Liked: Absolutely everything. Arrived on Friday to Monday for the Easter bank holiday weekend, upon arrival we were greeted right away by the owner who was lovely. Felt like a home from home 🏡 The pitch location was perfect and very peaceful. Wish we could have stayed a lot longer 😢 Can't wait to go back very soon. The bar and breakfast - 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most of all no children onsite 👌 pure bliss!!!
Disliked: Nothing to say here 👍👌

Liked: This is definitely a site of two different characters. On one hand the cafe is brilliant, the staff very friendly and helpful and the views of the lakes splendid. But then where you camp feels hidden at the back and a bit unloved. I turned up to one unit with cans scattered on the floor. The A12 is really close making it really easy to get to and to get around,.but then there is the constant drone. In summation I would stop again, but only as a stop over

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: We stay here often, it is a peaceful rural setting and the owners are friendly and welcoming. It is ideal for those that love to fish or just to take a stroll through the countryside or chill and relax. The bar/restaurant has an outdoor seating area and a lovely deck area overlooking the lakes and does a great breakfast. The site is easy accessible, being just off the A12 but this does mean that you do get a bit of background traffic noise when outside but it has never stopped us having a good nights sleep!

Liked: Lovely place to get away with lakes across the lawn, and places to explore. We stayed for four nights. The shower works fine. The toilets and facilities were clean and well maintained. There are two toilets and one shower - see my pics. The site was quiet and we'll return if we visit the area again. There's a lovely cafe on the site for the fishermen and you can eat there if you like, enjoying beautiful lakeside views! We enjoyed walks around the lakes, you can do kayaking or paddle boarding if you want to, and the owners are delightful. I got the wifi code from the cafe and was able to get online too, at no extra cost, which was excellent.
Disliked: The campsite grass could do with some reseeding, but it must be difficult when you have vehicles coming and going, especially when it's been a rainy summer.
