Grass pitches at an adults-only Suffolk holiday park near Saxmundham
A 20-minute drive to Aldeburgh beach; 25 minutes to Orford Castle
Entertainment, fishing, a pool and fitness suite on site

Occupying a quiet corner of a Suffolk holiday park 10 minutes' drive from Saxmundham, the spacious grass pitches at the adults-only Lonely Farm provide peace by the bucketload as well as all the advantages of the park’s facilities. And what facilities they are: with not one but two fishing lakes on site, this is a splendid spot for keen anglers, and there’s plenty more to lure you in too. On high-season weekends (March to October), you’ll be kept entertained by free activities and events, and when the weather is behaving, you can get out on the tennis court. Keep up your exercise regime (if you must) in the fitness suite, or swim a few laps of the heated indoor pool. If you prefer more sedate pursuits, you can simply have a wander along the park’s woodland walk. Guests staying on the pitches at Lonely Farm also have access to electric hook-ups, shower and toilet blocks, waste disposal points and fresh water points.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The location is superb
Close to many amenities and sites of interest

Disliked: Management seem to have lost interest in the site
Upon arriving we'd been allocated a camping pitch that was full of holes. Attempting to ring reception or site manager went straight to answerphone
We had to walk to reception of the neighbouring caravan site who manage the campsite
Facilities such as toilets and showers are becoming tired and in need of investment
Hand towel in men's and ladies toilets had run out. Leaving a message made no difference
Sadly I doubt we will be going back

Electric grass touring caravan pitch

Liked: We really liked this site as so quiet and relaxed it was a pleasure. Our families (with grandchildren) stayed on the Park main site and this suited us all perfectly as we could meet up and then come back to our van.Toilets and showers were lovely and clean. Fab weekend and we will be booking again for next year.

Local attractions

For days at the beach, take to the coast at Aldeburgh (20 minutes’ drive) and treat yourself to fish and chips, or head to cute little Southwold (25 minutes) for retro amusements at the Under the Pier Show on the pier. From there, hop on the ferry across the River Blyth to Walberswick (25 minutes) for a drink in the pub or to spot wading birds among its heathlands and marshes. Other day trips that should bring a smile to your faces include all the animal encounters at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park (40 minutes), Banham Zoological Gardens (an hour) for its penguins and sea lions, or the truck safaris across the savannah at Africa Alive Zoological Reserve (half an hour). Pleasurewood Hills Family Theme Park (45 minutes) is another good bet, with water rides and rollercoasters galore. Mix things up a bit by introducing some history into your lives: at Framlingham Castle (15 minutes) you can walk the defence walls, and at Orford Castle (25 minutes) there are displays of local Roman finds and audio tours of the castle’s tangle of passageways.
