  • Peaceful two-acre field a 10-minute walk from Stanton village, Suffolk
  • Bury St Edmunds 20 minutes’ drive; Lowestoft beach one hour
  • Dogs welcome; excellent stargazing; a five-minute drive from a winery
Bromptons Farm, on the edge of the village of Stanton (a 10-minute walk), is a top spot for a peaceful Suffolk holiday. Staying here puts you within easy driving distance of historic towns like Bury St Edmunds (20 minutes’ drive) and Stowmarket (25 minutes), as well as woodland trails like those found in Thetford Forest (25 minutes). The region’s coast is a little farther, with beaches such as Aldeburgh (pebbly) and Lowestoft (sandy) about one hour’s drive away. The site has a two-acre meadow where you can set up freely – there’s no being slave to marked bays here. There’s heaps of room for the kids to run around, and the family dog will almost certainly wag its tail in excitement at the prospect of sniffing every little corner of this great big field. A toilet/shower block, charging facilities and recycling points sweeten the experience further. Hiking (and wildlife-viewing) highlights in the vicinity include the Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve (15 minutes), with grazing wild ponies; and the Norfolk Wildlife Trust - East Wretham Heath Nature Reserve (25 minutes), where you might spot wading birds around the lakes, plus stoats and roe deer. If you need to stock up on grillables, Stanton has a couple of convenience stores, as well as a fish and chips shop for those who don’t fancy tending to hot coals all evening. You can also check out the restaurant at Wyken Vineyards or hit the pubs in Bardwell (both five minutes). After dinner, stretch out on the grass and take in the spectacle of the night sky – with such low light pollution here, stargazing is on a different level.

What customers say

A peaceful, low-fuss site with a welcoming atmosphere and beautiful views, ideal for stargazing. Guests appreciated the freedom to choose pitches, good value for money, and the proximity to local shops and pubs. While the toilet and shower facilities are undergoing refurbishment, they are reported as clean and functional. Some minor issues with muddy access and unfinished areas were noted, but overall, visitors found the site to be a charming work in progress and plan to return.

Hedgerow fully-serviced grass touring pitch

Liked A lovely low fuss, peaceful site. Due to the bad weather access to the main field was not ideal but we were offered another pitch which was beautiful. The hosts were very accommodating and made sure we were happy. The toilets are under refurbishment but were very clean and usable. Lovely site and will be back in the summer. There is a pub, chip shop and local shop all within walking distance

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked The area was nice. Local chippy and news agent close by 5-10 minutes walk. Showers and toilets was ok.
Great for star gazing.

Disliked Only downside was the ground was soaking wet and slippy. Obviously down to the weather so couldn’t be helped. Maybe more area needs to be stones or hard standing for bad weather times of the year.

Meadow non-electric grass pitch

Liked Owner was very welcoming and pleasant - made sure our pitch was as close to amenities as possible as requested.

Disliked In the morning was unable to find a light in the otherwise excellent toilet and shower facilities so that the early morning toilet visit was a bit on the dark side!

Local attractions

The steam-engine age is alive and well at Bressingham Steam Museum & Gardens (20 minutes), where you might take a ride on a narrow-gauge railway and climb aboard vintage engines. The ‘Dad’s Army’ displays ought to appeal to nostalgic TV buffs, while green-fingered visitors should check out the Japanese garden and ornamental ponds in the 17-acre gardens. An English Heritage property, the 12th-century Thetford Priory (20 minutes) was closed by order of Henry VIII in 1540. Its ruins now spread over a large area just north of the River Ouse. Thetford also has the Dad’s Army Museum and the Thetford Castle Mound, said to be Britain’s tallest medieval earthwork. Norfolk airfields witnessed plenty of action during World War II. Military museums in the area include the 100th Bomb Group Memorial Museum (25 minutes), housed in a former control tower; and the Red Feather Club 95th Bomb Group Museum (half an hour), which tells the story of a US Air Force team.
