Disappointing

New Barns Farm
This CL has been, and could be again, lovely. However, it is now very run down and it is clear that the charming but elderly owner is unable to cope. The approach shrubbery needs to be cutt back. The CL has very bumpy ground, very long grass - clearly not cut for many weeks, no cleaning of loos, no toilet paper, shower filthy (with broken tray), water taps hidden by grass/foliage, no tap at chem waste point, etc. The CL appears to be being run remotely by the owner's daughter 40 miles away in Brighton. I have contacted the Club team to ask if they can offer help or advice but they have not answered. It would be a pity if such a pretty CL were to close - and I am sorry to leave a negative review. Nonetheless it must be said that this CL - which still charges the same fees as many others in far better condition - is very disappointing.

Blissfully peaceful

New Barns Farm
This must be the most peaceful site we've stayed at. Waking up in the morning and going to bed at night, the sound of birdsong was beautiful. We will definitely return for another chance to tour the delights of Kent. The site provides for the basic needs of a caravanner, without all the bells and whistles that alternatives may have to offer. Exactly what we needed, but possibly not for those with small children expecting playground facilities. The pitches are flat and easy to get into with services for water, electricity and grey water disposal at hand. Access from the major roads was no problem and the owners were a delight to talk to and provided us with lots of useful information about the area. It's an excellent situation for reaching the south coast beaches, Canterbury and the houses and countryside of central Kent. What more can you ask for from a CL.

Another lovely peaceful break

New Barns Farm
We have just had 5 days at this lovely peaceful cl site. The area is very rural despite being easily accessible to many areas of interest. Electrical hook up and water available, with the extra advantage of a wash block. The owners, and their dogs, are delightful and very welcoming and happy to share information of pubs, shops and places to visit. I’m sure we shall be visiting again, to go to the places we haven’t been able to get to yet.

New Barns Farm
We have spent another great weekend and can highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet well kept site with plenty of walks . Our hosts made us very welcome as usual and we had a great weekend for family and a bbq. An added amenity of a toilet and shower are most welcome. We have been going here for 2 years and are never disappointed.

Run down but peaceful

New Barns Farm

Arrived to find that the field was empty, so had the pick of pitches. Electric and water available. However, the grass had not been cut for ages. The toilets and showers were not clean, although worked fine. The chemical disposal point was totally full and blocked and did not smell good. The owners dogs were able to roam on the field, which was fine, it is their home. However, the dogs messed in the field and this was not cleared up. Disappointed overall, especially as the site had received 5 star reviews overall on the clubs review page.

Comment from the Club:

Many thanks for your review. The CL owner has been in touch as he was very sorry to read that you did not enjoy the site. He was actually unwell towards the end of last year however the site is now being maintained to the normal high standards.
