Frist Time
lovely site but would like to go back in summer to see the difference. In my option the caravans were a bit to close together.

Very helpful wardens
We stayed here on our return journey from Rouen France. A great welcome from friendly wardens who assisted us without prebooking for one "peaceful" night at the site. Thanks for your consideration and help.
Visit March 2015
Thought the site was in an excellent state. Whilst reasonably full for this time of year it was quiet and tidy.
The Black Horse pub opposite the site gets 10 out of 10 for charm friendliness and good old fashioned service. No cash - no problem bring it in tomorrow!
We did not try the bus service which appeared to be very frequent between Canterbury and Folkstone. In general we wondered if comments could be made to the club sites regarding access on the local buses for dogs other than guide dogs.
Will return.
Excellent site
Usual high CC standard of showers and toilets and very helpful staff. Decent size pitches, pleasant location. Handy village stores opposite and pub which does good food all day.
I am loathe to say anything good about Stagecoach, but their No16 express bus service (Hythe-Folkestone-Canterbury) which goes along the road every 15 minutes or so was excellent. We oldies made full use of our free bus passes.
Good walks along Folkestone sea front and around, Hythe good, Canterbury OK but £10 per head admission fee to the cathedral is an unchristian rip-off (cf Notre Dame in Paris which merely asks for a donation). Still can't blame Caravan Club for that.
Obviously excellent site for ferries and tunnel.
One reviewer said wifi was poor - we found it OK, a bit slow but reliable enough for emails and looking at weather forecast, but not fast enough for streaming. That I think is a product of how this country lags behind in rural broadband provision.
Also only got basic mobile phone signal (no 3G) on either EE or O2.

great site, shame about wifi
we had a lovely break at the half term with our 6 year old and 3 month old, site was clean and has a nice safe play park we had a pitch next to play park and could see our older son playing from the window. a couple of issue we had where the barrier to drive in was open all the time and you didn't need to use pass key to come in, also the shower in the family bathroom doesn't work properly and water a bit on the cool side, but main issue was that there is no signal on site ( we have iphones on three ) and we paid for wifi for a week of £10 and it was useless very hard to log on and if you do get on it is very slow and logs you out all the time wasn't worth the money, had to go off site to look online for places to go ect, so a waste of £10.
other than that wardens where friendly and we had a great time would go back again but not pay for wifi.
Feb Half term
Have just arrived home, from our 1st try out in our caravan, we had a lovely welcome and site was well explained to us, we had a standard gravel pitch and was of excellent size, even though the weather has been awlful, site and facilites kept up to very high clean standards. My only downside was the amount of rabbits as my dog really wanted to get at them the hole time, and the connection to caravan club Wifi has been really poor and slow, but not stopped us from having an excellent time, and stress free 1st trip, heres to more sites like Black horse farm, many thanks the Moore Family

ferry pitches
Stayed here last friday tell at five mins to five and where asked if we would take a ferry pitch as they where very busy never heard of a ferry pitch but said ok big mistake . We where given a pitch like a ski slope when we ask to move to a level pitch told this was for breakdowns only so had to take a sloping pitch hext to us three caravans taking up five level pitches . Five oclock next morning engines running next to us for fifteen mins to de ice screen in efect we would have got a better nigths sleep om the motorway services as the main road was next to us and it is a noisy road so beware if you are offered a ferry pitch beware . On cpmplaining next day we where told we should have booked earlier we have stayed here many time but will not stay again whilr the current staff are in charge There where at least 8 pitches available that where level we where told we migth run on grass as they did not no how good my driving skills where you could have put a double decker on these pitche ..
