The Red Lion

Liked: Lovely campsite

Disliked: Went to have a meal in the pub got in was told by some old women who was doing the bookings that we would have to wait while she tried to find us a table which was fine went to sit at a table while she was doing this only to be shouted at (You can't sit there I just told you) bearing in mind we were the only people in the pub so we stood at the bar while she huffed and puffed eventually got a table giving the early bird menu which was rubbish so went back and had something to eat in our campervan , If this woman whoever she is is front of house she needs replacing

From the manager: So where to start!!!! The pub was empty when you arrived but we had 52 people booked that night for our “rubbish” early bird menu!!!!! Fish and chips plus a drink for £12. Which runs from 5.30pm till 7pm then we go on to the full menu from 7pm till 8pm You were asked to wait while we found a space for you to be squeezed in as you hadn’t booked and didn’t ask to book when you arrived!!!… you then sat down at a table that wasn’t available so you were asked to move to a table that was available!!!… then you proceeded to huff and puff because the menu wasn’t up to “your” standards and you left!!!…… if you would like to put a review about the pub please do so on the pubs review page…. Please remember that this is the campsites review page and has nothing to do with the pub Also can I make a suggestion that on your future bookings that you do a bit of research about where you’re staying and what is available at the time of your stay Kind regards Mike

Liked: A very quiet small campsite with very level gravel pitches. 16amp EHU and excellent site wide 2.4/5.0 Ghz wifi. Small toilet, shower and washing up building with loads of hot water and all cleaned. Staff were friendly and helpful as is attached to a lovey pub serving good ale and excellent food. Sunday roast lunch was huge! Good walks for the dogs around the River Waveney. There is a small but very well equipped fenced of children's playground. Enjoyed our stay and will be back.

From the manager: Well I knew this review was coming!!!! Where to start!!! You left a message on the pub answer phone to book a table for Saturday night. Unfortunately you didn’t leave a name and you didn’t leave a number!!! When you arrived I had been asking all guest if they had left a message to book a table. I asked you and you said yes!!! I apologised that I’d not called you back but you’d not left a name nor a phone number!!!! You were outraged that I’d not gone through all the bookings for that weekend (11) and called them all to “check” unfortunately as it was a bank holiday weekend and we were fully booked on Saturday evening (82) you couldn’t get a table and waved your arms around like a wild man!!!!! So unfortunately this complaint came about because of your frustration because sadly you’d made a mistake in not leaving a contact number or name when calling. I don’t think I really need to address any of your other complaints as I believe you’re just trying to cause a problem out of frustration. If you’re reading this reply and would like to book a table please remember if it goes to answer phone please leave your name and a contact number Kind regards Mike

Liked: Near a pub...nice walks. Toilet block ok. Pub had nice food and v good beer.

Disliked: A rather tatty small campsite in need of a bit of TLC. Hardstanding was rough and uneven. Some run down caravans on site not being used.

From the manager: Out of over 200 reviews no one has ever mentioned that the hard standing is rough and uneven!!!! All pitches are flat and level so again not really sure what you’re going on about!!! Unless of course you decided to roll around on them!!!! ALL Caravans that were on-site during your stay were being used. Considering you only stayed “one” night unsure how you would come to this conclusion?!?!!

Liked: Host good food great amenities good price good no bad points at all
