 We liked the site for location from the M20 and also easy journey to Sevenoaks where we were helping family move in.
Once the A25 road closure is finished it will be easier.
The owners are friendly and very helpful.
Large pitches and excellent facilities during these difficult covid times.

Very nice little site with basic and very clean facilities.
Good Covid precautions in place.
Nice little play area for the children.
The main road nearby can be a bit noisy from early in the morning, but you probably wouldn't notice it in a caravan.

Well organised. Clean. Shame that there was not the facility to have a fire to keep warm, but understand as the site has not got the space and has restrictions on the land.
We loved the bacon and sausage rolls that were sold on the Sunday and Monday in aid of air ambulance.
Could have had a bit more stock in the shop, however it is close to large stores.

Just spent 3 very pleasant nights at Gate House Wood.
Karen and Dave could not have been more helpful from the minute I booked to the time we went home.
The facilities where clean and well looked after.
The pitch was nice and flat. Just a pleasant site to stay on.
We are looking forward to going back again.

Karen and Dave were most welcoming and very friendly. The site is nicely laid out and a good size - not too big, not too small.
Convenient location close to several major routes.
We will definitely use again.

Nice small, well kept, secluded site that is quiet and well located to visit Kent.
Clean facilities and warm showers. Covid-19 measures in place that work well.
Very good Chinese restaurant within 5-10 minutes walk.

We picked this site as we were visiting family in the area. We found the facilities to be very clean and the owners had organised well according to covid restrictions.
The site has a quiet rule between 10pm and 7am and we were relieved to find that this was indeed the case. We could hear traffic but it was far enough away not to disturb our sleep.
The kids enjoyed the swings!

Another great week at Gate House really lovely site clean facilities lovely welcoming staff
Aside from another couples dog being of the lead and leaving us a parcel we had a good week here wardens dealt with dog but dog owners were not very co operative some people spoil it for other dog owners. The wardens diplomacy was admirable
Looking forward to next season

This site is very clean and tidy and pleasant to the eye. It is just off the motorway which has it's for and against. The shop is very well stocked.
The pitches were a good size and the walks around and about were lovely. However, we didn't have a good experience at this site as we found it not to be dog nor child-friendly.
Our children were very well behaved and we were all in bed by 8. 30 and off-site for 5 out of the 6 days. The constant reminder of rules left us walking on eggshells even asking the children not to laugh to loud.
The site is surrounded by busy roads and you can hear both the A20 and the M26 as well as being in the Gatwick flight path.
I would not recommend this site if you are a family with young children, a women on your own or friends wanting a laugh. It is ideal for older couples.
There are many extras you have to pay for too. Had I read the reviews I would have known that it would not be suitable. Lesson learnt, do your homework.

This was our second visit to this site and we were not disappointed.
Once again we arrived early at noon and were able to go to our pitch as they were not busy. This was very helpful and we were meeting a friend for lunch.
The staff were very friendly and indicated where everything was. All facilities were very clean. We did not use any of the waste points.
We pitched on the grass which was firm and had no problem when leaving.

This review is mainly for dog owners - if you don't have a dog then the other reviews here describe this nice little caravan park well.
If you do own a dog, we wouldn't recommend this park. Whilst dogs are allowed, it is not particularly dog friendly. You are not allowed to walk your dog on a lead anywhere outside of your pitch unless you are walking offsite. This is not an idle warning, it is enforced by the warden! Late night wees require you to leave the park or somehow cajole your dog to do their magic in your pitch.
There is advertised as a woodland walk adjacent to the park. However to get there, you have to walk 150m down an unlit road that has no path and traffic can travel fast. This wasn't suitable at all for our nervous dog, particularly at night when the road was pitch black. Once you get to the woodland footpath, it's only about 400m long before you hit another main road (the A20) and have to walk back to the site. If you have an energetic dog that needs to be off lead, then the walk isn't going to be enough for them and you need to hop in a car to go somewhere else.
The owners are friendly enough and helpful but we got the feeling they would prefer dogs weren't here, really. Perhaps they've had trouble in the past.
It's a really nice family friendly park so feel confident if that's what you're looking for but if you have one or more dogs, definitely ring up and chat about the facilities before you commit.

The site is in an old quarry and a bit run down just off the A25. The elsan disposal was quite honestly disgusting, dilapidated and filthy.
The waste water disposal was outside the gate and impossible to use, seemed others felt the same and just dumped water in the vicinity. The facilities block was dated but acceptable.
After dark the poor lighting felt a bit worrisome. A few pubs, restaurants nearby, ranging from expensive high quality to Beefeater style.
The staff were very friendly

This is our second time staying at Gate house wood and again we were very happy with our stay. Even though there is a very busy road near by feels very peaceful and calm.
The owners were very welcoming and was happy to help me in the right direction of the nearest supermarket. The site has a small shop which is very useful if your forgotten anything and has great sweets and toys that will keep the kids entertained.
Also there’s a small play area which you can see the kids from anywhere on the site. The toilet and showing block are very clean and the chemical toilet disposal point, has a hose pipe to help with cleaning your waste and had hand wash near by to wash hands after which was a lovely touch !
The pitch sizes are great to, will definitely be returning there in the future. Thank you Gate house wood for another great weekend.

We have stayed on this site several times before both as a couple and as a family and have always enjoyed our time here.
We find everyone here friendly and polite. The facilities are always very clean and tidy, no matter what time of day. It is not too noisy and not so big that you are wondering where your children have wandered off to. Both my children loved the play area.
On this occasion we required medical help and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They really went that extra mile to help us. Thoroughly recommend this site.
