Black Barn Farm

The toilets and showers are fairly new. Peaceful.

On arrival parts of the site around the back of the café / shops look scruffy and unkempt. The grass pitches had long grass which had not been cut in my opinion for at least a couple of months.
The toilets and showers despite being fairly new, are not cleaned regularly. From my experience not even daily! There is excess limescale on the shower fittings. The washing up facility was outside under cover but we didn't use it as it was so dirty and didn't look like it had been cleaned for months if at all.
Signage on the site is non existent, you have to rummage around to find where the chemical waste goes and we never did find where the grey waste was supposed to go!
Although I contacted the owner prior to arrival, he said he would not see us on arrival as he had to go to Ipswich - we never did see him!
At £34 a night for mid November we felt this represented very poor value for money. At that price per night we certainly expected the facilities to be clean!

Lovely picturesque site. Peaceful and well kept. The cafe at the barn was amazing, food was delicious and owner very friendly. We have visited this site many times and love how the barn has been developed over the years .

Pitch size excellent
Wildlife
Farm shop and cafe (dog friendly)
Cleanliness
Good location

Between 01/10-01/02 the pheasant shoot season is live. Our dogs don’t like fireworks let alone gunshots so was a slight issue for us. However, this is not anything to do with Black Barn Farm as it was audible in other parts of the county.

The pitches are huge
Lovely cafe on site defo recommend
Toilet/shower facilities spotlessly cleaned
Quiet place to be

Lovely Peaceful sight, with a Farm shop, Shops and cafe to hand. Facilities are great and well looked after. You can enjoy a walk around in the evenings.

Spacious, level pitches separated by little hedges. Easy access to electricity and water. Wonderful market garden as part of campsite - perfect for dog walks! Toilets and showers beautifully clean. Very peaceful - fell asleep to the sounds of owls hooting and pheasants calling!!

Was pleased to see glass being recycled but would have loved to have seen cans, plastic and cardboard collections too

Excellent location, within easy reach of Norwich, the Broads and the coast. Easy to access site. Peaceful and quiet, sheltered by trees that protected us from the hurricane this week! Our dog loved running in the orchard. Huge, level grass pitches with EHU and water. Lovely hot showers - and a proper glass screen to keep your clothes dry! The Black Barn cafe and farm shop had only been open for a month when we stayed, and there are clearly plans for further development. Great to be able to get a coffee, breakfast, brunch etc.

The shower block was clean and tidy, but became a bit smelly sometimes. Possibly due to septic tank? The farm shop didn’t cater well for caravanners. For example, they only sold 4pt bottles of milk, which don’t fit in a caravan fridge. Possibly when the butchers shop opens there will be more of the ‘basics’ we need. WiFi worked for my husband but not for me. EE/Tesco have good coverage. Three, not so much.

The toilet and shower block were immaculate.

Each plot has its own water tap and EHU. Lovely farm shop and cafe open daily in the barn. Clean toilets and showers.
