Lovely meadow site, well cared for, peaceful and quiet with secluded pitches and great views. Hundreds of butterflies, it was beautiful. Clean composting toilets, cleaner and better smelling than regular camp toilets. Big hill to climb up to get to pitches from car, but pitches are lovely and flat. Very close to Eastbourne.

Close to everything you might want to explore. The hosts were lovely and helpful and around if you needed, but otherwise left you to enjoy the stay. The location was perfect, close to beaches, woodlands, Friston Forest and we even got a glimpse of the Eastbourne airshow and a stunning bright orange moon at night! The plums were delicious! We were also so surprised how incredibly well equipped the Bell tent was, we didn't want for anything and it was a pleasant surprise how well catered it is. The fact, there are only a few pitches / tents which was perfect for us and we left feeling completely refreshed, relaxed and reset to get back to the everyday grind. Already recommended to all of our friends!
