Fantastic

Just what a Caravan Club Site should be - friendly and relaxed. A site surrounded by mixed deciduous woodland where you can walk the dogs or walk through the woods to the Two Sawyers pub [10 minutes max]. 200 acres of Woodland Trust woodland opposite the site entrance and loads of other good walks. The wardens are very helpful and trolleys to empty the bins and pedestrian mowers. They are NOT policing the site or racing around on tractors like many other sites I could mention and they are NOT getting tape measures out to see how far off the peg you are. Other sites could learn a lot from these guys. We will be back.

Great site

This is a great site, small, very quiet and peaceful, be careful to follow the directory for directions or you will find yourself driving down a single track road with no passing places for 1.6 miles, we made the mistake!  Good bus service to Hastings, we had a great time, although one day and night it rained like never before, we got soaked to the skin on Hastings prom.  We will certainly visit again.

A little bit of paradise

We have stayed at this site many times, and was so surprised to read these comments about this lovely site.  It has obviously been written by someone that doesn't like children! To go to a site on a school half term and not expect to find children enjoying themselves, should perhaps rethink their options.  At least these children were out playing, and not glued to an iPad!

Half Term Spoilt Our Week

This could be a lovely site but if you are here with just one family with children watch out. There is nowhere for children to play and so if they have their bicycles with them they hurtle round the site roads and grass with no care for other members. If the children are noisy and shout a lot, it echoes around in the trees and you get no peace. A quiet, tranquil garden it most definitely isn't. It is not fair to involve the Warden every time, so parents - if your children get bored playing quietly, please take them to a site with play facilities - not here. The showers and toilets are fine, clean but out-dated and space in the showers is restricted. We will not be returning.

If carlsberg did caravan sites...

I've just spent four nights and wished I'd booked longer.  This is the kind of site that I've been searching for.  Peaceful, quiet, beautiful and so relaxing.  Getting to fairlight can have its moments and I would suggest that carfull planning is considered. Narrow roads and inconsiderate drivers in a rush can add to the grey hairs as the try to pass at breakneck speeds. Avoid morning, noon and evening rush hour times.  After entering watermill lave you start to wonder if you've taken the wrong turn, as it starts to narrow and you haven't seen the sites sign. Just as the sweat starts at the thought thT you may have to reverse back, you see the entrance to this uptopia of caravanning. There's plenty to see and visit locally, so you won't ever be bored here.

Excellent Site - Quiet and Peaceful

This was our third visit To Fairlight Wood, and we were very pleased to see the site has not changed. The facilities are excellent, with Serviced Pitches available (our preferred option), which makes for a very pleasant stay. The toilet and shower blocks are clean, well maintained, warm when the evenings and mornings are cold, and plenty of hot water in the shower. The surrounding area has much to offer with the site actually next door to a country park, in May the woods were full of beautiful bluebells, - I have never seen so many - they seemed to carpet the entire wood!.  There is loads around, with Hastings just a few miles away, Battle Abbey, Bodium Castle, Robertsbridge historic village, and a couple of vineyards are all within reach by car.  The Pett Levels are a short distance, and although not the prettiest beach (pebbles and little scenery) it is very peaceful, and a great place to sunbathe. There is a footpath from the back of the site through to the local pub, the Two Sawyers a lovely old pub serving excellent food, and a very friendly bar. The site itself is quite small, and is therefore very quiet and peaceful.  The wardens are very pleasant, friendly and helpful.  The TV reception can be flakey, a number of the aerial points could do with replacing - but the WiFi is top notch. Hastings itself has seen better days, but the old town is quite nice, and the shopping is OK. There is good access to local supermarkets, with Tesco Extra and the Co-op a c..  A word of warning, follow the directions in the CC book, if you take instructions from your SatNav, it will take you through some one track countrty roads, where there are limited passing places - not the best way to go with a caravan on the back.   We will be returning

Great site for a relaxing break

We stayed at this site in back in April. Great peaceful location. Fantastic local pub (2 Sawyers) just a quick stroll via a lovely bluebell wood or if wet take the lane route. Facilities very well kept. Just one note that the site is in a wooded area and if rainy some of the grassed areas can get a bit boggy. Overall a very nice spot to stay.

Lovely spot

Access was a bit tight, but worth it once we arrived. Very welcoming and helpful wardens, who assisted with a slight problem with our hook up. The blue bell woods were in full bloom and we enjoyed the walk to the Two Sawyers for lunch. Would visit again.

A peaceful haven

This is a lovely, small peaceful site.  We visited in April when there was a carpet of bluebells and anenomes surrounding the site and in the nearby wood.  Well situated for the coast and Fairlight, Rye, Hastings and Eastbourne not too far away.  Wardens were very pleasant and helpful.  A great pub within walking distance which was so friendly (and dog friendly) that it alone would make a revisit worthwhile.

Peace and quiet at Fairlight

What a fantastic site, so quiet and peaceful. It offers so many opportunities for exploring the local area around Hastings and Rye The Staff are so helpful and friendly. The site is very well maintained throughout. Guestling Wood is a great place for walking the dogs as you can just let them off the lead to run through the wood with no worries. The local pub provides excellent food and the local brew is to die for. We look forward to returning to this idyllic site again.
