Positiv Good location for us. Friendly, business-like welcome. Clean facilities, plenty of warm showers. Laundry (had to clean sand out of dryer door edges though). Bus stop nearby (go into Southwold, it's lovely, NOT Lowestoft!) Nearby retail park. Nice walks around the site.

Negativ There seemed to be a lot of "permanent " caravans/campervans here which makes the place look a bit unkempt. They all know each other and do a lot of shouting across to each other. People's pitches aren't really respected either.

Positiv Friendly warm welcome from Jaik. He is extremely hard working and enthusiastic and looked after us well. Quirky and basic (but clean) site with adequate facilities. Good value for money.

Negativ Not the site's fault, but there were 2 very noisy boys in the tent next to us. Shouting and screaming through the woods behind and paying no attention to other people's pitch. One even knocked on the van's back doors.

Positiv Flat pitch, friendly welcome and peaceful site surrounded by horse fields. Lots of wildlife... geese, owls, buzzards. Basic facilities, but adequate. Nice hot shower ( no button) with washing machine available. So nice we returned on our way home! Mile walk into Ixworth along the edge of the fields, to bus stop ... then bus into Bury st edmunds. Lovely historic town!

Positiv Lovely welcome, could choose our pitch. Clean facilities, level pitches. Very well kept. Could get the bus (100) into Rye. Good value...we didn't need EHU. Enjoyed the skylarks.

Negativ Not the campsite's fault, but just wish other people could keep their voices down and kids in control! (And clean the shower round after themselves!)

Positiv Once again Portesham didn't disappoint. Level pitch. Nice easy check in, great staff, clean facilities as always. High tech showers...with seat, and no button! Bus to Weymouth/Bridport and West Bay ...but only every 2hrs! Good value in November.

Vom Platzbetreiber: We are so pleased you had another enjoyable stay with us. Thank you for your kind review comments and recommendation. We look forward to your next visit.

Positiv Quiet grass pitch away from the caravans. Nice outlook over lakes with river behind. Showers/wetrooms were ok. Easy walk along river to town 20 mins. Good value.

Negativ Loads of caravans which were very close together (fire risk?) Fly tipping at end of the site. Although there was a secure gate at the entrance, the gate at the back was open as it was a footpath. Entrance through industrial estate off-putting.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for your review

Positiv Lovely quiet campsite set back from A1. Level pitch. Great modern unisex wet rooms, which were spotless, with hot showers. Polite signage...not lots of laminated sheets telling you what not to do!

Negativ No check in as such...didn't see the owners.

Positiv Nice welcome. Good well kept aire. Level pitches, not too far from the village. Good value. Great walk up to the waterfall.

Positiv We've been before and it's still good. There's 2 wet rooms now, which are clean. Nice flat pitch. Lovely old characterful pub, friendly staff. Well kept site. We stayed another night!

Negativ Not sure works vans staying overnight and leaving early is a great idea.

Positiv Run by a friendly couple. Little shop open twice a day where you can order fresh baked goods for the next morning. The croissants were nice! Loved the clean, modern shower/toilet block.

Negativ Tricky road in with overhanging branches. No black waste. Timed light sensor in shower doesn't stay on long enough!

Positiv Friendly welcome from Paul, who pops up to check you in. We could choose our pitch which had amazing panoramic views. Facilities small, but lovely and clean. The site is very well run and maintained, without being in your face! Good walking on the South Downs and not too far from a bus stop on Kirby Drv. Would recommend staying out of school holidays!

Negativ Shower could do with a seat!

Vom Platzbetreiber: thank you for your feedback. glad you enjoyed your stay, yes we are lucky to have the views of the Downs and the Sea from this site, there are many good walks and things to do in the surrounding areas, the site does get busy on the Fridays and Saturdays but we do have a site policy that there is to be no music after 9pm as many of our customers come for the peace and quiet. thank you

Positiv Lovely friendly owners. Very well kept site. Nice pitch by the hedge, some pitches would need levels. Near to a small airfield. The facilities are clean and well stocked. There was even washing up liquid! Push button hot showers that could do with a seat! Games room too! Good value for money.

Negativ Entrance is very steep off the road which could cause larger vehicles to ground out. Overhanging trees may also be a problem. The site is near the A48 which is quite noisy.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, thank you for your lovely review. We do try and keep everything clean and tidy and try to ensure that everyone has a lovely camping break.

Positiv Fantastically well kept site. Friendly welcome. Pristine shower/toilet block and great laundry room. We had beautiful weather in November and had a lovely walk round the village.

Negativ Shower partitions are a bit low as the shower trays are high. No Internet signal and WiFi didn't work.

Positiv Friendly staff. Grass pitch was quite soft, but Mick helped find the best place. Lovely clean, tidy facilities and licenced cafe on site. Nice toilet/showers.

Negativ Key to the toilet block didn't work very well.

Positiv Lovely clean and tidy site. Level pitch. Convenient location. Nice touches with picnic tables and flowers...even in November. This was our second stay here, and we were pleased to see that the showers have been improved to make them more private. The best has been done with the available space. Great to have the radio playing in the toilet block! Used the on site laundry...very good and reasonable price!

Negativ Other people being noisy and inconsiderate...we all pay to stay! But not The Paddocks problem!

Positiv Friendly welcome. Lovely clean facilities. Everything is well maintained. Easy walk into Cheddar along the foot path. We parked our van in the camping field which was quiet and peaceful. Nice bakery/coffee shop in the village. We got the bus into Wells, but they are infrequent, and none on a Sunday.

Positiv Friendly welcome from Ken. Lovely big field with ehu as standard. The site is very laid back...we chose our own pitch away from it all. Lovely lakes to walk around, or fish in. It was nice to watch the geese and other birds. Clean and modern toilets and showers... but PLEASE put a seat in the showers, our days of hopping about to get dry/dressed are gone! And make sure they all have hooks! Also the showers are dark as they don't have individual lighting. We had a pleasant breakfast at the popular on site café one morning. Easy bus from outside to Canterbury or Sandwich. Very peaceful stay. Thank you

Positiv Check in was easy. Friendly staff. All facilities were fine: showers, toilets clean (enjoyed the radio). There's a launderette and shop, plus a cafe that seems popular. Nice flat pitch, divided by fences. Fairly peaceful. Good footpath through the field to New Romney (15min)...there's pubs, shops & a Sainsburys.

Negativ Not the campsite's fault, but we were woken, and kept awake, at 05.30 by the loud voices of people who pitched up beside us the night before we left. Very rude and inconsiderate...and against the campsite's rules.

Positiv What a gem! Warm, friendly welcome. We had some interesting chats about the history of the site. Fishing lakes and woodland walks with benches dotted about. A peaceful, beautiful site with so much attention to detail. John and Jacqui care very much about their site, and it shows. Very clean facilities and off-set pitches, some right by the lake. Easy access to Lincoln and Horncastle...bus stop on the main road, a couple of minutes walk. We didn't want to leave! John and Jacqui...you should be proud! Thank you!

Positiv Brilliant! Warm and friendly welcome from Sue, who showed us around and gave us tea while we chatted! Lovely, small relaxed campsite, at the end of a lane...very quiet and peaceful. It feels very safe here. Beautifully kept with tidy, if quirky gardens. Showers immaculately clean. Care and attention from the owner is obvious. Felt like nothing was too much trouble. We didn't want to leave! Thank you Sue and Bob!
