Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Pitch was private, quiet and level. Facilities were very good, nice toilet block with clean loos and hot showers. Loved the background music ! Staff really welcoming, friendly and helpful. We walked to the dog friendly Cock Inn for a really nice and well priced meal, 40 mins through beautiful woodland and quiet lanes with the help of the directions and map available in reception. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back. Thank you for a very chilled stay Polstead Country Park.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: 3rd time staying here now as we love the site so much. Very friendly site and the people that run it are very friendly also. The toilet/shower block are one of the best we have used. Warm, shower nice a hot with great water pressure and can have a dance too whilst listening to the music lol. Two pubs you can walk too, one up the road 10 min walk and another through the woods the opposite way about 4 mins walk. Will be returning again for sure.
Disliked: Nothing

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: We had a really enjoyable long weekend. Pitches are large and well maintained with hedging to provide privacy. We chose a south facing pitch which was lovely. This did however mean we were close to the road so we did experience a fair amount of road noise. The staff at the site are really friendly and helpful. The shower and toilet area are cleaned daily and more than adequate for the site. I felt the shower areas would benefit from a deep clean as there was black mould and limescale in the cubicles The location is good for walking and the Cock Inn pub was a real find . We also visited Kersey and Lavenham which were lovely.
Disliked: The site has two roads nearby and there is a lot of road noise regardless of where you are pitched but it wouldn’t prevent us from returning. I do think the shower cubicles would benefit from deep cleaning

From the manager: Thank you so much Tina for taking time to leave such a great review and some fab pics! The showers are checked and cleaned more than once a day and we are in an area of such hard water that the water marks on the back plates are an ongoing battle, but we appreciate your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you again in the not too distant future.
