Shear Barn Holiday Park

Alan Rogers Review of Shear Barn Holiday Park

If you wish to enjoy the lively town of Hastings with its pubs and amusements, then Shear Barn may well be for you. It is situated on top of a hill on the eastern edge of Hastings with attractive views over the bay and a wooded valley as you approach the park. There are two distinct areas and you arrive at the holiday home park first where you will find the reception. Further up the hill and through a barrier (card entry), you come to the touring section. This consists of open grass areas with around 150 pitches marked by stones. Some are reasonably flat, others sloping, and 100 have electrical connections with water points around. There are a number of recently introduced hardstanding pitches. There is a separate, large area for tents at the top of the park where a torch might be useful.

Close to the reception area is the Retreat Bar complex with a restaurant and amusement arcade upstairs and a pleasant bar area downstairs with real ale and entertainment in high season. Also here are a launderette, shop and a good children’s play area with seating for parents.
