Keep your map handy

It seems to be the norm that you need to walk around with your site map. The site has many pitches in dead end locations and it makes it difficult for caravans to turn around. Whilst it is suggested to park up and walk to view a pitch, this can create a traffic queue behind you. The site is peaceful and in a good location for visiting, Rye, Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill on Sea. Pitches all vary in size, some quite small. The facilities were very well managed and clean.

Worth a visit

Firstly, beware of the railiway level crossing if driving to the site from the north on the A2100 (just after the A21 junction - take it slowly because there's a deceptive dip in the road. The road from Battle to the site is also a bit bumpy in places. The site is different to others we've visited as it seems sub-divided into smaller sections/cul-de-sacs - this gives a nice ambience but makes caravan manouvres more tricky on arrival.its worth knowing where you can/want to pitch before towing your caravan to it. The pitches seem a good size and those in our section were reasonably spaced and flat. There are a lot of trees/bushes so dependent on where you pitch, you may be in an open space or one with quite a bit of tree cover. The facilities we used were good and we never had to wait for loos/showers. Wifi coverage is poor though Our pitch was very quiet although this can always be affected by others pitched nearby The wardens were friendly and helpful and worked hard to keep the site and facilities in good shape Rye and Birling Gap are worth a visit. The seafronts at Bexhill and Eastbourne are nice too, Most of Hastings sadly has a run-down feel. There's a nice 1.25 mile walk into Catsfield although not much in the village apart from a decent pub.

Interesting site

Loved the tiered pitches and the number of different types available. Can be awkward to manoeuvre on site as there are some dead ends so top tip is ask which pitches are available and decide where you intend to go. The staff are great and will help! Many interesting trees tall trees with information about some of them attached to the trunk, but some pitches are therefore shaded so again ask the wardens and they will help you select something suitable. It goes without saying that the staff worked tirelessly to keep the site spotless. They worked from quite early in the morning until quit late and I would like to give a special thanks to them

Average site

This was our third stay at this site & probably our last. We first visited in July 2020 not long after the reopening from the COVID closure. We had a lovely pitch & was impressed with the cleanliness & system in place for the use of the shower/toilet block. Our second visit, we arrived slightly late in the day with friends who had a motorhome, therefore options for 2 pitches together were limited & we chose a small gravel section containing 2 pitches. This area was dark with not much sunlight & a nightmare to put pegs in the ground. We were keen to try this site again and arrived at 3pm on The Friday of the August bank holiday. We pulled up at reception - the only outfit queuing/waiting, to be told that they have had to allocate pitches due the number of arrivals booked for that day. We were put in what I can only describe as a gravel car park, at the top of the site surrounded by tall trees & hedges, parallel to the main road. We reluctantly set up. It was dark, depressing & if I didn’t know better I’d say I was amongst the Isle of Man TT racing event. The noise from the road was constant through to the early hours. We were woken early again by the noise of traffic & then on one of the mornings before 9am some kind of machinery was being used, probably a lawn mower. By sunday mid morning after barely any sleep or seeing much daylight we decided to pack up early & head home. I felt really disappointed. Had we been the last people in then I would accept that you take whatever pitch is left but when you arrive in good time & there are plenty of free pitches then I think “the first come, first served” option should be offered. My caravan storage area is far superior to the pitch we were given. On a positive note, the shower blocks were spotlessly clean.

Superior site, beautiful location and warm welcome.

This site only permits people to enter from 1pm for newcomers, no earlier due to their strict routine within the site itself. If you arrive early you are asked to park in the car park or we used a nearby recreational ground, walked Rosie and the boys played. The site itself boosts beautiful grounds with open areas for pitching and some secluded ones. It is home to around 15 tourers who base themselves there for a number of months of the year. There was a mixture of grass and hard standing pitches to choose from and all a good size! WiFi signal was good, really good compared to others and we met some lovely people. There were a number of VW campers but mostly tourers and large motor homes. The site is welcome to families and dogs, it has a well established kids play park and football area (enclosed) for the kids. Perfect addition in my eye! Dogs are catered for with a short walk into the woods, close to the 1066 trail which you can enjoy. Or a longer walk into Catsfield following the wooded trail, there is a pub at the end of the lane, The White Hart Inn. You can enjoy a few drinks before heading back to the site. The toilet and shower blocks are cleaned to an exceptional high standard and it was actually nice to see no limescale or mould. The grounds are immaculate, well groomed and taken care of. It was nice to enjoy the freedom of the facilities with the easing of the lockdown rules but we still made sure we have people space. The wardens were all really friendly and supportive offering advice, hints and tips tips where we asked. You can visit the local historical town Battle - the Abbey (where the Battle of Hastings was won), enjoy the rich historical grounds and learn more about our history and William the Conqueror! It was a lovely walk around, soaking in the history and dog friendly too. We enjoyed a kebab from the local in Battle that evening delivered directly to the site (we met the driver at the gate). There are no negatives to this site, all positives and you can enjoy the surrounding towns and history in the area. We had a great stay and look forward to going back soon.

Good but depends where you are!

Had a lovely time, great location for seeing the area. Nice clean site and friendly staff. Only downside was being situated on the hill as you come into the site. All the children in the site speeding down on bikes etc, very dangerous, at least 3 came off and cars exceeding 5 mile an hour. It was not very nice to watch and we would not come back to this spot again if on the site. A 5mph sign was put up and that was it! There needs to be speed bumps put in to stop kids and cars going straight onto the oncoming cars and pedestrians at the bottom of the hill.

Super Site!

Just stayed here for the first time and spent 3 great nights with friends. The layout is just superb with lots of secluded cul-de-sacs providing plots where you dont have vehicles constantly passing. The staff were all very helpful. The motorhome service point is one of the best.

LOVELY SCENIC SITE

Just spent 3 nights at this site, alas it was very busy so not a great selection of pitches, we ended up on pitch 23 so we knew there would be road noise but this was compensated for by being amongst the trees and shrubs so we enjoyed a variety of birds and wildlife, if you like walking the 1066 walk is just yards from the site, we cycled to Catfield and to Ninfield luckily we have electric bikes because there are some seriously steep hills on the way there and back, had a tasty meal at the White Hart in Catfield, and a very nice carvery at the Kings Arms in Ninfield, overall it was a great few days away and hopefully we will return soon

Great site!

Stayed for two nights. Great site, very clean and tidy. Facilities are first class. Nice walk to local pub in Catsfield which serves good value meals. Battle is only a short bike ride away by road. Would definitely go back again.
