Date of Visit: May 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Daisym 3 reviews from this member

 Lovely site, beautiful peaceful location though quite a way from local shops, so just a case of picking up provisions whilst out exploring the local area. We did t use the toilet and shower blocks but saw evidence of daily cleaning. Some lovely places to visit locally the children really enjoyed a day at camber sands, we visited Hastings but not really somewhere I would want to go again. Staff friendly and helpful we will definitely visit again should we want to holiday in the area again. Thank you Tanner Farm for a relaxing break.

Reviewer: Rutland Belle 23 reviews from this member

 This site is hard to beat. It is very well kept, the facilities are clean and modern and the walks around the farm are excellent. Even the bunnies are friendly! The bluebells in the woods were a joy and we heard our first cuckoo of the year. We visited during the week out of school holiday time and found it very peaceful, but I imagine it could be quite noisy when full of families as there is no adult only section. There was a lot of play equipment and space for ball games provided. You can order a morning paper from the site shop and leaflets giving details of farm walks are available for a small charge. There is also an information room and shelves of second hand books.

Many well known gardens are within easy reach. Leeds Castle is great day out. The entry price is quite high, but your ticket is valid for 12 months.

It was well worth the 4 hour journey and the Dartford Crossing was much easier than we imagined. We intend making a return trip in the Autumn to visit Sissinghourst and Great Dixter. 


Date of Visit: March 2015 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: RoyVaux 45 reviews from this member

 For rural piece and quiet, this site is ideal. It is almost true to say that it is in the middle of nowhere, which suited us very well but for those wanting a nearby pub or shop will be disappointed.

The toilet block facilities are modern, superbly clean and worm. The showers are a good size, with plenty of hooks and shelves etc that are so often lacking.

The reception was efficient and they helpfully take orders for newspapers. Our dog reports that the exercise facilities are the best he has seen in a long time!

The only niggles are the extra charge for WiFi (not coverered by the Caravan Club scheme) and that our pitch was made from small gravel that stuck on our feet and got indoors. 


Date of Visit: February 2015 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Davesharon 27 reviews from this member

 We stayed for one night here, it is very nicely kept and the toilets and showers were very clean and nice hot water. You are in the middle of nowhere so if like us you were only having a one night stop over you need to take your own provisions. The shop was not very stocked but this was due to it being out of season. The lady in the shop/office was very helpful, as we only stayed for the one night we did not wander around the area but would come back if we were in the area again.

Reviewer: Dave and Wendy 35 reviews from this member

 Having just bought a touring caravan we needed somewhere to check it out. We picked this site as it was fairly close and had a very enjoyable long weekend.

The wardens are very helpful and friendly, to get on and off the site you have to go through a sercurity barrier.

The pitches are all spaced out well with plenty of room between each. There are a couple of play areas for the children and a small tv/games room.

The toilet/shower blocks are modern, clean and warm with plenty of free hot water.

Reception has a small shop selling basic items, nearest shops/pubs are a short 2-3mile drive in either direction, and there are also some short walks from the site, directions can be obtained for 20p from reception.

This is a lovely site and would make an ideal base to visit and explore kent.

As this is only about 1hr away from us we will be returning and using this site a lot more in the future, a great little site.

 What a gem of a site! You are right out in the Kentish countryside. Lots of wildlife, adjoining fields to walk on, orchards, space for the kids to play, good toilet and washing facilities. There are some animals - few pigs, pony, sheep. Mature trees and greenery surrounding the site. We were on a hard standing fully serviced pitch. Given it was the last week of the school holidays, I suspect it was fully booked but it didn't feel packed. It was quiet in the evenings and we got to sit out with candles, watching the bats swooping by overhead.

Visited Bedgebury Pinetum which is just a short drive from the site. Includes nice walks, bike paths and bike hire, go ape and big play area.

We loved Tanner Farm Park - and will definitely be back.

Reviewer: Cn150 19 reviews from this member

 Annual May half-term visit to Tanner Farm Park. The south toilet block has been refurbished, which is very nice, with lots of hot water. There is also a refurbished play area near the north toilet block.

This is a really nice site to visit - I highly recommend it if you are considering camping or caravanning in Kent.

The local farm shop in Marden sells lots of nice stuff.

The campsite does sell gas cylinders but they always seem to be short of Camping Gaz 907s whenever I visit (for example I bought their last 907 on this visit).

Reviewer: Sparkle1 8 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site for two cold nights in February! What a lovely site. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The shop area in Reception is only small, but it did seem to stock a few essentials but don't expect too much! You can order a morning newspaper from there too!

We had a hard standing pitch, which was level and generous in size and had EHU and water. All pitches have plenty of space.

The toilet and shower block have been renovated, they were being finished off while we were there and are modern, clean, warm and functional. Very nicely updated! There is a clean laundry room although, we didn't use this facility.

We walked into the village of Marden, which is about 2 and a half to 3 miles away. It wasn't a pleasant walk! The road doesn't have foot paths until you reach the village and the cars do tend to drive very fast along there! But, having said that, the village itself is lovely. They have a couple of small supermarkets, a fish and chip shop, an Indian restaurant and a couple of pubs. The locals are very friendly too!

Although the weather was rather grey and miserable when we visited, the site still looked lovely and well kept and would imagine it would be beautiful in the summer. We would like to visit again and would definitely recommend.

