Excellent site

In agreement with other reviews; excellent and well looked after site, facilities clean, plenty of hot water, and perfect position for a walk out to the local pub where we had a great meal. I only put less stars for "Good for families" as there isn't a play area, but there were young children there and they were quite happy going around the site on their scooters with no worries. Its a bit of a tricky lane to get to and from the site, narrow and because the woods are popular with dog walkers, the road is quite busy so a bit hairy on times, and we only had a campervan. Having said that it wouldn't put us off visiting again. Highly recommend this site visiting Hastings, Rye etc.

Absolutely superb

Everything written in other reviews regarding the immaculate cleanliness, super friendly and helpful wardens, beautiful peaceful woodland surroundings, great Motorhome and caravan facilities, 8 minutes walk to the Two Sawyers pub or Tic Tocory tearoom, place for doggy heaven….we totally echo. Stayed 3 nights, we were blessed with great sunshine. 42 pitches and you were allowed to chose where you wanted to go. Chose pitch 32 which backed onto the woods, equidistant from toilet block and “gate to the pub”, and stayed in the shade vs the blistering heat we had. The cheerful and welcoming warden couple never stopped working - cleaning facilities, cutting grass, tending to new arrivals…very impressed. Pub and tearoom are both highly recommended as served amazing food. Both dog friendly (sitting outside). Totally relaxing getaway …. We will definitely return! Thanks again for all your hard work to keep the site wonderfully clean and welcoming.

Peace and quiet on a chilled out site

Lovely wardens, big pitches, tuck away in the woods. Facilities immaculate! We stayed an extra night. Handy for Rye and Dungeness. Quite tight access and google maps does its best to route you down narrow lanes!

Dog paradise

This was our first motorhome outing with 4 small dogs. Boy, did we hit the jackpot with this site. It’s small and very peaceful with excellent, clean and tidy facilities. It’s not great for families as there is not much to do if you have little ones. If, however, you have dogs, you couldn’t ask for more. The site is surrounded by woodland that is lovely for an early morning walk with the dogs. A short 5 minute walk through this wood you’ll find The Two Sawyers pub. A delightful dog friendly pub with a lovely garden. However, for us and our dogs, the piece de resistance was Guestling Wood. Just across the site entrance over a small lane is an entrance to 110 acres of doggy heaven! The site wardens were fantastic and when we asked if we could stay a further night, they made sure we stayed on the same pitch. It should also be noted that a lot of guests were trying to book extra nights. I think that says it all. Highly recommend!

A peace 😉 of perfection

This club site is an absolute gem which we have now been to several times and will certainly do so in the future. It is extremely peaceful, partly because with little for small people to do on site, it’s not the best site for families and partly because of its location down a small lane away from main roads. There is very little plane noise either. Our visit this time was due to an urgent need to de-stress and, being lucky with the weather, Fairlight exactly hit the spot. It’s small and perfectly formed with very nice wardens. The setting is lovely, surrounded by trees with grass between all pitches and the birdsong is beautiful. Come in bluebell time and you’ll be stunned! The walks are endless and very varied - woods, fields, seashore - with stupendous views from the tops of hills. Plus, with the help of an OS map, they are generally very well signed with stiles and gates in good condition. Be aware if you have a dog that many of the fields are full of sheep. As one reviewer also commented there are some fairly serious hills to climb/pedal up but it’s always worth the effort. We live only an hour away so don’t tend to go out and visit places we already know but Rye and Winchelsea are lovely and Hastings is good fun. We left after 4 nights refreshed and restored (although by the time our van had banged and crunched home over the appalling East Sussex potholes we were somewhat shaken rather than stirred!!)

Perfect Peace....

I honestly don't know why we had never thought to visit this site before. From arriving and throughout, the site managers (sorry, forgotten their names!) couldn't have been more helpful, with advice and guidance on places to go and best routes, and their recommendation for the local butcher saw us with half a freezer full of sausages! The site itself was immaculate but not too show homey, ie natural and relaxing. All pitches were a really good size and no matter where you were, your outlook was the woods. You can walk or ride through the woods direct from the site and we loved the 'Hansel & Gretel' idea of a touch of white paint on certain trees that leads to the local pub, the Two Sawyers, really good food and atmosphere there. I would say the only thing to be aware of, which is nothing to do with the site itself, is that there are some massive hills around if cycling, that Google state as 'moderate' but not too sure in whose language that is! Also, in future I would avoid arriving or leaving on a Sunday as the lane is quite narrow and the woodlands are very popular with people arriving in cars so was a bit hairy trying to make a dash for it when leaving! Would definitely visit here again.

Great Stay , Great Wardens .

We booked 5 night , 8th to 13th august and took the grandchildren with us for the first time for 2 nights not knowing if they would like staying in the caravan . Even though there is no play area there was lots to do in the woods , they loved it . Also crazy golf and the sea life centre in Hastings There is also at fairlight a great country park with a very nice café . The grandchildren loved it so much they asked to stay an extra night luckily I booked 3 nights just in case . I would like to give a big thank you to Cheryl and Dean for being a great help . We had a problem with the TV socket on the post and Dean came over straight away , also Many thanks to you Cheryl for sorting out an extra night stay even though it was after 5 pm . Once again Many Thanks to you both . David & Pauline

Lovely peaceful site

Having just returned from this site, after a 3 night stay we have to say we were impressed and have already booked for May 2024. The site is most suitable for adults having no children’s play area etc. The facilities were good - quite well aged but kept spotlessly clean. Bonus having a pub in walking distance, woods to explore and a bus stop for trips into Hastings. All in all a lovely site we would recommend.

Great site and food

Really warm welcome when booking in, good pitches and showers. Excellent dog walking opposite in the 120 acre woodland trust land. The Two Sawyers pub serves, in my opinion,some of the best pub grub in the area. It’s less than a five minute walk from the bottom of the site. A great place for a long weekend stay which we visit two or three times a year.

First time visit

A very warm welcome from the managers who were very knowledgeable about the area. Immaculate pitches.A110 acres of dog walk opposite the site and a less than 10min walk through the woods to the pub which is under new management and very nice food. Half way through the week the relief managers came in and we’re just as friendly Around the area there is nice places to visit although we thought Hastings looked a bit run down, the seafront was a nice walk and the old town fishing area was interesting. Rye was well worth the visit as was Battle Abbey All in all a very nice and immaculately well kept site. WELL DONE SITE MANAGERS
