Too expensive
Pros...
Nice pub a couple of hundred yards away. Not cheap, but the ale is amazing... Owner makes a good profit on the pub, so pub really shouldn't push the pitch price up to £13 with just electricity.
Great for a central base to walk East Sussex.
Lovely walk possible from site to Barcombe Mills and Anchor Pub.
Never tranquil next to the Lavender Line station (woken one morning by a railwayman rendition of "Oh Carolina")... joy....
But then nothing can ever be perfect...
Cons...
Told that I must take pitch 3 despite other pitches being empty (and later occupied for 2 day stretches despite me being there over a week)...
Wouldn't be an issue, but 3 is overshadowed by the mother of trees that both concerned me a little with its two foot thick boughs high above my little van, and subsequently occasioned a three hour clean of my van on return... Brown stains being sadly permanent...
Pitches too small... the end pitch was sadly occupied later the next day by a very long caravan that pitched far too close, meaning intimacy with the owner's of the caravan that then parked in between... And I never take much space in my meaningless Edina caravan.
Also various works in the field next door did little to heighten the only moderate tranquillity... I was warned of a festival that was coming, but didn't end up staying for that.
So I conclude...
1) Overpriced... an expensive area, but £13 for just electricity???? East Sussex is pricey as goes cl's, but £13????
2) Pitches can be tight.
3) Far from tranquil, far from prettiest.
4) Great for a central walking holiday, but not really close to anything else in particular.
5) Great if you are a steam fan or treal ale buff (I am both)...
Not bad, but not worthy of a return at that price for me... Might be heaven for others
