Date of Visit: June 2023  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Up10s 7 reviews from this member

 We have a VW Campervan and awning, our footprint is about 7m x 5m. The pitches as Sunnyside are gravel and grass so we parked on the gravel and pitched the awning on the grass. All pitches have EHU and water which is really convenient.

Pitch 1 is the nearest to the welfare facilities, currently one shower with toilet and one toilet in a separate cubicle. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer operated with a secure honesty box payment. Convenient if travelling for long periods. There is also a washing up station and information about events in the area.

The facilities are clean and seemed to be enough for the number of visitors during our stay but work on a second shower unit is currently being completed. A major setback during covid was due to a family of squirrels who took up residence in the welfare block and caused a lot of damage. This has now been rectified.

The pitches are generally divided by low hedges providing an element of privacy. This is a mixed site with mobile homes and caravans. Views were good from the site as it is on top of a ridge.

Next to the site is a field with rhea and a shetland pony. The rhea's call is a boom and I wondered what was going on when I first heard them!

Pete, the owner, was friendly and chatty. We only met him briefly on the first day but he had emailed us our pitch number ahead of our visit and so it was not essential to meet him. I am glad we did though.

The site is a little distance from the nearest village but it is located fairly close to Canterbury and the channel ports.

 Loved the lovely quiet site, beautiful view of surrounding countryside, very peaceful.

We found it easy to access the site with our caravan.

We had electric hook up and a water tap on our pitch.

Nice walk (1 mile) to the station for travel to Canterbury.

Close to Chilham village.

Found a couple of nice pubs in Chilham and Chartham, only a short drive away.

Shower/toilet block undergoing renovation during our visit but the facilities were available for us to use and very clean. Will look great when finished.

Thank you Pete for your friendly welcome, we enjoyed our stay very much.

 Lovely quiet site with good clean facilities. Views from site across country side absolutely lovely, but you can only see them if standing inside caravan.

Host very amenable and each pitch either shingle or grass. We could take our pick and decided on the grassed area. Pitches are a lovely size to spread out if need be.

We couldn’t find a safe dog walk on site, but was able to exercise him on the tent field (it was empty).

Good recycling facilities for rubbish.

All in all would recommend this site as a great Getaway for touring Kent. Very central for coast and country.

 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunnyside Caravan Park, Chilham, it was our first trip away with our daughter, grandaughter & grandog!

We all had a great time in the peaceful countryside,

Our grandaughter loved seeing the pigs and ponies.

The site was very well laid out, we had water at our pitch and the showers, toilets and wash up facilities were spotless.

We would definitely recommend and hope to return soon.

 Just spent 9 days at Sunnyside and found the site to be a delight.

Spacious pitches, clean facilities block and a friendly and helpful owner (Peter).

Site is located within easy reach of Canterbury and all coastal resorts.

We also met Peters Mum who lives close by and had many lovely chats with her.

Caravaners would not be disappointed to stay on this site.

Reviewer: Janbob 1 review from this member

 Set in the heart of the Kent countryside with around 16 very well spaced out pitches with hedges /fence boarders. Ours was hard standing and fully serviced with a huge grass area for our awning. Pete who runs the site for his mother is a lovely jolly person. Communication was excellent via email with his wife Michelle.

The site is a 30 minute walk along a busy road to the lovely village of Chilham and whilst staying we also visited Canterbury Whitstable and Broadstairs, all within a 30 minute drive. There is a park and ride about 10 minutes away by car that can take you to a number of places for £4 including Canterbury.

We didn’t find a pub or shop within a few minutes walk but we weren’t looking for one. There is a Morrisons and Aldi within 15 minutes drive and other stores you’d expect to see on a retail park.

This site offers peace and quiet; birdsong, rabbits in the hedgerows and rolling countryside surroundings. The toilet and shower are very clean. There is a mini fridge and you can also use a washing machine and drier for a small fee. This was our first stay as we are new to Caravanning and we loved the site. No children No noise No ball games. Perfect.

There is some traffic noise from the A252 but this didn’t worry us.

We have nothing to compare this site with as we are new to the lifestyle but the bar is certainly high and we would wholeheartedly recommend Sunny Hill Farm!

Reviewer: Leahsimoneingham 1 review from this member

 We really enjoyed our stay at this small, tranquil and scenic site.

The pitches are huge and the facilities spotless. Washing machine and dryer available too for longer stays.

Dog friendly with nearby walks.

The hosts are welcoming and helpful.

An easy drive to the park and ride to visit Canterbury. A 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to the nearby picturesque Chilham and its choice of dog friendly pubs.

Vegan options available for food at The White Horse.

Will return again.
