Reviewer: Helenterrapin  (4)   Date of Visit: April 2010  Unit:  Tent

We booked for 9 nights (post-Easter week)- 2 adults in a tent. Only stayed for 5 night in the end because of poor weather.

Nice site in a good location for access to local area. Some noise noticeable from the dual carriageway, but it wasn’t intrusive. Several supermarkets locally. Helpful staff live on the adults only section.

The site is in two parts. There is an adults only section, but this did not appear to have any toilet/shower/washing up facilities- so not really suitable for tents because of this. The reception/shop/information cabin was located here. The other part of the site is located across a farm lane. There is a code operated gate to access this section. We stayed on this part, which was level with circular access roadway around. On one side of this were static caravans. There are hedges splitting the field up into largish sections. The touring pitches were around the edge of each section, which leaves plenty of grass in front. There were hard standing pitches around the central roadway.

Most pitches appeared to have access to EHU although not all. Water taps, grey water disposal and bins were located in several place on the central roadway.

Clean and heated washrooms, washing up area with fridge, freezer and microwave and a laundry. It was very quiet when we stayed, so I don’t know how these would cope when the site is full. There was a field available for ball games etc behind the amenities block and a children’s play area and games room.

When we arrived the ground was very wet and they were not allowing vehicles to drive onto the grass pitches. It was very quiet with only a few pitches occupied midweek, but a few more arrived at the weekend. Quite a few seasonal caravans, but nobody using them when we were there.

Had a great week at this campsite.Facilities are first class.Showers and toilets are plentiful and always had hot water for showers.The campers kitchen was great due to it being hot you can put food in a carrier bag in the fridge also use of the microwave.Tesco supermarket 5 minutes drive or 30 minute walk.

The pitches are spacious and the staff helpful with ideas for days out. Will definitely recommend the site to others.Great site if you are wanting a stop over on the way to France as 20 minutes drive from the channel tunnel and 30 minutes to Dover.

This site ticks a lot of boxes.

The staff are very efficient, the site is very clean and tidy, the facilities are excellent (including the very clean shower block, campers kitchen, kids play areas and games room) and it is a very quiet spot.

Having said all of the positives I have a few negatives that, even though the site was great, might make me think twice about returning in a hurry.

1. The staff are a little too eager to maintain the rules. You frequently see them riding round and you feel like you are being closely watched at times.

2. The tent pitches are just a bit too small for me. Our tent is not big, but it was a fairly tight squeeze with vehicle and those pitches opposite were just a bit too close for comfort.

3. The site is perhaps just a tad too quiet. The 'return to tent' by 10pm and 'no noise at all' after 11pm means that after 10pm when we were there you felt that even unzipping the door was going to wake everyone up.

I understand that different people look for different things in a site, but I personally would appreciate a bit more of a chilled out approach from the staff and a bit more space.

Reviewer: Sjharwood  (3)   Date of Visit: May 2010  Unit:  Trailer Tent

Back for a 2nd visit along with 6 other families. 2 nights in assorted tents and trailer tents.

From the moment I picked up the 'phone to start the booking process to the moment the last people checked out we received 1st class service (and always with a smile!).

This site simply gets it right! A fantastic balance between good value, good facilities, good pitch sizes, sensible site rules, cleanliness and access to other amenities.

Weather was not clever at all, but with a substantial indoor play centre (Imagine) only 5 minutes drive away we were able to keep 14 children occupied for a few hours - in fact a few of the mums even managed to get to the large Designer Outlet Mall that is also only about 5 mins away!

When back at the site, in between the showers, the children and adults alike made good use of the ball games area, the playground and the games room.

As for the shower block. Excellent! Underfloor heating, and I've never had to turn the temperature down before because the hot water was so warm.

We will be back. Highly recommend.

The site is delightful. Clean and well kept with electric hook up and a large selection of facilities. The staff were helpful and friendly. Another gem of a site to find in February!

Reviewer: D S B  (14)   Date of Visit: October 2009  Unit:  Touring Caravan

Visited this site many years ago so decided it was time to revisit it. The site is divided into two and the new part, near reception is spaciously laid out. The older part, across the road seems far more cramped and the pitches varied somewhat in size, and the circular access road was a little on the narrow side. The staff on the site were extremely friendly and helpful and the site was really well looked after.

Unfortunately, a mix up with our booking meant that we received an apologetic phone call 4 days before the start of our break saying they were no longer able to offer us a full serviced pitch - a EHU hardstanding was offered instead, which we accepted. On our pitch, the car had to be parked on the tarmaced area which was like a widened part of the road at the head of our pitch. This meant that our pitch was very close to the one next door. After putting up the (large porch) awning, there was little more than 1 metre between the awning door and the back of the caravan next door, making it probably the smallest pitch we have ever used, with no grassed area in between. I think it would be in order for the site to revisit the siting/size of some pitches in the older part of the site.

Other than the particular pitch we were given, the comments of other reviews I agree with. The site is centrally positioned for visiting many areas of Kent and is fairly close (10 min car ride) to the Tesco supermarket. The site provides information about local pubs etc and the recommended fish and chip shop is certainly 5-star.

The site didn't really 'do it for us', but I can appreciate that those who were better sited would be really happy.
