"Beds are really not comfy, quite a letdown overall."
Alex - Mar 2025
"The lodge was lovely overall, but a closer look showed some sofas and chairs could really do with a good deep clean. Still enjoyed it though!"
Emma - Nov 2024
"We had a lovely half-term stay at Shearbarn. The location was perfect for exploring Hastings and soaking up all the history-it really made our trip special!"
Emma - Nov 2024
"This place is super tidy and has everything we needed for a lovely break."

"Our Shear Barn Holiday Park review: The accommodation was really lovely, especially the stunning sea views. The hot tub was a real treat! The site was spotless and kept very tidy. Staff were genuinely warm and friendly - made us feel at home. Everything was top-notch, honestly. Would definitely come back!"
Emma - Sep 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The place was super comfortable and spacious, with all the little touches like towels, dressing gowns and even shampoo and soap, which was thoughtful. The kitchen had everything we needed, from fridge to dishwasher and the hot tub was nicely tucked away for privacy. Definitely a great spot for a relaxing break!"

"Our stay at Glenside 19 Superior was quite enjoyable overall. The photos online made it look newer than it actually was, but honestly, it didnt really matter too much since the lodge was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully designed. Shearbarn park was super peaceful, which we loved and we took full advantage of all the facilities, including a free swim at the complex just by showing our key fob. We booked from Monday to Friday during the summer holidays and it was perfect timing. The view from the van was stunning and we spent loads of time just relaxing on the balcony. Hastings is really close by too, just a quick 6-minute drive and park. Our children had a fantastic holiday, so thank you! Would definitely stay again in the same lodge and wed recommend it to others."

"We had a lovely stay in this caravan! Its in a great spot on the site, with a bit of a sea view which was lovely to wake up to. The place was spotlessly clean and had a good-sized living area along with decent kitchen facilities. The iron and ironing board were a nice touch. The only downer was the super soft main bed and the single beds are quite small - perfect for under ten-year-olds. Overall, a really nice holiday on a beautiful site!"
Emma - Aug 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge was lovely, super clean and the extras like dressing gowns made it feel extra special. Would definitely come back!"
Emma Clarke - Aug 2024

