Tanner Farm Park Reviews

Spacious, well kept site!

It is a very neat and spacious site, well maintained, staff friendly and helpful. We arrived late at 20:15 but there was no answer on the emergency number to advise them we were running late on the way down due to M25 issues, but when we rang another number on the site once we had arrived, this gentleman came out quickly and was very helpful. The lady in the shop was very helpful, but not sure it was necessary to remind me that I was half an hour overdue on leaving. Overall, excellent.

Thank you, sorry for the reminder about departure time, but we have to get the pitch ready for the next arrival. We hope to see you again.

Unfortunately, bad outweighed the good

Welcome was outstanding. Could not have been any better. The site was very big and plenty of space for the children to play. There is a small shop on site with the basics in. There are a couple of nice walks, but they are basically just around the edges of fields. The map in the information room is not very clear at all. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. There is no Wi-Fi and no phone signal, except at certain point on the site. There are only 2 toilet blocks with 4 toilets in each for the whole site. Not good at busy times. The toilets blocks were only "cleaned" once a day, if that. I think, even then it was only round the edges on the floor. There was a "bathroom" which was only open once in all the time we were there. It turned out to be an accessible shower (I think). There were dogs running loose everywhere and nobody monitoring the site to stop it happening. No security, except a barrier on entry. All in all, very disappointing.

Loved it here

Was our first time here, and only stayed 1 night to test out our new caravan. Very nice campsite and very well kept. Will definitely be going back there for longer next time.

Short break

Staff were very friendly on arrival. Toilets were nice and clean. Lots of squirrels, which was a lovely sight. Sign needs to be bigger, went past it twice.

Nice, clean site with huge pitches and close to Sissinghurst

Picked this campsite for its proximity to Sissinghurst. It's got generous pitches with space for a campervan and awning. Facilities are good, new and clean. It was pretty quiet and peaceful. Not a huge site, which we liked and the pitches were well-spaced out. Only issue was the poor phone signal and no WiFi available anywhere on site. This is the only reason we wouldn't come back as we really needed to stay in touch with home and work.

Tanner farm

Get location, nice and peaceful, very well maintained and the staff very pleasant and friendly. The only down fall is the phone signal. My phone is O2 and my husband was with Virgin and neither could make a call. My concern is what would be done in an emergency as shop/reception closed at 5pm. I think there should be a phone outside the shop for emergency calls.

Site's response

Thank you for your review and feedback. The team work hard to ensure the park is kept looking its best. In regard to the phone signal we are currently looking at having a new Wi-Fi system put in place so this should help with signals. We look forward to welcoming you back to site soon.

Brilliant Easter weekend

We had a fab time at Tanner Farm Park and will be back for certain!

Seeing the New Year in

I would recommend this park as a summer stay for senior people. As a winter stay, it was very hard going.

Excellent campsite

We were only able to stay one night, but will definitely be back. The pitches are a generous size and the location is great for walking. The facilities were very clean and well maintained.

Lovely place

Very friendly lady at reception when we arrived. Lovely surroundings. Great value for money.

I would definitely recommend this site

Lovely site, clean facilities and friendly staff. Will definitely go back again.

The grounds were nice and well kept

Be prepared for the toilet and shower block to be closed for over an hour around 9am - just when you want to shower to leave for the day! The grounds were nice and well kept. Everything was well signed and easy to access. It was quiet and peacefully. The whole stay was damped by the Tiley block being closed for cleaning for an hour at 9am. Checkout is 10.30am, so we packed up first then went to shower prior to leaving. We waited for over an hour and they were still closed and had to leave without being able to access the amenities that we paid for! This was the only facility we needed for the stay and it wasn't available. If we were made aware of cleaning times/delays in advance, we could have planned for it. As it turned out, we may have just stayed at a park up the road for the night and saved our money! Poor planning and communication on the parks side on this one!

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Justine, I would just like to address a couple of issues you raised. We have 2 toilet and shower facilities blocks onsite, when one block is closed for cleaning the other block is always open to enable guests to have access at all times. Both blocks are on the site map along with cleaning times and any further information required. I can also confirm that checkout is at 12pm. If guests require late checkout, they need to check with reception before 10:30am on the day of departure to ensure the pitch will be available. We are pleased you were happy with the site in general as the team work very hard to keep the site looking good.

Peaceful and quiet

This is a very clean and friendly site. Just right if you want a quiet and peaceful get away just to chill.

Afternoon Stephen, Thank you for the review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Great stay

Stayed here the night before our crossing to France. Great site, nice and quiet with good facilities. We arrived after the reception closed, but our info pack was easy to obtain and we found our pitch easily. Great facilities, very clean. Would stay again.

Good site

Enjoyed our 6th stay at Tanner Farm and had a great time. Shame the swing by the sand pit still only has 1 swing, and that's for the last 3 years. It would be great if Tanner Farm could eventually buy another one. Bigger shame is that groups with caravans and tents cannot camp together, although it seems management still allow the odd tent to pitch in the main field which is annoying. During our stay, the main field was virtually empty, first time in ages. Moan over, but still a good site.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. In regard to the comment about tents, we responded to your email straight away when you raised the issue to us about the tent being pitched in the wrong location. Unfortunately, the guest's were European with limited English and pitched in the wrong location late in the day. We have ordered a new swing but are still waiting on delivery as there is a back-log on supplies.. We are glad you still managed to enjoy your stay and look forward to seeing onsite again.

Great stay!

Stayed in a pod with my 12 year old son. We had a great time! Beds were comfy. No wifi or phone reception (WhatsApp messages got through periodically), which made for a very peaceful weekend in which I managed to read a book. There's a 3 mile walk from the site through apple orchards, fields and past two rope swings, which were great fun. We cooked on a trangia, there was good space to sit on the decking to the front of the pod, which was provided with table and chairs. Son went to children's play area and made friends there. We will return.

Weekend pod stay

Basic pod, as described, nice and cosy, nice location.

Site's response

Thank you, We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us

Beautifully played out site

A really lovely place! However, I was given a pitch right next to someone else which was not necessary as there were plenty of empty spaces with tons of room around them. My dog was stressed by the close proximity of other dogs.

Site's response

We are sorry that your dog was stressed during your stay, next time please pop into reception and the team will always try to accommodate and relocate where possible.

Nice place

Great facilities except for the shop, it could definitely do with more stuff to buy. They don't have many of the basics, only one type of bread that needed to be cooked.

Site's response

Thank you for the review, we do try to keep the small shop well stocked and cater for our gusts needs, bread always sell out straight away which is why we keep part baked in stock as an option, we also have fresh breads and pastries on Saturday's.

Pod at Tanner Farm Park

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a pod. Fantastic clean facilities and a peaceful location, just what we needed. Would recommend to others.

Thank you for the kind review, we do pride ourselves on the peaceful location and clean facilities

Wonderful site

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The site was clean and tidy, a bit muddy, but we'd had a lot of rain. The facilities were spotless, but the hand dryer could have been a little more powerful to actually dry your hands. We loved the layout of the site, no overcrowding (it wasn't busy anyway), the pitches were well spaced out, and there was lots of open space between. We would definitely come back. The automatic barrier was well thought out, and self check in meant we could stay safe re Covid. Pitches were easy to locate, the numbers were nice and clear, and the site map being sent to us in advance was gratefully received. Thank you for having us.
