Peaceful, relaxing site

Following a very warm welcome from Mrs Knowles, we were directed to the field and could pitch wherever we liked. We chose this site as we were visiting friends and family in East Grinstead, Forest Row and Haywards Heath so the location was ideal. It is very peaceful and relaxing with excellent walks in lovely countryside from site with a multitude of footpaths criss crossing the local area. As a previous review said, once you leave the main road the road to Burstye Farm is a bit unyielding but it would not put us off returning. A definite 'get away from it all' site.

A peaceful haven for a couple of very hot nights

I Stayed here on the nights of the 18th and 19th July when the temperatures reached over 40 in my motorhome. There is a bit of an unyielding road up from the B2028 but I may have felt it worse because my van is quite light at the back and tends to spring over bumps! The site directions are spot on and Ann Knowles was very welcoming and told me where everything was. The site has basic services of water, sewage disposal and a clean toilet and once in the field you are free to park where you like. It is a fairly large field with plenty of room but does have a slop with flattish areas both at the bottom and the top. I used my ramps with no problem. I have a well behaved dog who was welcomed and, as there was only one other part-time camper, she was free to roam. I did pick up after her and the site was clean of others too. The joy about this campsite at this particular time was the line of very tall oak trees to the south of the site. I was able to park along side these and take cover under their shade. There are many footpaths leading from and around the site and, although I didn't because of the heat, it would be easily possible to walk to Ardingly Reservoir. I chose to walk in the local woodland at 5am! There are plenty of supermarkets and pubs around within easy access. In all a really peaceful site, situated and presented very well indeed. Thank you Ann. Sue & Tenby

Top Notch weekend in mid-Sussex!

Warm friendly welcome from the owner Mrs Knowles who was very helpful regarding walking and cycling in the area. Lovely peaceful site, we woke to faint sound of Church bells in the distance on Sunday morning which was nice and walked the permissive path that Mrs Knowles had shown us on the map. The B-road is busy with fast traffic but there are good pubs in either direction, either Ardingly or Lindfield. This site has a toilet and recycling bin, no other fancy facilities, just countryside, rare-breed sheep and relaxation. Really enjoyed our stay and plan to go back. The Bluebell railway is a short drive and worth visiting.

Peaceful site

Lovely welcome from Mrs Knowles gave us all the information we needed and there was maps and leaflets. Had a lovely walk across the fields to Lindfield, a preety village, we also visited Wakehurst gardens which was only 10mins drive away. Lots more walks around the area if we had more time. Saw a green woodpecker at the site and nice to see the soya sheep, £10 a night for a lovely peaceful site

A functional basic CL

We stayed at this CL for 4 nights end of August we found it to be functional basic CL. It was ideal for us as we are walkers and a public footpath run right past the CL entrance so you can walk from site. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who gave us site info. The CL is slightly sloping grass field the grass was quit long on our visit but it did not bother us as it looks like the grass cuttings are not collected when cut so we did not tread much into van on this occasion. The road up the CL is quite narrow but is fairly straight and little used. I would advise owners of larger T/A's to pull up on farmhouse forecourt well to the right as its quite a sharp turn into the CL gate on the left. We enjoyed our stay here and cant complain about it in anyway there are plenty of thing to do and see in the area. This is a basic old fashioned CL with no hook ups but it has a basic clean WC if required.

Burstye Farm Lindfield.

An unpretentious Cl with pleasant views and all the basic requirements. We were met by and recieved a warm welcome from the owner Mr Knowles. Just a short distance away is the charming village of Lindfield complete with duck pond, a good selection of traditional shops and dining houses. Close by is the magnificent river Ouse viaduct, Ardingly reservoir and The Bluebell Railway all well worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Burstye Farm and will doubtless return
