Why stay here ...

CL of the Year Award 2010 - Regional Winner

Our site is perfect Winter & Summer & we look forward to welcoming you.

Our CL is a quiet secluded adults only 2.5 acre lawned field, with electric hook-up facilities. Set in the heart of the Sussex countryside with views across to the South Downs and adjoining Sussex Weald. Opened in 1981, the CL has been landscaped with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs, overlooking a wild flower meadow. The site has won 3 awards being placed 2nd in the 'CL of the Year Award' in 1991 and winners of the 'Regional Award' in 2003 and 2010. 

For members who enjoy winter caravanning hard standing areas are available overlooking the CL field. The site is excellent for walking and the nearby picturesque village of Cuckfield which offer shops, pubs and restaurants can be reached by an enjoyable walk across fields. The South Downs, Ditchling Beacon, Jack and Jill Windmills and Ashdown Forest are all within easy reach from the site.

Beautiful gardens and National Trust properties including Nymans, Wakehurst Place, Sheffield Park gardens and Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens are all nearby. Also of great interest is the famous Bluebell Railway, where daily trips of nostalgia can be enjoyed. 

Strictly 1 dog only by prior arrangement with the owner. We charge £3.00 per night for a dog which is then donated to Sussex Air Ambulance.

Beautiful site , very well spaced out and well maintained. Such a friendly welcome from Anne and Robin. It was the first stay here for us and it definitely will not be the last. Close to two beautiful garden estates of Wakehurst and Leonardslee within 15 minutes drive. The local “Chippy” was ok too , peaceful stay even the aeroplanes were not intrusive, plenty of birds flying around. Ok it’s not the cheapest CL site about , but with everything going for it otherwise, to us it was worth it for our 6 night stay.

Perfect

I’ve been to sites all over the UK and Europe since the early 70’s. This is by far the most tranquil, beautiful site we’ve stayed at. Second time we’ve stayed here and this will be our local go to. Huge time and effort must have been put into the planting of a wide variety of trees, shrubs and in spring the array of flowers is up there with the best of the National Trust gardens. If you can’t follow the clear directions, negotiate a short single track lane nor use your own van’s facilities, maybe try a commercial site. If you want a friendly welcome, beautiful, relaxing pitches with plenty of good walks for you and your dog from the site, you’re missing something very special if you don’t try it. Well worth the money by a country mile. Thank you!

Wonderful

We have spent a week here and it’s a great place. One of the best CL’s with lots of space between caravans. A tranquil site and such friendly owners, we will be back next year. I am no expert but with the exception of one day we have been visited by a Red Kite I believe. Thanks Anne for your hospitality.

A few days spent in the West Sussex Countryside

Birch Trees Farm
We have been coming to stay at this perfect CL for a number of years now. At all times of the year, be it Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, and in all weathers. The beauty of this CL is the flexibility of the type of pitch available throughout the twelve months, the lovingly tended gardens, and the owners themselves. We recently stayed here in mid-March 2022 not long after Storm Franklin "breezed" through. The gardens showed no sign of any damage, Robin had taken care of that, but we were told that the grassed areas were too soft and we would be on a hardstanding. No problem. I understand that mid-March could still be too soft for caravans and cars. The grassed areas are by no means "bowling green" turf but they are more or less pretty level, nice and green and show no signs or rutting or mis-management. 2.5 acres for a CL for 5 units? You can almost hide yourself away in a corner if you so wished. You can position your unit at any angle on the grass the pitches are that generous in size, so different from the Clubs Sites. Anne and Robin have had their CL open for over 40 years. they know how to properly run a CL. Its an extension of their private garden. I`ve not given the "game away" about this CL. They have Club Members who have been visiting for many, many years. Its a beautiful CL.

Lovely site, well set out and well kept. Felt safe as all the precautions for Covid 19 were in place and used by everyone.
