayed a little longer. The site itself is small (just five pitches), in totally rural surroundings - and in a beautiful part of Kent. Lovely Rye and Tenterden are equidistant and the Camber Sands Beach easily reached in 20 mins drive (best in the late afternoon/evening at this time of year). We found a really super farm shop about 10 mins drive away (Gibbet Oak Farm, TN30 7DH). Highly recommend this site if you want an adult-only get away, with your partner and dog.

Fantastic CL

Forge Meadow Caravan Site
This Adult only CL is smashing, one of the best we have visited, long field with plenty of space between units, quiet and peaceful, overlooks field and trees, grass is cut and collected, very helpful information shed, OS walking maps to use, a bonus, there are lots of footpaths from site if you enjoy walking, the bus stop and village shop are a 15 minute walk away, buses go to Rye and Tenderden they go every 2 hours. We were there for 4 nights in May wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back when we are visiting this part of the country again, thanks for a wonderful stay Bub and Mos

All good

Forge Meadow Caravan Site
Its always a good sign when a site has as many reviews as this one. There were too many to read but I agreed with all those that I did read. I'll only add some detail that wasn't included in all of them. The local pub in Wittersham has closed but there is a movement to reopen it. There is a well stocked open all hours village shop in easy walking distance and a good bus service north to Tenterden and south to Rye and both are well worth a visit. Tenterden has a Tesco and Waitrose. Smallhythe NT property is less than an hour's walk through fields from the site. Lamb House NT in Rye also worth a visit. Bodium Castle NT is a short drive away. We didn't use the Bodium to Tenterden steam RW but it looked good. Appledore is an attractive local village. There is plenty of opportunity to explore by bike on quiet roads and off-road. The owners provide each pitch with a folder containing all the information you need and check you in on the evening of arrival. There is nothing to fault and its so peaceful.
