Positiv The site is very clean and well kept. The farm animals are a delight . The animal experience is one not to miss. Just remember you will get dirty . We have been coming on and off to this camp site for a few years. That says it all really. Fab for children to explore .

Negativ Nothing to dislike. Real shame the Rabbit cafe could not open as from experience it’s fab . We missed it.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your lovely review and I am really pleased you enjoyed the animal feeding experience. Cafe is now open for pop-up wood-fired pizzas on Friday nights. I am hoping to have it open for brunches at weekends next year - just trying to work out how currently - I need more hours in the day!
Looking forward to seeing you again

Positiv Loved the fact that there was different areas which had around 4 pitches within them. All very close to the on site facilities such as showers and toilets. Toilets were kept very clean. Perfect for children as has a great play area, alongside this the animal feeding was brilliant. Arya makes it very personable and ensures that all of the children have an amazing time. She is a great host. Washing up facilities were perfect. Bought sausage, bacon and egg’s from Arya which was hand reared on site. Also bought logs for our fire pit. Lovely pub within walking distance which was very welcoming with nice food and drink options. Would return again for sure.

Negativ Toilet roll was a little sparse at times. Hot water on the second night was not as warm as the first which may be due to the amount of people using the hot water at that time.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely review and it was such a pleasure meeting you all - Cem (the dog) especially loved playing with you all. Hope you enjoyed the bacon and sausages. Sometimes the hot water does run out - sorry. I have limited electricity and the tanks are heating up all the time, but at very busy times it can run out. I am saving up for more solar panels so hopefully it won't be an issue for much longer.
Looking forward to seeing you again

Some really friendly chicken’s!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your lovely review, I am so pleased you had a good time. The ferry to Felixstow is so lovely. Me and the dog love going over there and walking along the coast to Felixstow. Sometimes I think the chickens are a little too friendly! But they are cute. Lovely photos - thank you.
Looking forward to seeing you again

Positiv Lovely flat pitch, close to toilet block

Negativ Showers not working in the hottest week of the year!

Freunden empfehlen Erneut besuchen

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review. I am sorry the showers in one of the toilet blocks were not working. I was waiting for the plumber to come and fix them. The showers in the two new toilet blocks by the campsite entranec were working though.
take care and hope to see you again (when all showers will be working!)

Positiv Lovely space, free to use fridge/freezer and plenty of wooded footpaths to explore from the site

Negativ Shame the nearest shower was out of order and the on-site cafe also not open as no other options in the village if required

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your kind review - glad you enjoyed our lovely location in this area of outstanding natural beauty. We are so lucky to be able to walk directly to the river, woodland and heath land from the campsite.
One of the downsides of being in such an unspoilt rural location though is that there are not many food options nearby. The cafe will be opening in a couple of weeks for wood-fired pizzas on a Friday evening. I am hoping that the cafe will also reopen at weekends for brunches and lunches in 2027. Currently I am running everything by myself so I will have to organise some extra help to enable the cafe to open on Saturday and Sundays. Meanwhile the pub is open most days and is opening a small cafe too.

Sorry the shower was out of order in the old block. I am waiting for my plumber to come and resolve the airlock - he should be here this week. The showers in the other two shower blocks were working though.
Hope to see you again soon
