This was our second visit and we love the peace, tranquility and natural surroundings. My children climb the trees and forage in the woods, no need for a play area, they can lose hours in the wild.
I love the fact I can watch while they play, while relaxing in beautiful peaceful surroundings. Toilets are clean and well kept. Nicely situated for Hastings, Battle and loads of more interesting places to visit.
Nice location surrounded by woods,we stayed during the recent hurricane Katie incident and found although it was very windy the site proved to be nicely sheltered by the trees and no-one on site suffered any damage.Very friendly wardens and clean toilets etc;would recommend this site.The only gripe is that it could do with a signpost at the bottom of watermill lane and on the A259.
We spent four days before Easter on this lovely site. So peaceful. Surrounded by woodland; a haven for wildlife - we woke each morning to the sound of woodpeckers. A 10 minute walk to the friendly Two Sawyers pub and to the bus stop for the bus into Hastings (the Pett Post Office shown on OS map is now closed so make sure you have cash for the bus fare as no cash machine).
We have been to this site on a number of occasions and as usual a great time was had by us both, even though storm Katie came for a visit.
We stayed for a long weekend as it was my birthday, friends came to stay overnight. We went for a meal at the Two Sawyers. Good food great company, highly recommended. The wardens were amazing and very thoughtful, facilities amazingly clean. No wonder it is a fully booked site. I wish it wasn't so nice, I wouldn't be compelled to do a review so that the site is always full. Please reopen this site all year.
Just spent Easter weekend on site, friendly helpful wardens, clean and tidy site and facilities. The only thing missing were site markers at end of Friars Hill and Watermill Lane.
We have just got back from a long Easter weekend at Fairlight Wood and wonder how we have missed visiting before now.
The site is small and friendly, spotlessly clean and well maintained. The wardens (new this year, I understand) are such a great credit to the club and could not have been friendlier or more helpful.
No play area at this site, but plenty to see and do both within walking distance and further afield from the site.
We are planning a return very soon
We have just stayed here over the Easter weekend and what a lovely site . The wardens where exceptional as is the site.Very clean facility's . Walks in the woods was great especially if you like wildlife , not forgetting the walk to the pub , the only down side to the weekend was the gale force winds of Sunday night . We will be back next Easter
The site is only 20 miles from our present home but we have enjoyed the many visits we have made. In 2014 my wife had an unsuccessful knee operation and still has great difficulty walking. The excellent disabled suite is just what she needs. The peaceful, beautifully managed site provides an excellent relaxing break.
This is the site all small sites should be judged by.
We shall be back|
This site was our first ever overnighter (Mar 2016) in our MH. It was such a good experience that we booked a further night. The wardens are friendly and helpful and the facilities very clean. Easy dog walking adjacent, and Hastings available by public transport or shanks pony if you prefer. We will return for sure, once there are a few leaves on the trees. The Royal Oak 10 - 15 mins East on Pett Rd are dog friendly, good food and host some interesting ales. Maybe not a site for small children however, unless they are particularly happy in making their own fun in the woods.
We arrived on the opening day of 2016 and spent 3 nights. The site is quiet and pitches open onto woodland. The wardens were very helpful and pleasant. We had 2 different walks from the site, a one hour and a whole day. Both lovely. A meal in the local pub 'Two Sawyers' was excellent -really friendly family run outfit. The Hastings Country Park which you can walk to also has a good tea room.
