Glamping Pod
Liked Absolutely amazing location, large field where you can play games. Short drive to the beach. Recommend!
Weekend away at Heathside Holidays.
Glamping Pod
Liked It was a relaxing weekend at Heathside Holidays, we stayed in the Glamping Pod and one of the advantages was that we had the toilet and shower inside and another advantage was that we had a small but accessible kitchen and a small TV. The fridge is small so if you want more space to keep something cold it is better to bring a cooler. Around there is a lots of green space with a lots of activities.
The price seems a bit high considering you have to bring all camping equipment minus the tent (linen, sleeping bags, pillows, cooking equipment, etc.) and unfortunately during our entire stay we had no WiFi connection at all.
Considering that we pay such a price for a Pod, they should be more attentive to the small details such as for example: the table in the Pod has a broken part, the floor is damaged and the space next to the kitchen sink has a lot of marks and aesthetically it looks disgusting and the tap is full of limescale, the fire blanket is full of marks, a lots of cobwebs everywhere and you should do something with the WiFi connection because as I mentioned earlier we had no connection at all during our stay.
These are a few small details to solve but otherwise we had a pleasant stay.
Friendly staff, lovely tidy site
Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked Plenty of space
Disliked could do with single hook up and tap per pitch
Fantastic site in a great location with wide open spaces, perfect.
Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked Fantastic open areas for games with daughters and grandkids who stayed in lodges close by. Area is well kept and touring pitches a good size with some privacy hedges between. No hiccups with water, waste or electric, all working fine. Great little shop on site and other ameanities great (could probably do with an extra gents cubicle if site fully occupied with 16 pitches but fine while we were there). Got a good welcome on arrival and staff friendly and professional. Great location for the Suffolk coast and Southwold only 15 mins by car. Great pubs all within a short drive. It’s our second stay in the last two summers and we will be back for sure. Thanks Heathside 👍
Disliked Need extra gents loo.

Glamping Pod
Liked Pod was very clean and tidy,we booked 1 pod and 4 huts all was well organised.
Disliked We had some bad experiences as we went there for fun and recreation but there was a lady next to us came and shouted with us in front of the kids,where we we not making any noise just doing BBQ and Pitch fire but obviously we were a big group .it was only 10:30 as you know summer time night starts very late so I think you should make your quiet zone at summer 12pm instead of 10 as we do glamping for pitch fire so we should get at least a bit time for enjoy.
From the manager: I'm afraid we had several complaint about the noise from your group very late into the early hours of the morning, the lady was quite right to ask you to keep the noise down at midnight!
All campsites have a 10.00pm noise curfew and we will continue with this this.

Liked Good sized pitches, lots of room for the kids to play and and explore, the shop is fully stocked with all the necessities at a good price

Glamping Pod
Liked We loved our weekend stay. The place is so good for all ages and families there is so much green space for the kids to run around and alot of space for family games and football. There is a park and table tennis basket ball etc we brought all our own stuff for it. The kids loved it. The glamping pods are cozy and comfortable I love the fact they have a toilet and a shower beats having to go to a shower block. The site does have a shower block which my parents used they said it was perfectly fine and clean. The staff were so lovely so friendly. The place is so well kept..it is so close to some lovely places we visited southwold and Walberswick we didn't eat out this time bht it's very close to various pubs and restaurants . My parents had their dog and it was ideal for him with all the green space and a nature walk. Defo will.be returning.
