Date of Visit: April 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Geoff and margaret 1 review from this member

 We visited this site very recently. It is a large, well organised, clean and friendly site to which we will certainly return. Plenty of clean toilets and showers despite being busy at a holiday weekend. Shop on site reasonably well stocked for necessary items and other shops a few miles away. The nearest pub is now closed and appears to have been for some time. The nearest one now is approx a mile down narrow lanes and has very restricted opening hours in two three hour spells but other pubs aren't that difficult to find. This really doesn't detract from the campsite in any way at all.

Reviewer: Williams family 2 reviews from this member

 Visited the site over the August Bank holiday as a last resort due to bad planning on my part, well, what a find !

The staff on site were very helpful and the grounds were very clean and tidy, layout of the pitches included fences between caravans which I always find a treat.

Cafe & shop on site were nice with good quality food, the shower/toilet blocks were top notch and cleaned regularly. Showers were very well laid out and we had no trouble with cold showers at all.

What we found fantastic was a family fun day was organised on the site which included, dog Show, Live Music, Clown/Magician, Karaoke & BB all for a Fiver. We had a blast with all the family shattered by the end of the day.

This site is situated near a railway line of which we backed straight up against, but to be honest with the modern trains not that loud we really did not notice them all weekend.

Getting to the site was very easy and clearly sign posted.

Thanks to the team at the park for a great weekend, we will be back for sure.

Reviewer: Bridgeywidge 29 reviews from this member

 Spent 4 nights here in unbelievable weather, whilst visiting family. It was my husband's 'first time' under canvas and a great introduction to the great outdoors. Lovely well-cared for site with good facilities. Shame the weekend crowd (went from a field with 2 tents in to Glastonbury levels) didn't respect them as much. Makes you wonder what they do at home.
Definitely recommended. Lovely rabbits hopping around, pleasant hook-up pitches (would book these in future) and big open spaces for tents. Downside was nowhere really to freeze iceblocks. The shop would, but at a price (25p for a small one), and they go in the freezer with the food served at the cafe. Trains do run but aren't a problem - just the wood pigeons!

Reviewer: Twocattitudesnorth 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed just the one night before an early morning ferry to France. Really near to Dover port so extremely handy as a stopover site.

Great little cafe on site for teas, coffees breakfasts, teacakes etc. Good prices too.

Pub nearest campsite is closed but there is another one nearby. We went on a Sat night and were very lucky to get a table and a seat as all tables and seats were reserved for people wanting to eat!

Train line does run along back of site but didn't disturb us. Toilets and showers were kept very clean but hot water in the showers was barely warm enough to wash in and this really let this otherwise lovely site down.

Broadhembury Holiday Park - Ashford

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

 Spent a few nights here over the bank holiday weekend.

Site is large, nicely layed out and well looked after. It's split up into smaller areas, depending wether you want electric hook up or not. We were tented without electric & so were at the far end in one of three, slightly sloping fields, where you pitch where you like. There is a railway line running along one side of the site, but trains were infrequent & didn't bother us.

The facilities are good, clean, modern & we didn't have to queue even thou the site was quite full. There are six showers, basins & loos in the mens (same in the ladies). There's also a seperate area for washing up.

One problem with the facilities - although the wash basins always had piping hot water, all the showers ran cold (mens & ladies). Tried them morning, afternoon & evening - always stone cold!

If they could sort out the showers this would be an excellent site.

 Have just returned from a lovely quiet weekend at Hawthorne Farm. Though not my first stay here, the last one was over 20 years ago.

We chose this site as we had looked at several the weekend before & this was the only one that wasn't boggy.

When we arrived we had the whole field to ourselves & could pitch any where, which was great as we had a new tent to put up. Gradually over the weekend more campers turned up. The toilet block is very modern, there is no limit on hot water in the 6 showers, there is also a hairdryer in the ladies(not sure about mens). Plenty of washing-up sinks, also a laundry with tumble dryer.

Though there isn't a play area, there is a lovely big tree in the middle of the field, so our girls had great time climbing it and making new friends. We spent Saturday morning looking around Dover museum, only £7 for family ticket & was money well spent.

I can not think of anything we didn't like about this site, in fact we are returning for a longer stay at the end of the month.

Reviewer: Dozy-tart 1 review from this member

 Have stayed at this campsite on several occassions and have always found it to be very clean, tidy and friendly.

The site itself is very pleasant and well maintained, the facilities are really good and always kept clean and warm.

The shop is well stocked with essentials and more!

The site also has a cafe.

It is very close to tesco and has a pub a short walk away. The beach is a short drive.

The campsite allows dogs. The kids really like the site, although it could do with a small playground! although there is one down the road!

Reviewer: Stacey Dighton 2 reviews from this member

 This site is one of our favourites. The toilet blocks are always clean. There are plenty of washing up facilities and the grounds are well looked after. The shop is pretty well stocked, the staff are friendly and there is also a cafe. We have never had a bad trip here (been several times with the family). The kids love it.

Reviewer: Pieeater 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed one night before getting ferry in the morning. Good clean site. Pitch were you like. No beer on site and food limited to a small shop. Lots of wildlife. Narrow road on the lead up to it. Well worth a stop over if you're going to the continent
