Chillaxing break

A small quiet site tucked away in woodlands run and maintained by very friendly and welcoming wardens. The toilet/shower facilities were spotless at all times and the whole site maintained to a very high standard. If you need to take a quiet/relaxing break it'll tick all your boxes. 10minute walk to the village of Pett with two pubs serving food. A good base camp to go visiting the East Sussex/Kent area.

Perfect in every way

We had visited this site before although that was over 25 years ago but having just returned to Caravaning we made this site our first trip with our (New to us caravan) and two Border collies. This site is a must for Dog owners, there is direct access to the woods from the site which also has a marked path to the local pub & restaurant which is Dog friendly. Opposite the site entrance is another Woodland to walk your Dog's as well. The showers etc are spotless and the Warders are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet. If your looking for somewhere to use as a base to explore Sussex and are taking your pets you won't be disappointed.

A Relaxing,get away from it all break!

Run by the friendly,welcoming and approachable site owners Clive and Margaret, this site really is a joy to stay on. Tucked away down a narrow lane surrounded by woodland,you are wrapped in an oasis of peace and quiet. The site shop offers cards and gifts for your family as well as the normal groceries. As the last reviewer mentioned it's a great place to stay and our dogs loved every moment staying here. The toilet block is very modern and clean and the grounds are well kept. The site is well situated and not far from Rye,Hastings and other places. Pett Level Beach is a nice walk from the site. I will not hesitate recommending this peaceful and worthwhile site and would stay here again.

Still a great place

This is my second weekend spent here and I can confirm that it's one of the best ones for relaxing. As soon as you pull on site you are greated with a friendly smile and a very warm welcome. Some hotels out there should take a look how well this site is run. The staff are faultless in my book.  As a base for walking and exploring its ideal, I have sore feet to prove it!  The only distraction in this peace haven, was the sound of children playing behind and inbetween some of the caravans, (funnily, it wasn't around their own ones) , but it was the start of the school holidays. And I do believe in the saying that "children play and dogs bark"! So not a real problem.

An Oassis of peace and quiet

I stayed on this site from the 11th to 17th of Oct. I have to disagree with the previous review about the serviced pitches being too close, having been a caravaner for 46 years perhaps I appreciate the modern club sites more than the more recent members. I stayed on a serviced pitch and found them amply big enough, the site was tranquil and peaceful. Even the warden did not wake us up clearing bins in his noisy tractor, he has a silent hand cart. The village pub 10 min from the site serves almost gourmet food and quality real ale. The toilets were the warmest I have ever used, lovely on an October morning and spotlessly clean, the wardens always had time to speak with the guests and keep the site immaculate. We found plenty to visit and were able to attend the 950th Anniversary of the battle of Hastings well performed by approx. 2000 re-enactors. I sometimes wonder if people with Motorhomes, having spent so much money on buying them have expectations that are unrealistic (no offense intended) I will be back in the spring.

some pitches too close

have just returned from this excellant site but having paid for a fully serviced pitch no 23 i did find that when 22 and 25 were occupied they were too close for comfort and spoilt our last day on the site. I think these pitches should be reviewed and i would remove pitch 26 completly and pitch 22 does not allow you to comply with the club standard of having your car parked on the offside of the caravan nor does 25.

can do

Peace and quiet

Having been to this site several times it, as always, did not disappoint. Fairlight Wood is a lovely little site in a very quiet location. Being small it is ideal for those of us who want some peace and quiet rather than what might be found on larger sites. The only downside to our weekend (14-16 Oct) was the rain, other than that it was perfect. The wardens were very helpful as we had need of a socket set to fix our VW windscreen wipers and they readily obliged so thank you. We will be back.

a regular haunt

We have visited this site a number of times because of the location near Hastings & Rye. Some improvements which could be made - signage at the turning, a small white sign has appeared but could easily be missed. WiFi is terrible - I got up at 6am to order something online and it took me an hour and a half. This is bizarre. We plug our TV in with a long aerial lead which is OK. Showers are closed at 10.30am - we are on HOLIDAY, mid afternoon would be more sensible. When the showers are replaced please consider handheld showerheads which are much more user friendly. There is only one of this type in the ladies showers. When we visited, the site was probably only half full at best which was nice. The trees can be very oppressive if you have to have a pitch in deep gloom which is sometimes the case. If you are in Hastings try The Crown which is in the old part, really good food (not too many chips) and a great atmosphere. In spite of my whinges we will come back here as I love old Hastings which has improved greatly in the last five years or so - some interesting shops.

Good site for dogs

Stayed at Fairlight for a long weekend.  The site is well kept.  The woods around the site are great for dogs and there is also dog friendly beaches close by at Pett Level.  The site is quite but there are pubs and shops reasonably close by.  The only downside is there is not the usual caravan club signs to direct to the site.
