Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesOct 2024

Hardstanding was good and level. it was a shame there had been so much heavy rain as it made access to and from the facilities a very muddy walk. Maybe a hard roadway to give better access for future consideration. The pub is really only a 5 minute walk and was very pleasant with good food. The site was good for us to do the things that we wanted in our short break.

Really relaxing stay

We chose the Bucket & Spade, initially as we wanted an affordable base close to Chichester. All others we found online were closed or really expensive. This is quite a simple site but the positives for this site are it's great position and bus stop within yards. We got bus so easily to Chichester. Big showers. Hard standing pitches (although you do have to cross a bit of field/grass to get to them). Pub within a minute's walk. Esso garage and Londis shop within minutes. Lots of footpaths. Beautiful quaint 13 century church to visit. It was quiet. We saw deer and squirrels. Really met our needs.

Wonderful

I really enjoyed our stay, the campsite had good sized plots, for our camper van. The campsite was well kept, the facilities where very clean, they had hot water every morning for a shower and recycling of refuse available.

Small but well maintained site

A small site but in an ideal location between Chichester and Selsey. Facilities are spotless though, with only one washing up sink. This was however not an issue when we stayed late September. Peter, the owner, is exceptional. He gave us a very friendly welcome and lots of invaluable advice about the local area, particularly cycle routes. Highly recommend!

Set in a lovely part of the world. This was a well kept site with very clean toilet and shower facilities. It was quiet and with a short walk to a pub - which is one of our main search criteria!

Great site just 10 minutes drive from Chichester. Toilet & shower block looked new. Nice quiet site, apart from a bit of road noise, definitely one to go back to.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches (Caravan and Motorhome Club Members)Aug 2024

The site is in a lovely village, close to the Wittering beaches, Pagham and Selsey. There is plenty to do in the local area. The Anchor, which is a short walk away, does reasonable food. The Crab and Lobster, which is also close by,does amazing food. The site is quite small but the caravan pitches are spacious. There is one washing up space and three bathrooms, two with a shower. Although limited, we did not ever have any problems accessing the facilities. There are also some glamping pods which all looked very good. My sister stayed in the lodge which easily fit her family. The site was very handy as it allowed us to use our caravan and my sister could glamp. The only downside was the road just by the site. I had seen references to this in other reviews but decided to book anyway. The road is unbelievably busy and seemed to have traffic all night, even though it is a B road. When we were, one of the drains was loose and clanged and clanged as cars went over it. Not the site's fault at all and was a real shame, because everything else was great.

Lovely small site - very clean

Shepherd's Hut - Delilah Shepherd's Hut (Pet Free)Aug 2024

We had a fabulous few days at Bucket and Spade. It is on the bus route from Chichester to Selsley and close to the Witterings with a lovely view of sunflower fields. We stayed in Delilah and she was gorgeous and had space under the bed to pack your bags away, cutlery, crockery, washing up equipment and towels. The shower was good. Everything was very clean. Our friends stayed in Woodie, so we had use of the decking and BBQ. I think Delilah was supposed to have a BBQ but there was only one between the two huts. I would recommend being organized on the food front as the local pub (The Anchor) was not great and there is limited food stores nearby. I would definitely stay there again.

Great location and immaculate washrooms

Site communication was easy and we were given entry details by email just prior to arrival. Pitches are spaced well apart in this lovely small site. The bathrooms have been recently refurbished and are gorgeous, well appointed and very clean. There is a footpath along the back of the site which was great for dog walking and also takes you to The Anchor pub 5 minutes away, which did wonderful food. There's also a frequent bus into Chichester or Selsey which stops by the pub. My only criticism is just the one washing up sink which I had to wait for once during our 3-day stay. Overall, simply a wonderful site which I would happily use again.

Lovely site

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesJul 2024

Smallish site but had facilities. However found that only one washing up sink meant that we spent time waiting for others. At least two would be a recommendation. Three toilets but two of these were also showering facilities. No separate men and women. Water temperature in shower was 'hot' but no adjustment to lower. Personally, I found them uncomfortably hot as I had to shower on my knees to alleviate this. Nothing here for young children to do. A mile or so down the road was Sidlesham Memorial Recreation Ground which was great for the toddler. Too far to walk to if children are young! Overall an ok over-nighter

Very good location, quiet and relaxed atmosphere, clean facilities, good public footpaths, 2 very nice pubs in easy walking distance. Thoroughly recommend this site. Very much enjoyed our 4 day break (and so did the dogs). Should have booked for longer. Will definitely be back.

A great stay

Please don't let the the name of "Bucket and Spade" put you off. There are no screaming kids 😀 Stayed for 2 nights in a VW campervan. Facilities excellent and very clean. Previous comments have mentioned about road noise, we were close to the road and to be honest, the only noisy aspect was the "dawn chorus" from the local bird community. Great pub just 5 mins down the road that is very dog friendly. We will definitely make a return visit.

The site is nicely central on the Selsey Peninsula, although on a busy road. The pub and garage/24hr shop are very close, less than 5 minutes to each. From the grass pitches, which are furthest from the road, there is a view over fields, and a short footpath for essential dog walks.

Lovely place. Clean, tidy and relaxing. 2 minutes from the Anchor Inn and buses run outside the pub. Could do with a secure dog run and maybe a washing machine, but a lovely place to stay.

Peaceful

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesMay 2024

This is a lovely site with lovely, helpful owners. There are a lot of places to visit in the area. We had a nice hardstanding with water available on the pitch. The pitch had a hedge one side and a tree the other side so felt private. The only downside is the proximity of a busy B road but in the caravan, noise was not a problem. There is a nice pub - The Anchor 5 minutes walk up the road, which served excellent food.
