s absolutely fabulous with the Xmas fair my daughter brought my granddaughter over for the day and saw Santa had a brilliant time

Had to cancel so unfortunately nothing this visit. However we have stayed here before and although the faculties aren’t fantastic they are ok for our needs. The legends bar is good and we enjoy walking around the shops and fayre ground.

We were called on the morning of our stay to say the pitches were water logged and we were being moved to the hard standing pitch on the show ground. So we were happy to still stay. When we arrived on the Friday this turned out to be the carpark on the show ground. This would have been ok on a normal weekend however there was a Christmas fayre on the Saturday and Sunday on the show ground. The area was already congested on the Friday and we felt our car and caravan would not be safe for us to leave and external point such as electric and water could be easily tempered with. We would have been on edge all weekend. So we asked for a full refund, which they agreed to and have had emailed confirmation. We had both taken the Friday afternoon of work, so we’re not very chuffed, we did find a lovely alternative at Polstead Country Park but had to pay again and travel the extra mileage.

We had booked to stay 4 nights on the camping site, but due to some heavy rain days before, we were contacted to advise the grass site was out of use.
The staff at the site arranged for us to stay on hard standing with ehu. Close to the showers and toilets. In fact the new pitch suited us very well.

The bar was good, nice to shelter in the bad weather, women's toilets, once actually working properly were mordernish.

Someone called to explain we would be moved to a hard pitch as the field was flooded, has no issues with this.

Upon arrival someone then told us this was also flooded, they took us to another field, which we got stuck in and had to get pulled out. We ended up on a piece of road with our friends other caravan, blocking the golf course,looking out to an abandoned circus.

We also felt abandoned, the gentleman that was there on arrival could not tell us where the water was, the waste water removal etc, just left us to fend for ourselves.

Showers were freezing cold, had young children with us who could only wash on the last day as it took that long for them to fix them.

I understand that we didn't go in peak time, but they shouldn't allow people to visit if they don't want to staff the area, we paid just as much as someone in the summer, so found that very unfair.

Under the circumstances with the awful storm and wet weather we enjoyed our stayed. Moved from booked grass pitch to hard standing due to grass being too wet but very happy with site and stay

Nothing as stay was cancelled

Site flooded so camp site closed still awaiting refund

Well featured park, almost Disneyland by Suffolk standards in fact! (see website, too much to list!)

Nice staff, didn’t use pitch due to flooding but optional hard standing was fine.

No dislikes really, a few noisy (12pm) Vikings. (Yes..sigh…) visiting, it’s all fine really. Site was a bit pricey but facilities kinda justify it. Washrooms low rent, but clean

The pitches were large with a close water supply. We were the only caravan on the site. The showers and toilets were well maintained. There were wash up facilities available although only 2 sinks. The wardens were friendly and helpful. They supplied an extra length mains lead as all the pitch hookups were switched off due to minimum 10 caravans rule. There are a good range of shops including craft and antiques. There is a good cafe and we had 2 good meals there at reasonable prices. There are many other leisure facilities crazy golf and a rally ground with car shows etc. The site is within easy reach of the Suffolk coastal resorts and large shopping centres. The pitches were level.

It was quite a long walk to the on site shops. The road was poor with many potholes.

On arrival we were greeted with a smile, we explained we were new to camping and were shown where everything was and we’re told if we have any problems or get stuck with the tent just go to the office and they would come and give us a hand. Toilet and shower blocks cleaned daily, they were never smelly or dirty. On site shop, cafe, bar, kids entertainment, tea shop and plenty of other small businesses offering various products. Pitch space was generous overall a very good experience, not disappointed and would go back again

We’ve been several times before, perfect for a quick getaway as it’s only a half hour drive from home. Lots to do, shops, cafe, crazy golf, car boot on Sundays. This particular weekend we had to cancel, I got covid, so we have got a weekend owed as we called direct and the staff were very accommodating and said call and we can come another time ❤️
