What a delightful site! Set in and around a range of farm buildings, pitches are in groups of two or three with shrubs, walls and gardens dividing the area up.
Hens wander the farmyard, rabbits and guinea pigs are penned on the lawn to delight smaller campers: manageress Sarah is only too happy to chat about the animals, best paths for walking and anything else you need to make your stay perfect.
The shower and toilet block is quite modest but very clean: there are coin operated washing machines and a fridge. I think the site was pretty full when we stayed but we never had to queue.
The walking direct from the site is fantastic with two long distance footpaths and a huge number of local ones being well signed through the fields and villages.
We will certainly return to this Wealdon treasure - my husband caught the train direct from his office and I walked over the fields with the dogs to meet him (a 10 minute stroll): a great start to the weekend.
This is a spacious campsite with not too many pitches. The campsite owner Sarah was lovely! Very friendly and informative about the site and local shops.
There are lots of sheep and chickens on the farm although the chickens were kept under lock and key due to the local fox!
On arrival we were offered a perfect pitch in our own private fenced off garden with was equipped with a bricked fire pit and wooden chairs.
Wood was in good supply but Sarah doesn't mind if you bring your own.
I can't really comment on the location as it rained the whole time we were there so we didn't explore, but we went to the local Homebase and purchased a £15 gazebo to put up next to the fire which was great!
The facilities were better than any other site I have been to. There is a brick built outhouse with separate shower and toilets for men and women. 1 shower and 2 toilets each. Due to the small number of campers allowed on site this was more than enough. It also had 2 separate washing up sinks, washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave plus plug points for hair dryers for the none hardy campers!
We will definitely come here again and would recommend to anyone.
This was the second time we've visited what is a well organised, well run site. Last time we had our own enclosure as a full family, this time just my son and me.
The site is very nicely located to reach Kent coast and easy to reach from London, too.
It's a farm, so you mustn't mind early rising when the cockerels crow!
Thoroughly recommended - we'll return, that I know.
Stayed here for the Easter weekend and was pretty impressed.
Sarah (the site manager) was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. We took our campervan and had our pick of pitches, with lovely views over the fields and the last of the sun. We really liked the way that the site isn't regimented - the pitches are scattered about, hidden in little corners of the farm and it gives it a more informal feel.
Every pitch offered to us had a camp fire burning facility, table and two chairs. Unfortunately, after the second night of rain we got stuck in the mud and Sarah had to come and tow us out with a tractor and much pushing! She was still good humoured despite us ruining the grass pitch! We then moved onto some hardstanding for the final night and this was fine.
The facilities were basic, but clean and never needed to queue. The mens had one shower (free vend) and two toilet cubicles as well as two washing-up sinks, washing machine, freezer and microwave. Recycling facilities were next to the toilet block.
There aren't any shops nearby or within easy walking distance, so you have to be well planned. If walking is your thing though, then there are many links to footpaths and you can get to Groombridge which has a lovely pub. Also from there you can access a cycle path (along a disused railway line) to East Grinstead.
Overall I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to go back
One word that sums up our experience at Manor Court Farm - fantastic. We had not been camping in many years and it was the first time we took our 9 year old daughter. We arrived at 7pm on Thursday night just before the Easter long weekend. Sarah (the site manager) was extremely helpful right from the get go. She even took our daughter for a little tour of the farm while we were busy pitching our tent. She had allocated a space near the power outlets as requested.
Facilities (toilets, showers, kitchen and laundry) were all very clean and in good working order.
The camp site itself is set within 350 acres of land which is open for you to walk around. There are sheep, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs for the children to visit.
There were no shops within short walking distance but
Wood for the camp fires was plentiful and was at £ 4.50 for a big bag. I got a bit carried away and used up 6 bags during our 2 day stay.
Tunbridge Wells was a 10 minute drive away where you could find Tesco, Sainsburys, M&S and a lot of other shops and department stores. Unfortunately we did not visit any tourist attractions nearby so really cannot comment on those.
It did rain everyday but the whole experience was so good that we are looking to go back within the next month.
Definitely will be going back as long as they will have us :-)
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
One of the best aspects of Manor Court Farm is the camp fire facility. (Every site should allow them!) And not just firepits but outdoor seating too. This would be appreciated at any time but specially on a cool, end-of-season evening. It turned into a social occasion when we shared our fire with some friendly neighbouring campers.
