Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked: Lovely clean camp site in the Suffolk countryside, well stocked shop, very friendly staff, large pitches with services.
Small toilet block and shower
Easy 20 minute walk to the local pub, the Star Inn.
Disliked: Unable to connect to Wi-Fi, (problems with starlink at the time we stayed, come across this before on other sites limited range)
No hooks to hang towels on in wash room, no shelf for wash kit in shower.

Shepherd's hut
Liked: It was a lovely relaxing and peaceful sight. Everything needed was there. Well stocked shop. Very clean shepherds hut and comfortable. Very spacious too. The facilities were very clean throughout the day.
Disliked: Could do with more showers as there was only one in the ladies and you were allowed to use the disabled facilities if the shower were busy. Could do with a couple more.

Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked: Nice size pitch with good facilities. Site had lovely green areas and having the heath opposite to walk the dog was fantastic. The onsite shop was a nice addition too.
Disliked: The shower/toilet facilities are insufficient for the number of guests using them. We arrived at the end of a half term break and all pitches were taken. At this time getting a shower was an ordeal. That said, after the crowds left the facilities were more than enough. The toilets/showers were always kept clean. WiFi was very poor!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: This is the second time we've stayed here and we absolutely love it. We stayed in the Shepherds Huts which are perfect. It's a beautiful part of Suffolk with lots to do.
Disliked: The pub next door. Very weird!! We went in hoping for some food found a very odd menu and was told they discourage people from buying food. If you want to eat you must go to the Crown in Westketon. It's a 5 minute drive but the food is amazing

Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked: Space & cleanliness. Really well kept site. Shop was well stocked.
Disliked: Showers, only two available. Washing up facilities, water was hot and no mixer tap. Came out incredibly fast, ended up getting wet.

Glamping Pod
Liked: A Fantastic Glamping Experience at Heathside!
We had a fabulous time staying in the glamping pods at Heathside! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The pod was cosy and the double bed was comfortable.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The spacious grounds were a huge bonus, plenty of room for the children to run around, play and enjoy the outdoors safely.
One of the best parts was the location. Beautiful beaches were just a short drive away, making it super convenient to enjoy the coast and all it has to offer.
If we had to mention one minor improvement, it would be the addition of a few extra hooks inside the pod for coats. The ones in the bathroom were handy but mostly used for towels.
Overall, Heathside is a brilliant place for a relaxing and fun-filled glamping break. We would definitely recommend it to families and friends alike!

Shepherd's hut
Liked: Viss bija ļoti forši, apkārt ir daudz ko darīt, jūra ir netālu, takas ko staigāt arī ir netālu, blakus mežs kur var staigāt. Vairāki droši laukumi kur bērni var skraidīt un spēlēt bumbu.
