Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I visited this resort as it is close to home and I wanted to take the opportunity of a rare warm day to be naked in a wonderful natural environment.
Entrance during the spring is £12 (up to the end of May) and £15 during summer. Booking is done online where non members are vetted before being accepted.
You need to bring photo ID and proof of address when attending for the first time.
I didn't use the pool or sauna (use of both included in your entrance fee) as I'd just come to sunbathe naked in the sun on their lawns and read a book. I did take the opportunity to explore the woodland walk which is beautiful at this time of year with the bluebells in flower.
I had lunch at the restaurant (fish and chips for £7.50) and a drink at the outside bar (£3.50 for a pint of draught Hopical beer).
There was a mixture of couples and single males and females on the day I visited. As well as day visitors there is space for overnight campers on the adjoining fields and also in chalets.
If you wish to participate in sports, there are courts where you can play pétanque and pickleball.
The resort also holds themed events throughout the year.
The resort is clothing optional so you can bring your partner if they aren't naturists.
I would highly recommend this resort for naturists and non naturists.

This was my first time visiting a family naturist holiday site and have to say my 5 days visit was extremely superb and relaxing with lots going on for adults and children on the whole park, The complete park is secure so families can allow the children go out and take part in activities also go swimming and play in the children’s area.

Everyone on the park are so friendly and welcoming.

The park has an outside bar on the entertainment field also a bar, café, family entertainment venue within the pavilion, there’s also a beautiful indoor heated swimming pool with very clean updated inside changing, shower & toilet area.

The site itself is kept extremely clean and tidy with plenty of lawns to lay back and enjoy the sun and views.

If you’re looking for a great family friendly holiday environment for children etc then this is the place to go to relax while the children can play safely on a secured park.

I will be definitely be booking up for my next visits.

This is truly a safe family park with children to play.

Thank you for my fantastic holiday and see you very soon.

Visited the site for a day visit which coincided with their Jazz and Real ale festival.
It’s a large and expansive secluded site with camping grounds etc.
I started the day with a full English breakfast including coffee and toast for around £6.80.
They have a covered swimming pool and a shower block next to it with a sauna.
They have extensive gardens and lawn which after my swim. I planted myself near the outdoor Jazz stage. The young musicians were very good as was the lady and the pianist.
The beer in the real tent was £3.50 which was pretty reasonable.
Before my swim I took a walk around the wooded perimeter trail. Everyone I met was very friendly and sociable and made you feel at ease. I definitely will return for another visit.

On arrival it was difficult to enter the grounds.The first gate was not the correct entrance and the second gateway had no clear instructions on how to contact reception to gain access.It was very confusing and unsettling .
Once inside( we got through when a flurry of vehicles started arriving and exiting) and after a slightly frosty reception from the office however we were delighted with our accomodation which was a lovely cottage/hut set in beautiful green gardens.It was light ,airy and very welcoming.
I was initially worried because our toilet and shower were not in the cottage but my fears were soon aleviated as we had our own shower block which was spotless. The shower door was not water tight so we did spend a fair amount of time mopping up the water .The only other slightly discomforting aspect was that the door along the corridor was open ,leading to a big room so privacy was a little lacking.
The grounds here are beautiful and spotless.The swimming pool is very impressive.It is clean and warm.
Bathers are required to shower prior to swimming.There are communal showers near the pool but you need to have a supply of 20p pieces,for the hot water.having said this,i put in 60p after swimming and had ample time to shower and hair wash.
AS we were new we were required to wear green wristbands which we both found a little uncomfortable.It is never nice being singled out.
We also had to put stickers over our phones to ensure we took no photos.This was not a problem .
All the guests,day visitors,campers and caravaners here are wonderfully friendly and we soon felt at home.
It would have been helpful if there was a notice board with up to date activities.We felt a little left out when we noticed some group activities happening which we knew nothing about.
It was great to have lots of magazines on display full of information about naturism world wide.
There is a lovely cafe staffed by very friendly people and some very nice communal eating and lounging areas.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning.

We have just come back from a weekend at the NF in our motorhome. what a great place, love the pool and the tea pot cafe, and while the weather was not what we would have liked, the facilities made the stay very enjoyable. The staff were excellent on arrival and showed us to our pitch and explained where everything was. the All the toilet and shower blocks were clean and well maintained. The bar in the evening was well priced and well stocked, and everyone whether, seasonal pitch holders or visitors were friendly. The food in the cafe was of great quality and the staff could not do enough to make your visit pleasant. The field does have a very big slope so you will need large chocks or something else to accommodate this. 5amp electricity which was ample for us. The roads to access the site are very narrow, so follow the directions from their website, we did and our MH is 7.5m long and 2.3m wide and we made it ok, we enjoyed it so much we have already booked our next stay.

This is our second visit to the Naturist Foundation and we feel just at home as we did on our first visit. On this occasion, we discovered that the chalet has undergone a thorough modernisation and now has a new kitchen. The lounge and dining area has been totally redecorated and has a totally new, fresh and clean feel about it with much more space.

There are other new additions throughout the site but there are also some Covid related restrictions, which haven’t taken anything away from the friendly feel about it. The swimming pool is fresh, clean and any previous issues (as mentioned in a previous review) have been fully rectified.

Spent a night here camping and loved every minute. Me and the wife set up camp and I myself am a naturist but my wife is still unsure and nobody pressured here to strip off which was nice as people still stopped and spoke to us! Generally everybody would keep their distance unless you stopped and spoke to them so there was no intrusion of privacy. The meadow itself was decent enough and does slant in places but the toilet block and showers were immaculate and spotless!! All the staff were very friendly and the food was exquisite in the cafe!! All in all we can’t wait to go back and maybe my wife will strip off as it is completely different to other naturist experiences we’ve had

A beautiful retreat set in the countryside, just to the South East of London.
Clean swimming pool and showers, a part time sauna, friendly staff in the cafe and bar in the evenings.
Friendly people and plenty of green space and flowers. A serene, sacred environment.

Pls note Café is closed on Wednesdays.

In a word excellent - beautiful place to chill and be free with no one to bother you. People are friendly and welcoming. Swimming pool, showers and toilets all clean. Lovely woodland walks. Bar prices also very reasonable. This was my first time, and won’t be my last. Good mixture of people, from singles, couples and families with children.
