Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Fabulous field, easy to peg into the ground. Thoughtfulness in things to hire or things to borrow. Wonderfully helpful on both phone & in person.
Disliked: Being picky here as there was nothing to dislike. Would have preferred more hooks & shelves in the showers.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Space, clean facilities, friendly reception staff, ample parking, proximity to beach, level ground, great atmosphere, quiet come 10pm- but still able to chatter and have music on quietly. The vending machine with local produce is a great idea, yummy sausages! Wonderful weekend away, we should’ve booked for longer.
Disliked: Toilets could’ve been cleaned more thoroughly.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Amenities were great, showers and toilets high quality and phone charging available for a small fee. There were picnic benches near the barn which were perfect for a BBQ. Location was excellent, a short walk to Southwold town with great pubs and the sea. The beach further north was a beautiful untouched nearly empty sandy beach. The camping meadow was big enough that we didn't feel too close to other campers even at peak on the summer weekend. Jess and Matt were both really friendly and knowledgable about the local area.
Disliked: Quite close proximity to the pig farm which made the campsite smell like you'd expect a pig farm to. Was only a mild hinderance and the positives absolutely outweighed this.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Perfect location close to the beach and town. Facilities were clean and there were no marked pitches so you could find your own space and didn't feel crowded. Lots of space for the kids to set up games etc without disturbing anyone else. Staff were flexible and very friendly.
