We stayed here, in our motorhome, for a few days at the end of September - the intention being to use our bikes as much as possible. We were given a warm welcome by the parents of the owner - who were both manning the tills in the shop. They were both very friendly and good salespersons too. The highly recommended lemon drizzle cake went down a treat.
Not long after our arrival the heavens opened - but this did not deter my husband from putting up the drive away awning. Unfortunately the rain continued to the next day - so we decided to drive to Dover Castle - which fortunately has parking for motorhomes. The remaining days we cycled to Ramsgate, nearby English Heritage sites in Deal and beyond, and into Sandwich itself - with cycle routes easy to follow.
Despite the rain, and taking our own precautions, we were able to drive on and off the site without any problem. Although it is classed as suitable for motorhomes, I don't know how we would have fared had we had more rain during the few days we were there. The entrance/exit to the field was getting slightly muddy towards the end of our stay.
This is a great little site and is an idea location, if like us, you like to get out and about on bicycles.
Summer break
My wife and I arrived at the site and was made very welcome by Alison. Their shop is well stocked with fresh vegetables, meat and cakes. We have a motorhome, a bonus for us was the transport links to the Kent coast via a train the station was only 10 mins away from the site. The site it self is great a little road noise but we got used to that. Sandwich village is really nice and such friendly people. I tried the homemade cakes that Alison made which were very nice,my wife has a gluten intolerance and we were talking to Alison about it. Alison does not usually bake gluten or dairy free cakes but she decided to make my wife a gluten free cake. We went out for the day and on our return presented us with with a very warm cake needless to say with a cup of tea the cake went down very well,cant thank her enough for for the 2 cakes she baked. We will at some point return for a break at Simon and Alisons site.
Excellent site
Just spent a lovely two weeks here. Simon and Alison are some of the nicest people you could wish to meet and they have worked extremely hard to make the site what it is...very clean and well kept. The site is a large level grass area forming part of a small market garden, with Sandwich being an easy level walk away. The grass is regularly mown and kept short. It is very central for visiting the Cinque Ports and other areas of interest. Their onsite shop is great,serving their own veg and Alison's home made cakes which are to die for!
We will certainly be back and is highly recommended.
Lovely Quiet Site
Nice quiet CL site, a new site with nice flat pitches and friendly owners. A 10 minute walk into Sandwich with a good mix of pubs and restraunts and boat trips from the quay to see the seals on the sand banks.
Great little CL with really friendly owners
If it’s a CL near a small historic town your after come here. The owners couldn’t be more welcoming taking time out of their busy day to talk to us. The facilities although basic were 1st class with a level well drained grass pitch and electric hook up. There is a nice farm shop on site and Sanwich is only 5-10 mins walk. There are numerous footpaths leading to the beach and surrounding countryside.
We will definitely return again.