A warm welcome was provided on arrival by Sarah's mum, who was holding the fort. All the amenities came up to scratch, being of a good standard and well maintained. The farm setting, traditional Kentish house and free-roaming chickens all made for a relaxing, get-away-from-it-all atmosphere. Being situated right on the A264, though, the pitches nearest the house are subject to some traffic noise. To compensate, they are probably the prettiest spots and each unit has plenty of elbow room. It would not put us off returning.
The countryside is picturesque: rolling fields and woods. There is a pleasant walk almost opposite, via the first gate in Broad Lane. A footpath leads through a dense wood and out into fields. Another 25-minute walk will take you up to the Chafford Arms in Fordcombe where the club sandwiches, garden and Harveys ale are top-notch.
My 4-year old son and I recently enjoyed a week's cycling and camping holiday using Manor Court Farm as our base.
Having made the (over) ambitious decision to cycle most of the way from south west London to Ashurst, I arrived exhausted at the end of a long, long day fighting our way up Kentish hillsides.
Sarah (the proprietor) was waiting for us and immediately made us welcome in the farmhouse kitchen while we finished off the paperwork. Throughout the whole week, she could not have been more friendly and helpful.
The campsite had a range of pitches, and the site was dotted with electrical hook ups (which we didn't use), firepits and some rope swings on the larger trees. We generally left the site straight after breakfast and came back just before bedtime, so we didn't really use these.
We found a quiet pitch in one corner; the site varied from quiet to nearly full over the course of the week but we weren't ever bothered by noise. The ground under the pitch was flat and stone-free.
We were travelling as light as we could and didn't have any cooking equipment, so Sarah directed us to the local pub (the Chafford Arms, about a mile away), where we could always find a warm welcome and a decent meal (and for me, pint).
The toilet block is modern and well-maintained. There is only one male and one female shower, but we only had to wait once - however, we are both early risers and the block was getting busier by the time we were finished.
It gets checked and cleaned regularly - at one point during the week, some idiot teenagers spread toilet paper and toothpaste all over the place, but it was cleaned up as soon as Sarah found out.
The block also has a fridge, washing machine and dryer, sink and power points. The washing machine and dryer are a bit temperamental, but again Sarah was on hand to help whenever it misbehaved.
Ashurst is well-placed for exploring Kent and Sussex. It is very near Groombridge Place, and Tunbridge Wells, Hever Castle, Penshurst Place and Tonbridge Castle are all within cycling distance. We also managed to go further afield by taking trains from nearby Ashurst station.
Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and will certainly come back - probably with a bigger tent and the whole family.
Spent four relaxing days with our friends and their children in this wonderful and well thought out site - which still benefits from being a true working farm (chickens freely wandering about). There are types of pitches for everyone - secluded, sheltered,open or with other campers.
What is exceptional is the chance to have a campfire! Us adults and our children (aged 14, 15 &16)had lovely evenings toasting marshmallows while considering the stars above. This is unusual for teenagers who would rather 'jump-bike' or peruse their Face-book page.Of course, the opportunity to wash our smoke infused clothes was always available with the convenient washing machine being in the shower/toilet/washroom block. But I think we quite enjoyed the memories that the aroma bought back!
The toilets and showers are relatively small (but spotlessly clean), however we easily managed to time our visits so we did not have to wait. Sarah went out of her way to make our stay a good one - and although like all campsites there has to be rules - it still feels very relaxed. The surroundings are beautiful - with spectacular views and walks to be enjoyed. We shall certainly return.
Lovely, peaceful and secluded. My son of 11 had plenty to do and explore. It's a working farm and although it was busy when we were there, we had a fairly secluded pitch with a fire pit, which goes some way to making the camping experience more authentic! Wood was on sale at £4.50 a bag and it lasted us all night. Take everything you're likely to need as the rural location means you can't pop 5 minutes down the road for provisions. If you're going to have a fire pit, take some baking potatoes and foil ! We will definitely be back in the future.
What a wonderful place to have a holiday. We stayed at the campsite for 10 days and was very sad to go. It is still one of the last few places where you are not bombarded with rules and you feel like you have stepped back in time. Families are still playing together because there is space around you and it was wonderful to see all the campfires at night.
