Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Just returned from a short trip to the top of Suffolk, where we pitched up at this lovely little campsite. It was perfect for us, the pitches were huge, you could easily get two tents on them, good if you were with your family or friends. The facilities were clean and tidy, the washing up sinks were under cover and the whole site was flat with nicely cut grass. The pre sent information was excellent, giving places to visit and local food stores and eateries. There was plenty of room for the children to ride their bikes and play on a large grassy area for ball games etc. Callum met use on our arrival and popped over to see us on our departure, he was a really nice chap, sadly we didn’t meet Sarah. We would definitely use the site again if we are the area. Thank you C & S and good luck for the future.

Nice site let down by toilets
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked It’s a lovely sight not to big we were sent a message and a video a few days before arivial giving us our pitch number and instructions how to use the electric hook up point
Disliked We felt the toilet facilities were not adequate for the potential number of visitors Ie just one shower and one toilet for male and female and one family disabled shower which had nowhere for someone to sit whilst getting changed the shower cubicle in the gents section definitely not suitable for gentlemen of a a larger statue

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the site. We're pleased to hear that you found the pre-arrival information helpful and that the pitch allocation and electric hook-up instructions made your arrival straightforward. We do try to make everything as easy and flexible as possible. We do have 2 toilets which men can use and three toilets which females can use in total. We also hire in a portable toilet for the the end of July/August period when things are a busier. Have a lovely summer, Sarah and Callum.
Fantastic, clean and peaceful site.
Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely big pitch with nice tall grass division so not too close to neighbours. A real feeling of space. Toilets and showers were spotless. The site was peaceful- nothing but bird song. The dogs loved the dog run. Callum was very welcoming and helpful. Communication beforehand from Sarah was great and arrival info really clear. We will definitely be back-maybe in our new van!
Disliked Nothing. if had to pick something the hot water was REALLY hot. If the site were full there could be a bit of a queue for the washing facilities but it wasn't so...

From the manager: Hi Catherine, thank you for leaving us a review :) We're really please that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that we can welcome you back another time. We've turned the thermostat down a little too! During late July and August we do hire in an additional porta loo just to reduce any queuing although last year it was barely used. Have a lovely summer, Sarah and Callum.
