We had 2 days at Delf Nursery and very pleased with this find. Alison was welcoming and helpful. The farm shop is useful to have access to and the surrounding area is generally peaceful. Grass pitch which was nice a flat. Main road nearby by but we didn't find this to be noisy. 20 minute walk into Sandwich which was full of beautiful buildings, an excellent Taproom and lots of history. We were blessed with great weather and it is possible to walk to Sandwich Bay but it is across fields and took us about an hour, Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would like to visit again.
So much to see and do in nearby medieval town of Sandwich
What a marvellous gem of a site, in a peaceful setting, where we stayed for 5 nights. Wandering in and around Sandwich is simply magical, full off wonder and intrigue. The local free tourist guide is readily available, full of information about the many historic sites, plus easy to follow map. Thank you to Alison and her family for making us so welcome. We certainly intend to return again, much still to see and do.
Quiet site, overpriced
As other reviewers have said this is a good location for visiting nearby towns as there is a good bus service within walking distance. The farm shop is handy too. However, at £28 a night off season it is overpriced as there are no toilet facilities and grass had not been mown in the field. In wet weather larger units would struggle to manoeuvre on the field. There is also a busy road near and some road noise.

Great Location, nice friendly CL
Nice CL, 10 to 15 walk into Sandwich and good links for either cycling or public transport to Deal, Walmer, Dover & Canterbury. Flat grass pitches with EHU , fresh water and black disposal. No WC or showers but ok as have these on board . Really good farm shop and owners really friendly and helpful. Will definately be back as we only had a couple of days and plenty more we want to see in the area
Great CL
Stayed for 7 days here. Very easy to find, good access and very level tidy field. The EHUs were well spaced out and the farmshop was very handy. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Bus stop outside which we used to get into Sandwich on a couple of evenings. Sandwich is well served by many pubs, food outlets, cafes, a chip shop and a few shops, including a co-op. We visited the Tenterden Railway, a lovely trip finishing at a National Trust property, in walking distance of the station. So, a quick visit and back on the steam train. Close enough to visit Dover, also the coast around Ramsgate/Margate, up to Whitstable. You could not run out of things to do and so relaxing when back at site. All in all a lovely holiday.
Great site, spacious field
This is a great little site, easy access, just far away enough from main road so traffic noise in minimal. In a really spacious field with great views to field with horses. Electric hook up and level too.
Has shop on site, and walkable into lovely Sandwich along the Rope Walk by the stream. The Red Cow pub welcomes dogs and does a really nice platter for lunch.
Good walks nearby, pathway by stream can get overgrown at the rear of the site, access is via village a few minutes walk.
Thoroughly Enjoyable Stay
Just got back from 4 nights at Delf Nursery, where we were accompanied by our friends, so managed to pitch both Motorhomes next to each other.
Delf Nursery is set back from the road leading into Sandwich, and we all commented on how quiet and peaceful it was.
The field is extremely large, so no problem pitching, and the CWD point and water points are modern and convenient.
There is a bus stop within 5 minutes walk, Sandwich train station is 10 minutes walk and the quaint town centre 15 minutes away. Plenty of good pubs, a great Sausage Shop by the Guildhall. Ossie's Fish and Chip shop in the centre served some lovely grub for lunch one day
Some lovely walks to the ruined Roman Richborough Fort, around the old Town Walls and across Royal St.Georges Golf Course (The Open should have been happening this week!). Lovely pub 15-20 minutes walk along the site boundary, the St. Crispin's Inn, at Worth, with good beer, and a huge beer garden.
We also got the train into Deal (journey takes 7 minutes and costs about £2.75 single) and then walked to a superb pub in the beach at Kingsdown called the Zetland Arms.
Including walking all the way back to the site that day we did 14 miles!
The Farm shop has all you need (apart from no 6kg Calor bottles!), so you don't really need to shop before arriving.
We really enjoyed our stay, and, as it is only 90 minutes from our home in Essex, we will be back. There's plenty to do and see if you want, or it's a lovely site to just chill out.
A good CL
Stayed for a couple of nights and found the site easy to get to and very neat and clean with a good welcome. The field is level with the grass kept short, electric posts are well spaced and there is plenty of room for the 5 units. Easy walk into Sandwich which is interesting with old buildings and boats on the river, walk in the opposite direction across the fields to the pub and village of Worth. There is a good flat cycle ride from Sandwich to Deal along a quiet private road with little traffic. Would definitely revisit.
One of the best!
Really cannot recommend this CL enough! It is really well situated on the edge of Sandwich with loads to do within a relatively small distance including Sandwich itself (a lovely medieval town), Broadstairs, Botany Bay, Whitstable, Margate, Dover, Canterbury and many more.... This site is on a good sized field overlooking farmland with well distributed hook ups for flexible siting. The owners and family are all really friendly and chatty and all helps to make for a very relaxed and informal holiday. The farm shop on site is first class allowing for a self contained stay without the need for visiting the supermarket! The produce is local where possible as is the veg, with a lot of it grown themselves at Delf - the Kent climate makes it out of this world... Speaking of which trying the home-made cakes is essential - they are all to die for! I would highly recommend this site if in the area, whether on the way to the channel ports or staying for a while - will definitely be back. By the way there is also a "Shepherd's Hut" to rent if anybody wants to join you who doesn't have a van... It looks great fun!
Lovely break
Stayed for just 3 nights which wasn’t long enough
Lovely surrounds with horses and a Shetland pony
On a bus route but lots of lovely walks into Sandwich and the beach across the golf course.
Owners very helpful lovely farm shop lemon drizzle to die for.
Will definitely be back.