The things that stood out to me was the cleanliness, willingness of the managers to be of help and the powershower that always had hot water. The washing up facilities did run out of hot water sometimes, but the one night that we were too much in a hurry to wait for the 15 minutes it takes to heat again, we used a jug to help ourselves to the ample hot water at the hand basins. Pitches were all placed in close proximity of the facilities and water was close at hand. I even had a tour of the Bed and Breakfast and can honestly say that the pictures on the websites does not do this property justice.
We are looking forward to returning to this site and using it as our base to further explore Kent. There are so many opportunities for cyclists, walkers and vehicles alike to explore the castles, farmshops and villages of this beautiful area.

Don't be put off by the proximity of the site to the road as the noise of the traffic is drowned by the noise of the aeroplanes overhead and although both of these stop or reduce during the night it is not long before the peace is shattered again when the cockerel starts up in the early hours of the morning! We had a very lovely pitch to ourselves away from anyone else and the ability to have the fire was an absolute bonus. The shower and toilet facilities are perhaps to be considered a bonus on a site of this type and they were basic but functional, although a bit limited on space when more than 2 people trying to use them. Meals at The Hare in the next village were excellent and Sissinghurst is a gorgeous place to visit. It is doubtful we would visit again but only due to the noise - though I note no other reviews have mentioned it so perhaps just the position of our pitch.
Wonderful park we had a great stay me and my wife will be back soon and can not wait. Every thing was clean and well kept. Not so great for kids as no pool but for a 2 night stay was def worth it and for couples its lovely and relaxing with lots of things to see and do nearby. And lovely places to walk and things to see and do and the staff are all really nice.
Site is in a good location about 1.5 miles from Tunbridge Wells and it's well signposted from the road. Many homes and castles are within easy reach. Ashurst station is closer but don't go there because it has no facilities like cab office, and with a lot of kit it may be a bit too far to walk. There are no shops or facilities within short walking distance, and I never found out if they sold provisions on site - if they did, they certainly didn't shout about it, which is a shame.
Site owner was friendly enough, but didn't come round with logs for the fire yet expressed surprise after I helped myself. Children tend to be kept together in the fields, with other groups in discrete pitches - initially I thought it a bit odd that we were in a secluded area, but it worked out fine, after we asked to moved off a pitch with a perfect view of the back of a barn and the car park. Very caravan and car friendly though - ground was very hard, even though it had been raining constantly for several weeks. That made it hard to get tent pegs in, of course.
During the weekend, the chickens are let out of their coops and will come round to peck - very cute. Rabbits and guinea pigs obviously don't get handled enough though, and while they don't bite, they don't like being stroked very much.
Toilets and showers are clean and a hand towel and soap is available, as are two washing machines, although there was no hot water for washing up one evening, and another evening it was lukewarm.
One of the fields was quite windswept, while other areas are more secluded. Very pleasant walks though the fields reveal picturesque rolling Kentish countryside.
I’ve been to this lovely campsite twice with my two children and have nothing but good things to say about it. The owner is very friendly and helpful, the toilet / shower block is very clean and tidy and there’s a fridge, a washing machine, dryer and microwave to use.
We’ve had two different pitches, but both have been ideal. The pitches are dotted around the campsite so you really feel like you have your own area of the farm with a good feeling of privacy. The pitches have garden furniture for you to use and your own ready made fire pits. You can buy a bag of logs from the farm and we had a roaring fire going which the kids loved.
The site feels very safe and secure with a security gate that you have to get the code for to gain entry. The site is so peaceful that you could happily spend your whole trip there relaxing, going on walks, etc if you wanted, but there are many local attractions nearby if you want to go out and about. We had a great few hours at Groombridge Place which is less than a mile away.
All in all, the perfect campsite, highly recommended and we can’t wait to go back.
This is the perfect campsite and we had a fabulous weekend. It's a small site and they seemed to keep families with small children separate which worked out very well in the evenings when the kids were in bed. There is a couple of rope swings and the farm to walk around. The site felt very safe and we were happy for our kids to 'go off' with all the other children. Its not far from the Pinetum - word of advice don't hire bikes from the Pinetum. It cost us over £50 for a family of 4 for 3 hours!
