  • Well-kept site on a 100-acre farm overlooking the Haddiscoe Marshes
  • Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth within a 20-minute drive
  • Fresh farm produce for sale; blacksmith taster days and courses
Meander through marshes and saunter alongside the sea from Thorpe Hall Manor, a quiet and well-kept farm site in the hamlet of Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe. With 100 acres of farmland, a nature pond and marshy views to keep you occupied, this will be a tempting hideaway for those looking to unplug in a countrified, nature-packed place near the coast. Thorpe Hall Manor may be located in deep East Anglia, but rare breed animals that hail from other parts of the British Isles call this place home too – the likes of Hebridean sheep and Golden Guernsey goats. The farm also keeps chickens, pigs, turkeys and cattle, meaning lots of farm-fresh produce is on hand. As well as its ultra-local food, Thorpe Hall Manor manages its land in a less intensive way, allowing wildlife to thrive in its many quieter corners. If you're keen to brush up on your countryside skills, take a look at the blacksmiths' forge on site – here guests can sign up for taster days and courses. If you're after something more delicate, the site also runs jewellery courses in which you can make your own rings, earrings and the like (please book ahead for courses). The site has communal flushing toilets and hot showers. All of this is only a few steps from a Saxon church, a 16th-century country house, the edge of the Haddiscoe Marshes and a nifty cut-through to Haddiscoe station. The nearest pub, where tasty meals are served, is about a 15-minute stroll away.

Lovely quiet farm site for a peaceful escape, steeped in history & nature. Chris & Chester get rave reviews! Great for wildlife spotting & walks, or exploring nearby towns. Simple, good value, great for stargazing. Beds might be a bit short for some.

Alan L.

1 bedroom static caravan

Liked Excellent basic accommodation in the static caravan but with everything you need including, hobs/oven, kettle, toaster, fridge and very comfortable seating and beds. Clean toilet and shower in the outbuilding.

Chris is so very accommodating and helpful.

Ideal for a bit of rural peace and quiet while being close enough to the main town and the villages nearby.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent site

Liked Perfect for a low budget getaway, especially if you're looking for someplace quiet where you can enjoy nature. Chris was super helpful and we bought some delicious turkey eggs. Chester the dog stole my croc but I can't hold it against him since he was so friendly! And of course who doesn't love the occasional sound of turkeys gobbling as you go about your day.

Trevor D.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent site

Liked Everything about the place. Steeped in history, surrounded by pristine countryside, moorland and marshes and all under a classic huge Norfolk sky that sparkles on a clear night with countless stars. It's also a working farm and hosts, as well, a rural traditional craft enterprise producing metalworks ranging from the essential practical to the outstanding aesthetically pleasing. The people running this operation are welcoming and friendly and make a stay here a joy.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent site

Liked Wonderfully quiet farm campsite. The owners were absolutely lovely, especially the delightful Chester the dog. Really peaceful evenings, with gorgeous dark skies, excellent for star gazing! Everything was exactly as described in the description- a simple, no nonsense campsite. Close enough to all that the Norfolk/Suffolk border has to offer but rural enough that it felt incredibly peaceful.

Disliked Nothing, it was perfect!

Claire R.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent site

Liked I loved this site! Rural, peaceful (except for the odd animal noise 🐷) and super friendly. Chris was incredibly welcoming as was of course Chester the dog - who was always available to say hi.

The location is fab with stacks of wildlife all around you, plus some farm animals on site who are happy to say hi. You are also not far from several towns / attractions for days out.

Great pitch area, everywhere was very clean.

Would 100% be happy to return.

Disliked Nothing :).

Local attractions

Being towards the southern end of the Broads, there are bucketloads of pleasant rural waterways to cycle along, canoe down and watch wildlife by. Start off by calling in at St Olaves (five minutes' drive), a secluded spot on the Waveney river whose perpetual popularity can be explained by its well-preserved priory, Victorian suspension bridge and boat hire options. Like Haddiscoe, St Olaves has a station on the spectacular Wherry Line – from here, you can glide along to Lowestoft (20 minutes), a splendid seaside spot over the border in Suffolk, or chug on down to Berney Arms (30 minutes), a gorgeously remote request stop on the edge of a nature-rich RSPB reserve. Besides boating and birdwatching, Thorpe Hall Manor is well-located for family-friendly field trips to Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre (20 minutes), Pleasurewood Hills theme park (20 minutes) and brilliant Burgh Castle (20 minutes). Norwich's variety of kid-pleasing activities are close by too, with a bowling alley, castle and cinema all on the menu.