Reviewer: Zedhead36 30 reviews from this member

 This is the second time we have stayed at Tanner Farm. The oast house and surrounding land has been sold off since our first visit, but you are still allowed to walk your dogs in the fields and woods.

The first thing you notice about Tanner farm is that the staff are very friendly, helpful and efficient. The grounds are nicely tended and the amenity blocks are kept in a good, clean condition.

There are security barriers for entry and exit, and a nice new reception block/shop by the entry. The shop didn't seem to have much stock, but as it was close to end of season this may be the reason.

The pitches are nicely spaced, well tended and level. There are swings and a wooden climbing frame for the kids and plenty of space for ball games etc

There is no pub within reasonable walking distance but Marden is a short drive away, with a couple of pubs and restaurants. We can recommend the Marden Tandori for excellent food and service.

Overall this is a very nice site tucked away in the Kentish countryside, with no road, rail or for that matter airplane noise to disturb you. Surrounded by fields and nature. There is very little light pollution for those star watchers.

Would we return again ? Yes. Would we recommend to others ? Yes

Reviewer: 66beanie1 4 reviews from this member

 We have just returned from a 10 day stay at this site. (A 2nd visit-did a weekend in July and loved it so much). The site is spacious, and very clean. The facilities are great. I even did some washing in the machine. Plenty of space for the children to play and not be a nuisance to other campers as the whole site is spread out. A very quiet site because of the layout. The only negative was that the shop was not stocked up regularly enough, but not far from the village shops by car. The staff were friendly and helpful and accommodating when we specified a particular area we wished to pitch on booking. Visitors were allowed on site free of charge, which we took advantage of. We have even converted our grown up daughter to bring the family and come with us next year for a couple of weeks. And she never liked camping, but fell in love with this site, as we did. Will have a few more weekend stays before they close. Highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Funky54 4 reviews from this member

 Our first visit to tanner farm a great attitude from the staff in the reception/shop could not be more helpful, we arrived about 1300hrs and shown on site map where our hard standing pitch was, our daughter and her family arrived later on the pitch next to us.

The site is well laid out no one is over crowded shop is well stocked as during our week we needed a new leisure battery and they had one great.

Toilet block excellent.

we will be back again.

 We actually stayed on this site last year, but this year we went to another site and ended up wishing we gone back to this one. Next year we will! It is a lovely quiet site just outside a pretty village. The facilities are very good and the shop stocks all you need. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a site where you feel confident to let the kids play, and there are no problems with safety at all. A family friendly site.

Reviewer: Palmerfamily 6 reviews from this member

 3rd stay on Tanners, 1st time in a tent, following year borrowed a caravan from family, this year got our wn van and stayed there. Always have a great time there and the kids love the freedom to play they are part of a regular gang that meet up there each year. We go with family and request tat we are sited next to or close to each other and the staff here have always accommodated us with our request. A very safe site to let your children run and play freely, with a playpark and football pitch and lots of their imagination. Toilets and showers are clean and pleasant to use and one block of the 2 there is being refurbished this winter. Large roomy pitches, mainly around the edge of a large field, with separate areas for hard standing and tents without hookup. Most pitches have sun nearly all day. The shop has most things in it and is reasonably priced. There's an information room with a freezer available to use and books to borrow. Lovely walks round the fields and the kids love playing in the river when we go for a walk. Marden is close and Goudhurst for top up shopping but maidstone is where closest supermarket is. We haven't been on days out whilst there as all the kids want to do is go and play!

Reviewer: MadMum1972 11 reviews from this member

 I had another visit as I can't stay away from Tanner! I love it.

This time, I visited in my tent and we stayed in the non ehu area in the tent field.

I was very pleased with my pitch. We were at the edge of the field, in between a couple of trees which offered some shade in the hot sunshine. Any of the pitches would have been great though, they are all beautifully placed.

We enjoyed a nice walk through the fields again and we visited the 'not so baby' lambs! They have sure been eating well since May and have really grown!

Again, the showers and amenities were spotless, the shop well stocked and very well priced and the staff extremely friendly and helpful!

I love it here so much that I am going back again next week for five nights!

Well done Tanner! Perfect campsite!

Reviewer: Big Rig 15 reviews from this member

 Using a heavyweight American RV in the UK does come with some problems but this site overcomes them all. The gently undulating layout is a pleasure to use and the pitches are large and well-spaced, even when the site is being heavily used in the holiday periods. The staff are friendly and very helpful (thanks for the use of the overgrown crow bar when the trailer hitch jammed) and the facilities would be hard to beat anywhere.

The shower blocks are scrupulously well kept and sensibly placed to service the large site.

Although the approach down a fairly narrow lane was, at first view worrying, the new entrance and service roads are sensibly laid out although I can't quite understand why the short stretch of new driveway is quite so narrow since there is plenty of space on either side and a few more feet of tarmac would keep all the 10 wheels of our unit on the roadway at the same time.

The revised site - we visited eighteen months earlier - is much improved and now provides a ground-level chemical dump which large units can easily use. Many thanks for thinking of that since so many sites do not cater for inboard waste tanks.

Our large furry pet (mountain dog) had ample space to exercise on the nearby fields and eventually learned to ignore the swarms of rabbits which hop around the pitches - its was a very enjoyable stay and the glorious weather did help.

To fellow users of American Rv's, watch out for the Goudhurst approach since they seem to have forgotten necessary yellow lines which make for an interesting meander between vehicles parked by selfish owners - we frightened quite a few of the natives before emerging at the other end.
