Brook Farm Reviews

Our stay

The pitches were good and the little café was in a great location and also good, but the showers, toilets and washing up area were not good at all. On our last night we had to wade through 6 inches of water to get to the toilets. There was also building work going on in the toilet area. I hope he improves it as it could be a brilliant site.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated. Whilst we do currently have building work ongoing, this is being done to further improve the site, hence why we are currently one of the cheapest sites in Kent! However we still provide free hot showers with no timer, shower gel as well as toilet roll! Things are only improving here with the building work etc so excited to be adding to the site for upcoming guests.

Lovely location, friendly owners

We found the location good, quiet countryside beside a lovely RSPB wood for walks and close to Canterbury and Whitstable. We took an electric tent pitch and there was plenty of space and a nice flat pitch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice pizzas made to order on Friday and Saturday nights and a little coffee/snack bar in the mornings. Clean toilets and showers, but unfortunately the water pressure was erratic so the showers ran dry or went cold whenever someone flushed a loo. Interesting animal enclosures within the site.

Lovely, chilled little campsite

We loved this campsite. It was the perfect place for our little girl to run around, look at the animals and make new friends. We loved the fire pit, being close to the sea and the woods. We’ll be back.

Great campsite

Great campsite - we had a really nice stay.

Cracking long weekend at Brook Farm

A fabulous few quiet nights away at Brook Farm! James was there to meet us when we arrived and explained about the site. As it was quiet, he said we could pitch where we wanted to. It is a small quiet site with well kept grass pitches, enclosed by woods on two sides with beautiful views across the local farmland. There are public footpaths in the woods behind the campsite - one path even leads to the pub in Blean! On Friday and Saturday evenings there were wood fired pizzas available, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings, crepes, waffles and coffee were available all from a converted shepherds hut on-site run by James. Good supplies of wood and kindling was available at a fair price and James also had fire pits that you could hire if you needed to. There were animal pens in the middle of the site with a variety of animals including sheep, chickens, ducks and Guinea pigs and food can be purchased for children to feed the animals. On Monday when it was quiet, the sheep and goats were let out to roam the field and keep the hedge lines in check! James is in the early stages of building something special here, nothing was too much trouble for him and his customer service was second to none. Our only piece of constructive criticism would be the toilet block. There are 3 toilets and 3 showers onsite and when the site was busy on a Saturday there could on occasion be a wait for the showers and toilets and during this period the hygiene standards slipped a little. However a lot of this was due to a lack of consideration by the people using them! The provision of a couple of extra toilets and showers would be a welcome addition and do a lot to ease this pressure. Overall, a fab campsite which was close enough but far enough from Whitstable. The local taxi service will also collect and drop off there (make sure you book in advance if Friday or Saturday night!) We will definitely be back to see how James's project is progressing (at the time of writing he was in the process of constructing a site office) and would recommend this site for couples or families. Many thanks James!

Great week away

Had a super week, lots of space! Lovely woodland walks from site - great if you have a dog, very dog friendly. Very close to Whitstable, Canterbury and Folkestone for exploring. James was a great host. Pizza Friday was a treat.

Lovely

Lovely stay, lovely location, lovely staff.
