Had diffebt area to sit also a log burner

Family-friendly secure site in meadows near Woodbridge, Suffolk
A 20-minute drive to Sutton Hoo; 25 minutes to Felixstowe beach
Dogs are welcome; five minutes’ walk to a pub

How about a Suffolk break at a spot with masses of room for kids and dogs to run around safely? A break on 4.5 acres of secluded meadow surrounded by mature trees? Dan’s Meadow is a small family-run site accessed by a tree-lined driveway with a locked gateway for extra security. It’s close to the historic riverside town of Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive), in the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, so there are lots of coastal walks and bike rides to discover (most seem to include pub stops). If you’re bringing dogs, there are riverside walks direct from the site too – the friendly owners are happy to suggest touring and exploring ideas for you if you want to go further afield. Family-centric on-site facilities include a modern loo and shower block. There’s also a utility room with hot and cold running water and a communal fridge-freezer. Barbecues are permitted on site, and there’s plenty of room for sitting around the fire and relaxing with a glass of wine as you eat. If you prefer an evening stroll, there’s a warm welcome at the local pub (five minutes’ walk), and there’s a takeaway nearby too.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely owners, lovely site with a back to basics feel. We were in the rally field which was lovely and spacious with gorgeous views. Clean and decent facilities (little tight when taking a small person in with you to shower - just be prepared to get as wet as them 😂. ) There is a communal fridge - didn’t realise that till the morning we were leaving - so good of you’re not on hook up!

Disliked Nothing - was a lovely few days away.

From the manager: Hi Kylie lol,

It was lovely to meet you all over the Easter bank holiday weekend we hope you had a great time.
Sorry we forgot to mention the fridge, we hope that the children had a great Easter.

Electric grass pitch

Liked A cracking site. Entry could not be easier, quiet probably due to time of year. Could hardly hear road, and the odd train in the distance was no trouble. Will definitely return. Toilets, and showers clean and warm.

Oct 2025 Emma H.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site and well maintained. The owners were kind enough to lend us some tent pegs for the awning as we hadn't brought enough!! Thank you so much you saved us -as it was a blowy weekend!
We had hoped to walk to the pub but it was October so a bit dark and the road has no pavement - unless there is a back way - we couldn't find it. However we had a nice time just relaxing on site with the dog.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Emma,

Thank you for leaving us a review. Unfortunately there is only one way into the Red Lion Pub and that is along the road.
Hope this didn't effect your stay to much.

Kylie

Sept 2025 Shane P.

Electric grass pitch

Liked What a lovely little site, showers and toilets were clean and kept tidy, very peaceful and a good field to walk the dog around. We were only there for a few nights, we walked 5 min to the pub Friday for dinner and was spoilt for choice and popped in for a drink Saturday,Take a torch as its quite dark on the entrance to the pitch. Met Andrew the owner, lovely gentleman. Greated me by name which I thought was very nice. We will definitely be back.

Aug 2025 Gill B.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Location/Quite

Disliked We were parked on field, pitch 8, and were told that the toilet/shower block directly behind us we couldn't use as it was for people in pitches 1-5.
Also no internet passcode for us as we booked through Pitch-up. We have booked and stayed twice before and always been in 1-5.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good afternoon Gill,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a recommendation.

Unfortunately as you booked through pitch up you will be placed down on our rally field 6-11 as this is where these bookings are placed.
Regarding the wifi we do not advertise it as the connection is very poor and slow.
We hope this has not ruined your stay with us and you may look to stay again in the future.
Regards
Kylie

Local attractions

Suffolk has much in the way of history to discover, from walks along fortified walls at majestic Framlingham Castle or the towering keep and maze of underground passages at Orford Castle (both 25 minutes’ drive). And of course one of the big-hitting attractions in these parts is the Anglo-Saxon burial treasures at Sutton Hoo (20 minutes), all gloriously displayed in a National Trust-owned exhibition. Many local countryside walks and cycle routes include pub stops, and you can play golf or take to horseback to ride through local woodlands within a half-hour’s drive. The odd rainy day is taken care of with a swimming pool and cinema in Ipswich (20 minutes). The seaside town of Felixstowe (25 minutes) is a great day trip for splashing around off the sandy beach or checking out the arcades along the pier, while Flatford Mill (40 minutes) sits in gorgeous countryside in Constable Country and is a popular spot for walks along the River Stour and in Dedham Vale.
