A gem of a site!
Rakes Corner
What a lovely peaceful site in a busy area of Surrey, not far off the A3 and fast access to London, Portsmouth or anywhere in between. Beautiful local countryside, with so many wooded and heathland areas to walk, you're spoilt for choice. The site itself is flat and levelling is dead easy, pitches are spacious with mown grass plus compacted gravel driveways and parking strips. Penny & Jeff are a delightful couple, extremely helpful and welcoming without being at all intrusive. On this site you aren't handed an A4 sheet of rules but all whom we met there treated the location with great respect. Dogs are welcome and there are some good dog walks nearby. Will definitely return.

Being Countryside dwellers from Cornwall we loved this site. A gem amidst populated areas of Godalming, Guildford and to the coast.

Easy access, Good welcome from the owner who explained about the electric metering. First £1.50 is included in daily fee, any excess units are charged for on leaving. An excellent idea in our opinion. In our experience lately many sites are just adding on as much as £5 a day for the power crisis which if you've got a small or medium sized van there is no way you would accumulate that many units of electricity. We stayed 3 nights and didn't have to pay any extra.
The main Portsmouth to Waterloo line is 2 minutes walk away, excellent. You can't hear the trains from the site and they don't run all night anyway.
Medium amount of traffic on roads outside the site but there are pedestrian walkways so very safe. Lovely little walk into village of Milford, grocery, butchers,wine shop!! Barbers, fish n chips. Everything you could possibly need and loads of lanes and walks and footpaths everywhere. We loved it and wouldn't hesitate to return.
Only 5 pitches in a lovely field with grazing sheep other side of the fence, all south facing so looking forward to returning in the summer.
Bring baby wipes though as no loos or showers, you need your own facilities.
Excellent site

What a great little site, lovely views over the fields and they have sheep which I love. So peaceful. We stayed for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Close to lots of places of interest by walking or car. The owners are really nice and very helpful. Can't wait to go again. Lorraine and Mal.
