Syntes om We had a lovely stay at Pinecones. The toilets were very clean and the cleaner was always friendly and welcoming. The pitches are spacious, well maintained, and having water and electric right by the pitch was really convenient.
It’s also in a great central location for visiting King’s Lynn, Sandringham and Hunstanton, with some lovely walks around the village too.
A peaceful, well-kept site in a really handy location. We would happily stay again

Syntes ikke om The road noise didn’t really bother us, although a few more lights along the path to the toilets in the evening would be helpful. This is only a suggestion rather than a complaint.
The only thing that left a slightly bitter taste was our arrival. My husband was towing our large caravan with his van, so together it was quite a long and difficult combination to manoeuvre. While I went to collect the envelope with our instructions from the box by reception, he stopped briefly on the drive to wait for me.
A lady approached him and told him that he needed to move because he was blocking the entrance. At the time there was no traffic, and there appeared to be plenty of space for other vehicles to get around, so we felt the manner in which this was handled was unnecessary. She did not introduce herself or explain her role, so my husband assumed she was either an employee or perhaps the owner.
When I later asked whether I needed to speak to her, I received a rather unfriendly response and was told quite abruptly that if we had two vehicles, one would have to be parked away from the pitch. We later saw the same lady several times walking her dog past our caravan and believe we also saw her in reception.
It was only a small part of an otherwise very pleasant stay, but unfortunately the interaction made our arrival feel less welcoming than it could have been. A friendly introduction and a little understanding while guests are trying to manoeuvre a large caravan would have made a big difference.

Syntes om I'll start with the positives

•Fantastic location for our primary reason for being in the area (Sandringham), very good communication from yourselves, site was nice and clean, the toilet / shower facilities were also spotless. The bar was a nice touch too...along with the picnic huts (though noisy)

Syntes ikke om • I imagine it will come as no surprise to you, as you really cannot miss it, but the road noise was to us, not what we have come to expect for a break away in our van. It was very off putting, even in the very early hours of the morn' it was busy and not conducive to a proper night's sleep, this was the main reason we left a night early as it was a bit too much for us I'm afraid

• The pitch felt some what compact to others we've pitched up on, we also enjoy a bit of privacy something we didn't feel we had on our pitch without us closing blinds etc', perhaps maybe allow the hedges to grow to maybe 5 foot or so....the services provided on the pitch though, were faultless

Syntes om Clean site with good facilities. Toilet blocks were clean. Nice setting, only 10 mins drive from from Hunstanton. 20 mins cycle to Sandringham.

Syntes ikke om Touring fully serviced pitches are quite small. You have to park your car across the front of your caravan and awning. As there was not much space some people were parking cars on the driveways in front of the pitches. This did not leave room to reverse your caravan into the pitches. Good that I had a motor mover. Had the same problem getting out. There were often queues for the toilet/showers. Not enough when the site is full. One of the toilet lights did not work. Another had a loose shower head that kept dropping down. There were no shelves in the toilets to stand toiletries and the basins were very small so no space. There was quite a lot of road noise.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your review. We're pleased you found Pinecones clean, enjoyed our facilities and setting, and appreciated our location for Hunstanton and cycling to Sandringham.

We would like to clarify a few points raised. We offer a range of pitch sizes, including both smaller and larger fully serviced pitches, so it is important when booking to select the pitch type that best suits the size of your caravan, awning, vehicle and individual requirements.

We have two separate toilet and shower blocks on site. During busy periods there can occasionally be a short wait at the main block, but our second block at the top of the site is generally underused. We have signage specifically advising guests of this and encouraging them to use the quieter facilities.

Regarding storage within the bathrooms, all of our private shower rooms have a corner shelf specifically for toiletries.

We did identify one toilet light that had stopped working and one faulty shower during our regular facility checks. Both issues were dealt with, with the shower repaired the same day. With facilities being used continuously during busy periods, occasional faults can occur, which is why we carry out regular checks and aim to rectify anything we find as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your comments regarding vehicle parking and will continue to ensure guests park within their allocated areas so that the site roadways remain clear for access.

Finally, our location is directly on the A149 Dersingham Bypass and is clearly shown within our address and booking information. We appreciate that individual sensitivity to road noise can vary.

Thank you again for your feedback. We are disappointed that these points resulted in a 5/10 score, but we appreciate the opportunity to clarify them and are pleased you recognised the cleanliness, facilities and location of the site.

Syntes om We've just come back from a long weekend stay at Pine Cones and really enjoyed our time there. Our pitch was quiet, backing on to trees, away from the busy road.
My son (6) enjoyed the small play area although there was nowhere for older children to run around or play ball games.
We used the take away hatch 1 evening and the food was good and the wait was only about 10 minutes.
The toilets/showers were clean, but the floors were always wet as the toilet is directly next the shower.
The site is within a 10 minute drive to Sandringham Estate or to Hunstanston.
