Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly) Jun 2025

We had a lovely stay at Chestnut Meadow the night before Eastbourne Triathlon. The welcome on arrival was so friendly and genuine. The pod was immaculate, tucked away in the corner under some trees. The pod came with a heater (very powerful if required) a tea station, bed, side table with lamp and a fold out table and chairs. The shower/toilet block was clean with hot showers! We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend staying here - we will be!

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly) Dec 2024

Highly recommended, the pod was spotless, warm and cozy. Site was really quiet and clean, toilets and shower rooms nice and clean. The only problem was that the toilets were far from our pod, rather than that everything was perfect. Our dog definitely enjoyed it😊
