Peaceful end of season stay

This is one of the nicest Club sites I have stayed on. A lovely friendly welcome on arrival with information for dog walks in the area. The pitches are lovely and spacious and the whole site is cleaned constantly and well kept. The facilities are absolutely spotless and the heated bathrooms were welcomed after a wet walk! Very peaceful setting I heard owls tooting as I went to sleep. Two sawyers pub just a short walk away, had a fantastic Sunday roast. Was a very dark walk back as the time of the year. But the lane is quiet so absolutely fine. I will definitely be back!

Happy camper

Until now I have only used CLs but fancied a few extra comforts as the weather gets colder. So this was my first club site visit and everything about it impressed me. Full marks for the lovely wooded setting, large pitches, pristine heated amenity block and friendly welcome. There’s plenty to do in the area too, including Hastings Old Town, Battle, Rye and Dungeness

My favourite CAMC site !

To briefly provide some background, I only bought my campervan at Easter this year, but have so far racked up nearly 50 nights away at various campsites. Without doubt, Fairlight Wood club campsite is my all-time favourite. The site is compact, and easy to navigate; it is so peaceful- and you feel at one with nature with all wildlife around you; and the wardens on-site are the most friendly and welcoming I have met so far. The facilities are kept spotlessly clean, and the whole site is well maintained by the staff. With Guestling Wood right on your doorstep, and many pubs, eateries, and places to visit close by, this is an ideal place to stay either just for one night, or for a longer relaxing break (tho' being so quiet - possibly more suitable for either a single, or couple of adults, rather than families with younger children). I have already stayed here three times (just one night at a time as I don't live too far away) this year, and have another cheeky night booked before the site closes in November.

Excellent site

In agreement with other reviews; excellent and well looked after site, facilities clean, plenty of hot water, and perfect position for a walk out to the local pub where we had a great meal. I only put less stars for "Good for families" as there isn't a play area, but there were young children there and they were quite happy going around the site on their scooters with no worries. Its a bit of a tricky lane to get to and from the site, narrow and because the woods are popular with dog walkers, the road is quite busy so a bit hairy on times, and we only had a campervan. Having said that it wouldn't put us off visiting again. Highly recommend this site visiting Hastings, Rye etc.

Absolutely superb

Everything written in other reviews regarding the immaculate cleanliness, super friendly and helpful wardens, beautiful peaceful woodland surroundings, great Motorhome and caravan facilities, 8 minutes walk to the Two Sawyers pub or Tic Tocory tearoom, place for doggy heaven….we totally echo. Stayed 3 nights, we were blessed with great sunshine. 42 pitches and you were allowed to chose where you wanted to go. Chose pitch 32 which backed onto the woods, equidistant from toilet block and “gate to the pub”, and stayed in the shade vs the blistering heat we had. The cheerful and welcoming warden couple never stopped working - cleaning facilities, cutting grass, tending to new arrivals…very impressed. Pub and tearoom are both highly recommended as served amazing food. Both dog friendly (sitting outside). Totally relaxing getaway …. We will definitely return! Thanks again for all your hard work to keep the site wonderfully clean and welcoming.

Peace and quiet on a chilled out site

Lovely wardens, big pitches, tuck away in the woods. Facilities immaculate! We stayed an extra night. Handy for Rye and Dungeness. Quite tight access and google maps does its best to route you down narrow lanes!

Dog paradise

This was our first motorhome outing with 4 small dogs. Boy, did we hit the jackpot with this site. It’s small and very peaceful with excellent, clean and tidy facilities. It’s not great for families as there is not much to do if you have little ones. If, however, you have dogs, you couldn’t ask for more. The site is surrounded by woodland that is lovely for an early morning walk with the dogs. A short 5 minute walk through this wood you’ll find The Two Sawyers pub. A delightful dog friendly pub with a lovely garden. However, for us and our dogs, the piece de resistance was Guestling Wood. Just across the site entrance over a small lane is an entrance to 110 acres of doggy heaven! The site wardens were fantastic and when we asked if we could stay a further night, they made sure we stayed on the same pitch. It should also be noted that a lot of guests were trying to book extra nights. I think that says it all. Highly recommend!

A peace 😉 of perfection

This club site is an absolute gem which we have now been to several times and will certainly do so in the future. It is extremely peaceful, partly because with little for small people to do on site, it’s not the best site for families and partly because of its location down a small lane away from main roads. There is very little plane noise either. Our visit this time was due to an urgent need to de-stress and, being lucky with the weather, Fairlight exactly hit the spot. It’s small and perfectly formed with very nice wardens. The setting is lovely, surrounded by trees with grass between all pitches and the birdsong is beautiful. Come in bluebell time and you’ll be stunned! The walks are endless and very varied - woods, fields, seashore - with stupendous views from the tops of hills. Plus, with the help of an OS map, they are generally very well signed with stiles and gates in good condition. Be aware if you have a dog that many of the fields are full of sheep. As one reviewer also commented there are some fairly serious hills to climb/pedal up but it’s always worth the effort. We live only an hour away so don’t tend to go out and visit places we already know but Rye and Winchelsea are lovely and Hastings is good fun. We left after 4 nights refreshed and restored (although by the time our van had banged and crunched home over the appalling East Sussex potholes we were somewhat shaken rather than stirred!!)

Perfect Peace....

I honestly don't know why we had never thought to visit this site before. From arriving and throughout, the site managers (sorry, forgotten their names!) couldn't have been more helpful, with advice and guidance on places to go and best routes, and their recommendation for the local butcher saw us with half a freezer full of sausages! The site itself was immaculate but not too show homey, ie natural and relaxing. All pitches were a really good size and no matter where you were, your outlook was the woods. You can walk or ride through the woods direct from the site and we loved the 'Hansel & Gretel' idea of a touch of white paint on certain trees that leads to the local pub, the Two Sawyers, really good food and atmosphere there. I would say the only thing to be aware of, which is nothing to do with the site itself, is that there are some massive hills around if cycling, that Google state as 'moderate' but not too sure in whose language that is! Also, in future I would avoid arriving or leaving on a Sunday as the lane is quite narrow and the woodlands are very popular with people arriving in cars so was a bit hairy trying to make a dash for it when leaving! Would definitely visit here again.

Great Stay , Great Wardens .

We booked 5 night , 8th to 13th august and took the grandchildren with us for the first time for 2 nights not knowing if they would like staying in the caravan . Even though there is no play area there was lots to do in the woods , they loved it . Also crazy golf and the sea life centre in Hastings There is also at fairlight a great country park with a very nice café . The grandchildren loved it so much they asked to stay an extra night luckily I booked 3 nights just in case . I would like to give a big thank you to Cheryl and Dean for being a great help . We had a problem with the TV socket on the post and Dean came over straight away , also Many thanks to you Cheryl for sorting out an extra night stay even though it was after 5 pm . Once again Many Thanks to you both . David & Pauline
