Hopgarden Glamping

My recent trip to a campsite left me feeling very unhappy. The owner, a woman, was unfriendly and showed no respect to campers, not even bothering to introduce herself. We were chased out by her when the time came to leave, as if we were intruding on her land and she had all the authority to make her own rules. I would not recommend this place to anyone as it was unpleasant and uncomfortable.

This was one of the most disappointing trips of my life. My friend's birthday had been ruined and I am still recovering from the shock. We came to this camping site to celebrate my friend's birthday and to spend a quiet evening singing some songs, playing guitar and talking by the campfire. And all was good up until the time, when the host stormed at us at 11pm shouting that we were disturbing other guests. Mind you we were the only people in the field and the nearest tent was over 100 m away! And even if we were loud (which we weren't, we had checked and when you are at the other side of the field you cannot hear anything!), coming at us with rude language, shouting racist things and even at some point she went at my friend with the phrase "stop looking at me!". All of us were sitting there in shock as at no point there had been even a slightest opportunity to have a dialogue with the host. It seemed like she came at us purely to tell us off, shout at us and to humiliate. I have never experienced such an abuse. And at no point in my life will I ever come back to that field. This is not the way to treat your guests.

The host is extremely rude and unwelcoming, she made us feel extremely unsafe and basically spoiled our camping getaway. We have been camping with this host on 30 April. First, the lady appeared when we were quietly enjoying the evening by the campfire, playing guitar and singing, using abusive and racist language (some of the guests were from Eastern Europe) and claimed there was some payment issue and we were not allowed to sing after 22:30. The nearest neighbour was in about hundred meters and clearly the host was irritated with the guests for no apparent reason and not the noise, which was barely audible even from a small distance. Secondly, she appeared in the morning, threatening us in front of little kids (This is my land! Get away from my land!) The checkout time was at 11:00 and this happened at 11:10 when we were already clearly leaving the field. At some point we were thinking of calling the police, but decided to leave without any further argument as little kids were involved. Unfortunately, I was not the person who booked this camping via AirBnb and cant lodge a formal complaint through the service, but me and my friends felt that she ruined the camping night for us. Even though the place is picturesque, I cant recommend it to anyone, as such hosts should not be allowed to run the service.

Had an overnight stay on 15th April. Everything was exactly as specified online and more. Huts were pristine clean, very pretty and warm and cosy. Kellie thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. Location was lovely, safe and secure. Would 100% recommend and will be returning. Nearby activities: Local pub in Wadhurst..lively and delicious food. Bewley Water very close for a great walk. Lots of shops in Tunbridge
