We have mainline stations close by, either Staplehurst or Marden or Maidstone which are direct routes from London. We would however suggest that if you are coming by train you book a taxi to pick you up as they are not always available at the stations.
WHAT FACILITIES ARE OUTSIDE?
Outside every pod there is a picnic table, and a firepit/barbecue. There is also a wooden Gazebo which is for communal use together with THE BEAST, which is a wood oven/pizza oven. We have a petanque pitch, you have the boule in your pod, and a small adventure playground area, and plenty of space to run wild!
WHAT DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE?
The price you pay per pod per night includes, we hope, everything you will need with the exception of your food and clothes and maybe a few outdoor games. If you want to use THE BEAST then we ask that you buy the wood from us and also if you need additional wood for your firepit.
DO YOU PROVIDE TRAVEL COTS?
We do not supply travel cots, you are, however, able to fit one into the pod, if you have the sofa bed down as well it can be a little squished but it does work.
WHO CLEANS THE PODS?
We ask that guests leave their pod as clean and tidy as they find them. There are cleaning products in each pod and we would ask that you do your washing up before you leave. If you take on the whole site, we just ask that you put back the relevant coloured utensils to the correct pod and the outdoor area put back to how you found it. All rubbish should be taken to the bins that are provided in the car parking area.
CAN YOU PITCH TENTS?

CAN WE USE THE GAZEBO?
The Gazebo again is a communal space for all to use. It has curtains on the side so if the weather is not too good, then you can put them down. Anything that you bring from your pod to the gazebo we ask that you take back to the pod. The positioning of it is such that if the little ones are in bed, then you can see all the pods and baby monitors work there.
