Welcome to two jays farm
Bring your canoe; the norfolk broads are a 10-minute walk away or a short drive

  • Family-friendly farm, 20 minutes from Norwich and half hour from coast
  • Well-placed for watersports and boat trips on the Norfolk Broads
  • Dogs welcome; plenty of walking and cycling paths directly from site
Can’t decide between a bit of farm life, bright city lights and refreshing coastal explores? Ditch the dithering and pack the whole lot in to one stay at Two Jays Farm: this small, family-friendly farm is in Horstead, a 20-minute drive from Norwich and half an hour from Norfolk’s beaches. You’ll be in good company here – in the adjacent fields your neighbours will be the farm's resident horses, goats and chickens, and you're welcome to bring along a four-legged pal of your own if you've got a dog that fancies the trip. Canine companion or no, this is a fine spot for getting out for a walk. Set off on foot or cycle along woodland paths and riverbanks to take in sights like the Bure Valley Railway, Horstead Mill on the River Bure (where you can jump into the water for a wild swim if it's getting a tad warm) and pretty market towns along the way. If you fancy getting out on the water instead you can hire paddleboards and kayaks on site. Your reward at the end of a lengthy walk – perhaps a good feed at one of the nearby foodie pubs? The nearest is less than 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and there are a few more to choose from – along with some takeaways and a supermarket – in nearby Coltishall village, which is a 20-minute walk away (or a few minutes’ drive).

What customers say

Guests praised the friendly, helpful owners and the idyllic, relaxed atmosphere at this campsite. Highlights included the numerous animals, clean facilities (showers and toilets), and well-laid-out, spacious pitches. The on-site honesty shop and kayak/paddleboard hire were also popular. Some noted the proximity to a main road and a desire for more toilet and shower facilities during busy periods. Despite minor criticisms, many reviewers expressed a strong desire to return.

Liked Nice friendly site, liked you can pitch where you like. Loved the Alpacas and closeness to the river.

Disliked A bit close to the road with some traffic noise, however not enough to keep me awake and I got used to it.

Poppy non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Friendly owners. Nice facilities, and clean too. Everything worked! Very convenient for access to the river Bure for wild swimming, paddleboarding and boats. Plenty of space for all pitches and for kids to play. There are fields with alpacas, horses etc. too.
The showers have lights in but the loos don't so bring a headtorch for visits after dark! Convenient for attractive local villages, nature walks etc.

Disliked Nothing

Disliked The traffic noise was a little loud but ear buds helped

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the location and the animals, it wasn't over crowded

Disliked There were only two showers and 4 toilets and they were cleaned once a day, not enough toilet rolls, one sink only to wash dishes. No washing machine, charging facilities etc so quite basic so find it a bit over priced

Local attractions

Being right on the Norfolk Broads, Two Jays is well-placed for a range of water activities – you can go fishing, sailing, or rent kayaks and canoes for adventures on the water… or leave the navigating up to someone else and opt for a boat trip instead. For activities on dry land, visit BeWILDerwood (10-minute drive), a forest park full of trails, treehouses, bridges, zipwires and slides. There’s more action at leisure and shopping complex Wroxham Barns (10 minutes), where there’s a kids' farm and funfair alongside boutiques, craft studios and eateries. If you’re heading to the coast, combine beach days with some animal spotting; there’s a zoo in Cromer (half an hour) and a SEA LIFE Centre at Great Yarmouth (40 minutes). There’s a bunch of parks nearby if you’re looking for big open spaces for pleasant ambles, picnics, and kids’ play areas. Try Waterloo Park (15 minutes), Catton Park (15 minutes), Earlham Park (half an hour) or Eaton Park (half an hour). For a bit of culture, visit the impressive Blickling Estate (15 minutes) and Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (25 minutes). Or combine a trip to Norwich (20 minutes) with a look at the cathedral and Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery.
