What customers say
This is a well-maintained, peaceful site with friendly and helpful owner, Barry. Guests enjoyed the hot tub, cosy accommodation, and good facilities, including clean showers with hot water. The fishing pond is a particular highlight. Some guests noted narrow access lanes. The owner is addressing requests for hardstanding pitches and has spoken with workmen regarding early morning noise.

Fully-serviced grass touring pitch
Liked Barry the owner was extremely friendly. We thought being a touring pitch it would have the round plug, however, it had a standard 3 pin plug & we hadn't brought our adapter with us, Barry kindly offered to get us an adapter as he was heading out to the local shop caravan shop anyway.
Pitch was fairly soft ground.
Dog friendly site.
Nice & quiet.
Local pub about 30mins walk & is dog friendly.
Nice clean shower/toilet block.
Will definitely be back in the future.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Disliked Take some hand soap with you to the toilet/shower block.
Pitch up is wrong (not the owners fault) - Rendlesham forest is 38miles from site, not 13.9miles.
