What a lovely site! And such nice wardens too. We were incredibly lucky and had one of the 'central' hardstanding pitches with plenty of grass to the rear and which got as much sun as possible for this time of year. Probably the best pitch we have had in a long time. Some of the pitches under the trees at the 'bottom' end of the site lacked any sun but would probably be fine in the summer. The site is spotless and kept so nice. Wardens are friendly, helpful and full of information - a great welcome and a wave when we passed by during our week's stay. We were visiting family in Hastings, but thoroughly enjoyed our time at the site. Very slightly marred by a rather inconsiderate and noisy group of friends who forgot awnings are not soundproof! Perfect for our dogs - the site owns the attached woods and there is Guestling wood absolutely opposite the entrance and a lovely place for the dogs to run. And 5 minutes drive away is dog friendly Pett Level beach. The site has a dog wash which is great for those of us with mud/sea and salt loving dogs. I'd give them 5 out of 5 paws for dog friendliness. Reception has a good supply of essentials and the vital book exchange and there is an excellent information room. You will gather we loved the site. It's an easy drive into Hastings and don't forget Hastings has it's own fishing fleet and fish is sold in the little beachside shacks straight off the boats (fresh mackeral on the BBQ - oh bliss). We love Hastings for it's vibrancy, quirkiness and laid back vibe (visit the old town for independent shops and as much tea, coffee and cake as you can eat). But we visited Dungeness - Derek Jarman's shingle garden and fish and chips at the Britannia Inn, the beautiful church in Winchelsea and we paddled in the sea at Pett Level. We gave the rather over touristy Rye a miss. The sun largely shone, we ate a lot of cake, fish and chips and ice cream. And we had a wonderful time. Thank you lovely wardens - Fairlight may be our favourite site of the year - or actually of all time. See you next year.
