This was our first visit to Fairlight Wood Site (13 - 17 Apr 2018). What a gem it was. Small and quiet site, ideal to rest and relax. Great for our dogs as well, as woods. Dog walk from site and woods just across the road. Hastings Country Park just a few minutes drive, which also has fantastic views inland and across the sea. Food shopping within 10-15 mins (variety of well known supermarkets). We We are a couple with two dogs, and found this site ideal for us. We will definitely be returning.
great site
This is our 3rd visit to this site and it never fails to please , the wardens are very friendly and helpful . The weather was not so kind this trip and as reported in a previous review got a little bit boggy , apart from that we bought a bird feeder and set it up outside the caravan , not expecting to see much but was very surprised , loads of nuthatch robin bluetit greattit chaffinch and thrushes . as always the 2 sawyers pub was outstanding, first class meals .
also visited Hastings old town full of different small shops and not forgetting the adventure golf on the sea front . If you like walks then the beach at winchelsea is ideal and lots of sand perfect for dogs .
We will be back again .
Lovely and peaceful
Lovely site and very friendly wardens. Usual standard of cleanliness. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good and the site and surrounding woodlands gets very boggy.
Would return but more of a summer site

Lovely Little Site
Tranquil, peaceful site set in a wood, short stroll through the woods to a country pub with great food. Another 5 minutes on from this is a lovely little tea rooms, with great views over the hills & valleys.
Very friendly & helpful staff.
Spotless facilities, with lots of hot water when using showers.
We will defintley return.
Lovely tranquil site
This was our first ever stay at a Caravan Club site and just our second ever trip in our new motorhome. Very pleased with the site - very tranquil, good sized pitches, super helpful and friendly wardens and clean facilities. Just a short walk to The Two Sawyers pub for an excellent lunch and also a short walk to the village shop. We'll be back for longer next time.
A lovely site
We visit the site for a few days every year and are never disappointed. Situated in woodland and very peaceful with the usual club high quality facilities it is an oasis of calm in this busy world, we will be back next year.
Just perfect
We stayed for our silver anniversary and had dinner in Rye (taxi quite expensive but well worth it - Webbes restaurant). We were blessed with the most perfect autumn weather. We sat outside our campervan and enjoyed the wonderful setting and vibrant wildlife. We also enjoyed using the showers /loos, which were the warmest ever! Not sure why this site closes for winter as it is not muddy or difficult to get to and with those lovely warm facilities ...! We'll definitely be back.
Fairlight
Just wanted to say a thank you and good luck to the lovely couple that have been the Walden’s here.
They are retiring and have done a wonderful job at this site and I’m sure that I’m not alone is saying that they will be missed and good luck for the future.
I’ve just spent three nights here and it’s a beautiful location and the team here have made it even better.
From greeting me as I turned up and offering some additional help when pitching up. I was amazed that with so many members passing through this site that they had remembered me from past visits.
On having an early morning chat whilst walking the dog, I found out that as the site closes so does their time as Walden’s.
People like this is what attracts me to this club and will be a hard act to follow.
I normally like to slip away on leaving a site, but on this occasion I personally had to stop and say good bye.
All the best for your retirement.
A lovely setting
We only had a 2 night stopover but have been here before, about 5 years ago. The facilities are excellent and well up to CAMC standards. The staff, (temporary stand ins for this weekend) were excellent and very helpful.
Despite storm Brian, we enjoyed our short stay and if needing to be in that area again will probably stay here.
The local pub, The Two sawyers, served excellent food but you must book in advance. It's just a short walk through the woods.
Lovely autumn break
Stayed for 4 nights at beginning of October for a relaxing break. First time at this smaller site and we were impressed by its location and especially the wonderful dog walking in the wood next to the site. The trees surrounding the site were showing their autumn colours and there was an abundance of acorns, sweet chestnuts and wildlife everywhere. The wardens were very friendly and welcoming and extremely helpful when we found a puncture in one of the car wheels ,delaying our departure the next day. The facilities were spotless and the wardens made a great effort to keep the pitches clear of debris from the trees. Hastings was a real treat to visit, especially the Shipwreck museum and the Old Town but it was difficult to decide which Fish and Chip shop to choose from all those by the seafront! We will definitely visit again, maybe in the spring to see the bluebells in the Questling Wood.
