Amazing hideaway

Absolutely stunning, tranquil. Lots of bird life, relaxing, nice walks. Lovely couple that run it. Very very helpful and friendly. Great for walks, beach. Shop near ye. Restaurants nearby. Will definitely be back. Thankyou. Ps. I didn’t want to do a review as I’d like to think there’s always a place for me. But that would be selfish. Lol.

Excellent

Just returned from 4 nights at River Brede farm, Trish & Steve are very welcoming and helpful and keep the CL in lovely condition. Great peaceful location right next door to the nature reserve and great for dog walking. Electric, water and waste on pitch, new chemical disposal point and big information hut. All in all great CL and a lovely stay. Thanks Steve and Trish.

Gonna be great!

Our first time here, just 2 nights, but we know the area really well so it's great to finally have a site in this location! Very much a work in progress, but it is remarkable how much the owners have achieved in a short time - since the Spring. Very peaceful, excellent for birds; the walk to Castle Water gave us an hour in the hide watching the nesting Cormorants. Woken up by Reed Warblers in the morning, kept awake by Marsh frogs in the middle of the night - superb. The owners are lovely & great hosts and are working hard on site all day. At present the 3 hard standing pitches & 2 grass pitches are rather huddled in 1 corner of a huge field & hence too close together; I had to endure a lady talking to her mum on the phone for 45 minutes - not her fault, she was inside her motorhome, but with windows open this is what happens when units are close; it isn't why we use CLs. The owners plan to extend both the hard standing & grass pitches round the field in future. Trish explained that they also want to create some access points to the river so fishing will be possible. Perhaps a bit too manicured for a wildlife friendly CL? I understand keeping the grass short around the pitches, but not across the entire field - there were many Swallows flying over the grass looking in vain for insects; with longer grass there would be many more insects including butterflies, and more birds. Just wow some paths through it for dog walking? A lot less work! Maybe offer non - serviced grass pitches as an option in the future? Excellent for cycling & walking, & the nearby fish shop is super - we had fresh dressed local crab! Great work so far - we'll be back!

SUPER SITE!

We have recently purchased a new motorhome and this was the second time we had taken it away, staying fairly local. We originally tried to book a different CL, which wasn't available, and saw this advertised at the bottom of the website page. Being a new CL it isn't listed in the directory, however, what a surprise this find was for us, as it was perfect. We were given a very warm welcome from the owner, Tricia, who explained everything on site and gave suggestions for visiting local places. Quiet and plenty of space. Furthermore, each pitch had it's own supply of water. All was very well kept and we were told by Tricia's husband, Steve, that they still have further plans to make the site even better. A very special CL which we hope to return to.

What a gem

A gem of a site ,lovely area, location excellent for walking especially across the fields to Rye and around the nature reserve. Trish and Steve were lovely hosts and very welcoming. The site is so peaceful at the time of our stay you could hear a cuckoo and the marsh frogs and became acquainted with the local pheasant strutting his stuff around the site. We will definitely be back soon.

Fabulous little campsite

Lovely warm welcome from Trish and her husband on arrival. So many bike routes and walks from the site to beautiful Rye and Rye Harbour Nature Reserve in particular. Lush green field to park up on, really well kept and pretty. Loved everything about our stay here. We will definitely be back. Favourite CL so far in 2.5 years of membership.

Fantastic site

Stayed 2 nights at this wonderful site. Really peaceful and pretty. The walk to rye through fields of lambs was a delight. The owners were friendly and helpful, initial info was just right and they were around if needed, not fussy at all. The pitch was flat, water and ehu were close to each unit. I'll be returning for sure.

Peaceful stay in middle of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve

Trisha and Steve, our hosts and owners of River Brede Farm site, set in the beautiful Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, have worked so hard to make this new site work well for visitors and it does! A very peaceful rural spot with views to Rye, Winchelsea and the ruins of Camber Castle, all within easy walking distance. We were welcomed on site by the owners, shown our pitch and given plenty of local information. They have created an information shack with lots of up to date local info, leaflets and maps to help visitors make the most of their time there. Everything was clean and tidy, well marked pitches with electric hookups and water tap. Plenty of public footpaths from the site as well as cycle paths along the coast to Winchelsea Beach, Rye Harbour and beyond. Delicious lunch at Los Gringos Mexican restaurant in Rye, and a Greek meal at William The Conquerer pub at Rye Harbour. Also worth a visit are the Sussex Wildlife Trust’s Discovery Centre which has an excellent choice of sandwiches, cakes and coffees as well as binoculars to watch the many birds on the salt marsh. Very good wheelchair access here and in their bird hides. We enjoyed walking to Rye along the river Brede from the site, stopping at Camber Castle which is just 10 mins away. The Halpin bird hide was fascinating - literally a window onto the water, and all sorts of birds to see nesting and using the water. Highlights of the visit to River Brede Farm were the warm, attentive owners, hearing the cuckoo every day, wonderful dawn chorus and peace and quiet. We hope to return regularly.

Peaceful Easy Feeling

Just returned from a four-night stay at this beautiful and restful site. Owners Tricia and Steve were most welcoming and friendly, giving great advice about local places of interest. The site is quite new and very neatly laid out, our hardstanding pitch was spacious with EHU and water supply handily placed. If you like walking and/or cycling there are some fabulous trails on the doorstep. Birdwatchers will revel at the nature reserve at Rye Harbour with several "hides" on hand if that is your thing. The New Inn at Winchelsea has a charming beer Garden if the weather is kind and the beer and food is great. Rye has some lovely eating establishments for an evening out catering for most tastes. We very much enjoyed our stay and will be back I am sure. Thank You Tricia and Steve you're doing a great job !
