Perfect if you have a dog as lots of walks just behind the camp site including two big fields and a wood, where you can get lost for hours and dog friendly pub,
Close to local town with good facilities including supermarkets and chinese take away, however you don't need to go anywhere as the food in the pub is very good,
We arrived at the pub and was very warmly greeted by Andy, who showed us the rear camping field and suggested where we should pitch the tent. A fairly wise choice, very level ground and at the top of the slightly sloping area.
Our visit there was hampered by the very wet weather we had during our 3 day visit, obviously not Andy or Martins fault, it seemed the wet weather covered the bulk of the country.
We pitched the tent, (just about in time to avoid the downpour) We then went down to the pub to get some lunch (excellent food & fairly priced !) There we met some of the locals and their dogs, also very friendly (the locals and the dogs).
I'm a biker (motor bike) and even dressed in my leather waistcoat (adorned with various meeting badges etc) we were still made very welcome by Andy, Martin and ALL the locals. We ended up chatting with the locals about some of the bikes that they had owned over the years.
We arrived on the Monday (2nd July 2012), it was suggested by one of the locals that on the Tuesday we should visit the 'Bentley Motor Museum' and its wildfowl park, a splendid day out, definitely worth a visit (albeit the rain).
It was also suggested that we visit 'Herstmonceux Castle', the grounds and associated observatory, are also a fantastic day out. We were lucky enough to be able to have a guided tour of the castle and was informed of it's history (by a very friendly, informative and jovial guide) The guided tour, in our case, started at 1:00pm. The observatory is also well worth the visit.
We had our meals in the pub on the Tuesday and Wednesday. All of our our meals were absolutely delicious, served fairly quickly (not fast food as in McDonalds!) and very well priced.
The toilet/shower facilities are exceptionally clean and well maintained and are only about 50 yards (max) in any direction back to your pitch (quite handy considering the rainy weather)
We did not use any local shops or the like, as in our case, there was no need.
I do not drink 'real ale' I'm a lager and brandy man, and they stock a superb German lager, well worth a try !.
We are retired now so that leaves us more time to visit various parts of the country, but we definitely will be back to the 'Runt in Tun' site.
We have no young children now so I cannot comment on that aspect of the site.
I've given the whole site facility 10/10, it deserves it !
A lovely site, only 5 pitches in plenty of space, owners are extremely friendly and helpful and the pub food was great.
At £16 a night for 4 of us excellent value too
Shower and toilet fine, shower takes 20p and meter is outside the shower so best to buddy up and put money in for each other.
Only downside no ball games or cycling allowed play area in pub too 'young' for my children, although there is a field nearby, for this reason wouldn't go back as they normally love cycling around the camp site. My daughter was also asked, very nicely, not to climb the trees. It seemed more suitable for younger children/no children
Management response: To all readers, please note, that as of September 2013 the site is adult only.
Stayed for 2 nights on this charming little site at the rear of the pub. Wonderful location for walking/cycling The Cuckoo Trail, less than 300yds away. Excellent quality, reasonably priced food prepared by amiable hosts Martin and Andy, who run this lovely country pub. Friendly locals, well kept local real ales make this place a little gem of a site.
We will be back for sure. (but shush don't tell everyone).
Portable loo type toilet and showers, (plumbed in) are adequate and kept scrupulously clean.
A typical English village pub where friendliness, conversation, characters, good real ales, quality fayre and dogs all happily co-exist, and you don't get ripped off in the process. Keep it up. Recommended.
We stayed here last night for our first pitching of our new trailer tent - we had the opportunity to have a 'test' without kids, so wanted somewhere close to home that had food available.
The Runt in tun was perfect. We had a spacious flat pitch and there were only 2 other campervans sharing the campsite. The loo was nicer than I was expecting from previous reviews - when I heard portaloo, I was thinking of Glastonbury style pump action toilets, but there was flushing water, sink etc.
We didn't try the shower but there was one available.
