Magical Woodland Stay
Stayed on this lovely gem of a site for 5 nights, will certainly be returning and would highly recommend.
Beautiful location in Kent, on the outskirts of the village of Smarden near Ashford.
A warm and friendly welcome from lovely hosts Angela & Russell. On arrival we were provided with a super helpful map of the local area which we made use of. Enjoyed a great little walk into the village along the lane.
The woodland provides spacious grass pitches, which you can choose where to pitch up. On this occasion we were guided to the driest area in view of the recent continuous rainfall. Lucky for us we had the woodland to ourselves for our entire stay. All the usual basics you expect from a CL, very well maintained. Security of gate to woodland. Well mown grass, pretty bluebells and some areas amongst the trees left wild which is great to see and gave the woodland a magical feel. Peaceful site despite the location being on the corner of 2 quiet lanes. The loudest sounds we experienced was waking up to beautiful bird song!
Easy access from the M20, excellent directions provided from Angela were spot on.
Perfect location for exploring Castles, Cathedrals, Coast, Vineyards and some TV locations.
Thoroughly enjoyed trips to Battle Abbey & Rye approx 45mins away.
Dover Castle very interesting, especially the secret war tunnels which are well worth a visit.
Lots of fabulous vineyards nearby and can highly recommend Biddenden Vineyard & Woodchurch Vineyard.
Lovely day out to Canterbury (approx 35mins) visited the impressive cathedral and walk along the river before heading to Whitstable. A lovely traditional fisherman town with a cute harbour, full of charm & delicious seafood. Thank you for a fabulous stay!
