A very peaceful break

We recently enjoyed a great four day break at Fairlight Wood. This was our first visit and our abiding memory is one of peace and quiet. The site is set amongst some great woodland. We also appreciated the friendliness, and helpfulness of the wardens which made for a very relaxed stay. We ate at the local pub "The Two Sawyers", which was a short walk away and enjoyed the atmosphere and food there. Booking is essential during busy periods. We spent our time walking along the coast, mainly using the Saxon Shore way and were very impressed by the Hastings Country Park. It is a relatively small site and we thought it might be difficult to keep children (teenagers) amused hence our low score on good for families. We will certainly be back.

Great stay

We spent 2 nights here. Lovely site, great for the dog with lots of local wooded walks. No park for the kids which is a bit of a shame but we spent the days out anyway so no issues. Quiet peaceful site

Wooded Peace

We stayed with two grandchildren for a week and found the site heavily wooded, quiet and spotless. All but two pitches are hard standing. The children though were less well pleased, no play area and unusually no other children of similar ages. Now this may suit many but it left our two somewhat disappointed especially as this was peak season summer holiday time. Having said that we found plenty to entertain them nearby and had good days out at Bodiam Castle and Camber Sands. The nearest beaches at Pett Level and Winchelsea are pebble at high tide but exposing massive sand areas and rock pools at low tide, a real enjoyment. for the children. We loved the site and will return without the children just to explore the lovely woodland and amazing views that are on offer all around.

We love this site

We visit this site many times and is one of our favourites. Paul & Marie (wardens) are the friendliest of all. Yes, some pitches are shaded and non-awning pitches a squeeze if u have a large van. Great for our dogs, great for us with pub selling our favourite beer. Royal Oak pub, up road but a drive away, also very good. Seaside, Romney Marsh, all a stones throw away. I have never left a review before but feel that I must now.

Loved this site

We stayed here for 7 nights and really loved it. Facilities great and the wardens are really friendly and go out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. Some of the pitches can be rather shady as under trees but others are out in the open. We asked if there was a sunny pitch available when we arrived and we were directed to one which was perfect for us. Plenty of local walks as well as others at the Country park a couple of miles away, with Rye, Hastings and Battle also close by. Great to be able to walk to the Two Sawyers Pub for a bite to eat on the evening of our last night there. There is a butcher in the village who also sells rolls, eggs, papers etc. Up there as one of my favourite sites.

Relaxation

Having just spent a week at Fairlight , we returned home feeling relaxed and ready to face day to day chores again.The site itself is secluded and close to nature surrounded by woodland, many good forest walks available for dogs.Staff very friendly and helpful, could not wish for a better site for a rest .will be returning,The sight is well situated for family trips to the seaside but onsite not a lot for children to do , except explore,

Woodland Delight

This is a very secluded woodland site which makes it very peaceful.Some pitches are shaded so it is worth veiwing all available pitches before setting up.Facilities are up to normal CC standards and wardens excellent.Bring walking boots for woodland trails opposite site entrance,and excellent country pub the other direction through woods (follow the white hoops painted on trees!)Pett village is worth a stroll around and Pett levels uncomercialised.There is of course all seaside attractions in Hastings

Quiet Isolation

I like peace and quiet but this lovely site was a step too far for me. Tucked well into the forest the site is peaceful and shady. I'm dependent on a sat dish for TV and not surprisingly could not get a signal. There is a limited bus service in the local village. Lovely walk to the village pub which served very good food. If like me you are a motorhome user without a car you might find this site a bit isolated.

A great site - highly recommended

We stayed at this site for 6 nights, I wish it could have been longer. The site is quite small which was lovely, much nicer than staying in the larger sites. It was completely full during our stay which didn't surprise me as it was a lovely place. The site is in between some woods, only a few pitches got sun all day, our pitch was in the shade for the majority of the day (Pitch 30) but that didn't bother us. We were right on the edge of the wood which the dog loved. Our pitch was flat but some others weren't and levellers were needed. The facilities were kept clean and well maintained. The wardens were really nice and friendly and took pride in their site (Thank you!) There are plenty places to visit in the area, too many for our short stay so we will be back. Take a 5 minute walk through the wood and you come to the village of Pett where there is a lovely pub, The Two Sawyers. It serves real ale and food. Worth a visit. There isn't much to do for kids unless they can easily occupy themselves. Definitely one of the nicer sites we have stayed on, and one we will be returning to.