We were warmly welcomed by the landlord who squeezed us in for dinner, although they had a function on. This turned out to be a bargain at £14. 95 for three courses and was really tasty.
At £10 for the night, we would definitely return and bring the children, I'm sure they would love the play area behind the pub.
Just 15 minutes from Ashford and 25 minutes from fabulous beaches, you'll be ideally placed for exploring the Garden of England. The park is divided into a family area, that is close to the play parks, the sports field and the games room, and a peaceful adult-only area in The Meadows, that is ideal for couples. A range of grass and hardstanding pitches, fully serviced or non electric, catering for all sized of tents and caravans.
On both areas you will enjoy five-star, centrally-heated showers, and private cubicles with toilet, hand basin, dryers etc. Laundry and campers kitchens, a large childrens playground, sports field, games room and television lounge. The park has CCTV and WiFi is available for a small fee. A dog walking area is provided on site. Find out more here
Just returned from 3 days at this lovely little site, would have stayed longer but the owners were having a break. We had a warm welcome from the owners who could not have been more helpful, we could choose where we pitched, which way we pitched etc and we had loads of room, we used our own facilities but the campers on site all said the shower was good for 20p. We were there specifically to cycle the Cuckoo trail which is across the road and down a path, we cycled to eastbourne about 15 miles although the last 3 miles are all on the road side with some busy main roads and roundabouts to negotiate which would be a bit daunting if you have small kids.
The site itself feels like you are in an orchard as there were fruit trees at one end and chickens too. Lots of fields around and the main raod is fairly quiet. All in all a lovely stay and we would definitely return.
Lovely site, at the back of the Runt in Tun pub. Very well kept by friendly publican and staff. Made us very welcome. Pub serves good reasnably price fayre, the locals are also very friendly, was a pleasure meeting Ruby a very well behaved rottweiller. The site entrance is on a slope but the pitches all looked level. Toilet and shower clean and acceptable, all in all a very acceptable experience albeit a short one night stay but we will go back and soon. Recently played golf at both Horam (1 mile) and Wellshurst (3 miles) both good value for a 22 handicapper like me.
Stayed for a week with a group of 4 caravans. This is an excellent little site with basic but clean facilities. We had a very warm welcome from Andy and Martin and would recommend both the site and the pub. The food, beer and atmosphere in the bar/restaurant made our stay particularly enjoyable. Only one tiny gripe which related to the time/cost for using the shower, although we believe this may be altered. All in all, if we visit the area again, we won't hesitate to use this site.
My wife and I stayed on this site for a weekend in mid August and it was lovely.
On arrival, Andy showed us to our pitch which was level on well cut grass.
There were five caravans and one other tent spread out on large pitches.
The site is small and cosy, but you have plenty of space between you and your neighbours.
The pub was a very friendly and a real locals pub.
We had a meal on the first night which consisted of Steak pie for me and wifey had a really nice Haddock and cheese dish which was also very nice.
The food was very good and well presented.
On the second night (Sat) we decided to mix with the locals in the bar. We had a great night. Very friendly bunch. They sell an ale called 1648 and its one of the nicest pints I have ever had.
Great site, super food and beer and the hosts Andy and Martin were top notch.
Stayed here recently for 2 nights and would echo all previous positive comments. Excellent for dog walking at rear of site or on nearby Cuckoo Trail, which is great for walkers and cyclists stretching from Heathfield to Polegate. Single unisex toilet and shower are cleaned regularly, twice daily when we stayed.
The pub which is dog friendly serves excellent meals and bar, snacks at very reasonably prices. Two real ales from Sussex breweries were on and in excellent condition. The pub is very traditional and locals are very friendly.
Martin and Andy have put a great deal of thought and hard work into creating this C&CC certificated site and it has paid off. Maybe a small canopy over the campers washing up sink would not go amiss for wet weather. Chemical Disposal point is one of the best I have used
My only concern is that they might get too busy that we may not be able to get booked in next time we want to visit!
All in all an excellent little site. Recommended.
