The site was clean and looked after. The café had perfect breakfast, I went on a curry night and quiz night, it was a good night. The showers etc were all new, there were new hardstanding pitches for more motorhomes. I had a great time, will be back soon.

Checked the weather forecast and looked favourable, so I booked for 2 nights. What a beautiful place, huge pitch, lovely green grass and a brand new toilet/shower block. The ice cream parlour was a lovely café, it's even got a pub on site. Nearly forgot Rob the man on site, what a legend he really couldn't do enough for us.

This is the first time we have been to this campsite and we were very impressed with the facilities. Great to have a pub and a restaurant on site, also the shower facilities were always kept clean. The only thing that is missing is a small shop. Will definitely come back again and also recommend to our friends.

Three adult ladies, one 13 yr old teenager and two dogs in our group. We were greeted with smiles and lovely Amber when we arrived. Rob showed us to our pitch and gave us some tips on the local area. Lovely site with new shower and toilet block, new pub area and the delicious ice cream. What more could we need 😀 We will definitely be booking again next year.

A brilliant 2 night stay at Solley's! We arrived and were greeted and shown to the pitch by a friendly man who gave us opinions on things to do places to eat. The bathrooms were lovely and clean, all were ensuites which had toilet, shower and sinks in one cubicle, making things much easier. Located within the fields which had lovely views and a brilliant ice cream parlour, within which was great value for money. The pub was a great touch too which was good value for money! We definitely would stay again.

Great young, family friendly campsite. Ice cream parlour is a must and there's a pub onsite too. For the little ones, there's tractor rides and a maize maze. Shower, toilet and hand basin in individual shower rooms so no sharing needed. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean. The site was a little noisy the night we stayed as there were two parties going on, but it was still lovely and music finished at 9. Very friendly and welcoming staff upon arrival.

Great friendly site. Took our great grandchildren, they loved it. Only downcast was narrow lanes to get to site. Having motorhome made it quite difficult. Other than that, no complaints at all.

Hello Brenda Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad you had an enjoyable time with your Great Grandchildren and hope it made up for the narrow lanes! Hope to meet you again. Regards Stephen

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Outer Field)Aug 2024

We had a lovely stay. The pitch was bigger than we thought. Shower rooms were brand new, so lovely and clean. Pub was nicely decorated. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Ice cream parlour was great. Excellent choice of flavours, nice and clean and again, staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the added extras, the tractor ride and the Maize Maze. We were welcomed onto the site by Robin, who proved to be very helpful. Our car battery unfortunately drained. Robin and his wife went out of their way to help jumpstart our car. Only negative was when using the shower, the water would go all over the floor. The small glass screens are not long enough. Maybe a shower curtain would be useful as, after a while, the floor could get ruined.

Had a fab 3 night stay here. A good base for many places to visit. Awesome groundsman (didn't get his name), who couldn't do enough for you. Lovely to have an onsite pub, staff lovely in here too. Our only criticism is not enough showers and not so sure that combined loos and showers work. Could do with an indication from the outside that the loo/shower is in use, as people kept trying the door all the time. We didn't try the maize maze but it looked fun! We also didn't visit the onsite ice cream parlour but tried the ice cream elsewhere, delicious! 😁

Hello Rachel Thank you for your review. I'm glad you had a great stay with us and have taken note of your comments, thank you. Hope to see you again and hopefully you will have time to visit our ice cream parlor. Regards Stephen.

Excellent place to come and stay with a caravan / motorhome, or just camping. This is our favourite site in Kent this year! Well worthy of 5 stars.

Lovely site set in beautiful countryside

We have just come back from a great time, my 2 grandsons have enjoyed the freedom to ride their bikes and make lots of new friends. They enjoyed the tractor rides, the maze and delicious ice cream. It was very relaxing for us adults. We will definitely be going back.

Large A-class or Tag Axle Motorhome - Electric Grass Pitches (Top Field)Aug 2024

This is a lovely site and an ideal place to stay to explore the area or in our case, to catch Le Shuttle. The staff are lovely and very welcoming, and though we didn't get chance to sample the ice cream, their breakfast was very good. The only downside was their new ensuite toilet block, though spotless, they had problems with some of the doors not locking, hence the 4 stars but I'm sure they will soon have it sorted. Would definitely stay again.

A cracking little site located on the Kent countryside. Great staff, especially Rob, the groundsman, who takes care of the site and supports campers in locating their pitch. Added bonus is the on site pub with a real family feel to the place. You won't be disappointed I promise, we will for sure be returning soon.