Emma Carter - Jun 2024
"Comfortable and well-equipped caravan, really enjoyed our stay there."
Emma Clarke - May 2024
"We had a lovely stay and the reception team really made us feel welcome. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed, though a few extra mugs and glasses would have been handy for a larger group. Lakeside 4 was perfect - fantastic sea views from the deck and a private hot tub. Definitely recommend!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"We stayed at Lakeview 2 after being moved from Ocean View because of decking problems. Honestly, we loved the lodge-spotless, comfy and just perfect for our stay. Would definitely go back!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"We really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay. The location was perfect, with stunning views of the sea and Hastings from different windows - honestly, it was lovely. The only letdown was receiving a call after booking to say the pool and restaurant werent open. Still, wed definitely come back when everythings up and running again!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"We had a great stay in the lodge again. The views are stunning and staff really are friendly and helpful. Cant wait to return in summer!"
Emma Carter - Jan 2024
"We had a really lovely time! The lodge was spotlessly clean and super cosy, with everything we needed. The towels were a proper treat-big and fluffy, which was a nice surprise. Would definitely come back!"
Emma - Jan 2024
"We had an absolutely lovely stay! The staff were genuinely wonderful, especially when we needed an extra table and chairs for Christmas dinner. The reception team sorted it out quickly and without any hassle, which was much appreciated. The van was spotless and very comfortable, with nice beds that made us feel at home. Though, I do think a 'superior' van should have an en suite bathroom and if there's a power and aerial socket in the bedroom, a TV would be a nice touch to really call it top of the range. But honestly, these were just minor niggles and didnt affect our overall experience. Were already excited about returning in 2024. Great job, team! Looking forward to it!"
Emily and James - Dec 2023
"The place was spotless, really thoughtfully designed and super easy to get around. We loved it!"
Alex - Dec 2023
"We really enjoyed our stay. The place was spotless and the view from the terrace was lovely, especially in the morning. A small shelf in the bathroom for toiletries wouldve been handy, but its a common issue in tiny caravans. Overall, a great short getaway - definitely recommend!"
Emma - Dec 2023
"We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless and in a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. Close enough to walk to town and the beach. Definitely recommending it and planning to return soon."
Emma Parker - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed the stay, lovely views too!"
Emma - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge had all we needed and then some. The peaceful setting and friendly staff made it perfect."
James - Nov 2023
"We tried to get some info, but it was all wrong - the places closed! When we called, the staff didnt seem bothered and just told us to ring later. They really should update their info packs. Not impressed at all, honestly."
Emma Carter - Nov 2023
"We stayed in a super clean caravan and the price was pretty decent. The only hiccup was the gas oven-couldnt quite figure it out, but thats probably on us. Still, a great place Id recommend!"
Sam - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed staying here, the view was just lovely."
Emma - Nov 2023
"Weve stayed in lodges before and, honestly, its hit or miss. This time, we found a few areas that needed a bit more attention - some details were overlooked, which was a bit disappointing considering the price tag. We contacted Hoseasons and they handled it pretty swiftly, which we appreciated. The park itself is lovely and were actually looking forward to coming back next year, especially since theyre upgrading the lodge for us at no extra cost - and with a 30% refund to boot! We just hope the standards stay high and theres less to complain about next time. Overall, not perfect but definitely promising for the future!"
Emma Johnson - Nov 2023
"A perfect spot for peaceful getaways."
James - Nov 2023
"Really enjoyed our stay, staff were welcoming, lodge was beautiful!"
Emma Carter - Nov 2023
"We love Hastings and Shear Barn is a perfect base to explore the area. If you're walking be prepared for "the hill"..."
Julie - Jul 2022
"Lovely stay, lodge very nice and well equipped, decking area a little tired and some parts broken
Beautiful views and surrounding beaches ideal for dogs"
Louise - Jul 2022
"Lovely lodge with great scenery. Nice and quiet."
Matthew - Jul 2022
"Firstly it was fantastic weather which always helps the holiday. The view of the sea and the fern glens were great. The Lodge was clean and comfortable. It is about a mile and half to Hastings sea front, which is downhill on the way in, but a bit of a climb coming back for older people like us, so we tended to get a taxi back (about £6:50, so pretty much the same as for parking). And if you are people who enjoy walking it is a wonderful area. There is not a great deal onsite in regard to entertainment, a bar, a restaurant and a small swimming pool, so if you are people who want a lot of onsite entertainment this is probably not the site for you. We greatly enjoyed it though, very friendly, and we found plenty to do in and around Hastings."
Angela - Jul 2022
"Lovely quiet place. The park itself is spotless and well maintained."
Tracie - Jul 2022
"Gorgeous lodge, lovely, quiet,well looked after site. Small shop could be better stocked,the only downside. Pool was good, staff in reception really helpful when asked for directions locally to the town and walk around Hastings park. Had a lovely week and would definitely recommend."
Sarah - Jul 2022
"Very nice quiet park we stayed in glen side with a hottub would definitely come again"

Lisa - Jul 2022
"Lodge lovely ? on site facilities pool very small bar area just ok"
Mark - Jul 2022
"Easy Check-in; Clear Directions to Lodge; Clean Comfortable and Well-equipped Accommodation; Quiet Cliff-top Site; Good Site Facilities; Well-maintained Pool; Easy Access to Coast Path and Country Park for Short or Long Walks to East or West to Hastings and beyond; Quick Maintenance Response to Minor Plumbing Issue; Easy Check-out. Walk into Hastings or other beaches requires negotiation of steep slopes and/or steps (or the use of the cliff railway into Hastings); All Staff were Helpful and Efficient. We had a Really Relaxing Break and enjoyed the local area, site facilities, and particularly the easy access to coastal paths for walking."
Phil - Jul 2022
"Really nice peaceful place in a nice location with lots of wildlife.
The guy in reception was very happy and helpful which is a nice greeting after a long drive."
