Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site had a lot to offer, from crazy golf, escape room, kids playground, ample pitch space, cafe and cooked meals, water taps on pitches, nice people. Picnic benches. The four communal showers were basic but very clean, as we're the toilets. Lots of hooks.

Disliked: On information it said a race takes place on the first weekend of every month. But this visit wasn't then, which is why we thought we would book, but when we arrived we found there was an extra one, the only issue with this, was everyone who came with the runners, as well as runners were using all the toilets so couldn't use one! family members Sitting at empty pitch site benches, walking all around the site, including through our pitch, felt a bit intruded by them, plus felt our belongings were unsafe. Needs to have a bit of separation fence between campers and visitors. The sinks with toilets are all outside with no cover, so you get wet if it's raining, or washing your hands or teeth.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I'm sorry you were disturbed by the runners, the dates have changed slightly so we will get this updates. We have a lot of toilets but I'm sorry you were inconvenienced, we will also look at this and getting a fence in place. Thanks for the feedback. PS for others - There are 9 showers in all. And four out of 5 of the sinks are undercover.

Great location, massive slot, paid a bit more for the large patch…

Jay M. Jun 2024

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Peaceful, exceptionally spacious, well laid out, good facilities. We loved the chickens wandering free, the table tennis table in the shelter, and the very modern and clean bathroom facilities with a “glamping” level vibe. The vast football pitch and playground for kids was also a win! There is mini golf on site for a small additional fee.

Disliked: Being in the middle of an activity site. There is an adventure course on one side of you, which I can imagine gets noisy. Archery on the other side. It was all peaceful when we were there, but ruined the view a little and worried us for return visits in times like the summer holidays. That said, it is ideal for families looking for those additional paid things as entertainment, and our stay wasn’t at all disrupted by them. It is a very spacious and very well equipped site.

From the manager: Thanks for the review - Guests are very welcome to request a pitch in a quieter area.

Good size pitches, family friendly

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Family friendly camp site and all staff very obliging.

Disliked: Toilets showers wash up areas very tired and need renewing. But there is a male female shower/toilet in main building which is better

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review Our facilities are and for the foreseeable future will be 'rustic' . Behind the scenes the boiler was replaced a year or so ago and a new treatment plant put in to ensure plenty of hot water and plenty of space for waste to go. The inside showers and toilets are offered as an alternative for those who prefer. The wash up area consists of three good size sinks which are clean and all have hot water.

Good dog walks from camp site & pubs, within walking distance.…

Robert T. May 2024

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (water hook-up)

Liked: Good dog walks from camp site & pubs, within walking distance.

Disliked: Pitch location next too main barrier in 'residential' part of the site. Extremely limited bus service from village to Bury St Edmunds.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the review Just for others reference - we do not have a 'residential' part of the campsite. There may have been a caravan or two (no more) that were staying longer than a week in that instance. On arrival we could have allocated an alternative pitch. The buses run Mon - Sat to Bury St Edmunds in the mornings several times and back in the afternoons, last bus back around 5.30 from Bury. Parting thought - You will have severely knocked down my Pitch Up rating for things that really are not our fault but we do hope to see you again and will be more than happy to discuss which pitch will suit you best.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: quietness and range of attractions / facilities available on site

Disliked: toilet / shower facilities not the greatest, but work was being carried out so didn't get the full picture

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Some updates to the facilities over the winter, not as much as we would have liked as 'rain stopped play' but we are always trying to improve and update something every year.

Great spot for a stop over or a few nights, well kept facilities

Local attractions

Up for a challenge? The Playground, just next door, has a huge assault course to tackle, along with a collection of more kid-friendly obstacles. If that’s given you an appetite for such antics, follow up with a zip through the trees on the canopy trails at Go Ape, half an hour away by car. If that’s not really your style, perhaps trot up the road from the site to Barrow Hall Stables for riding lessons, countryside hacks and summer-hols activity days that should please pony-mad nippers. Want to see the gee-gees going full pelt? The famed racecourse at Newmarket is a 15-minute drive away. Too much adrenaline? Calmer times are around too – perhaps in the cafés, gardens and abbey of Bury St Edmunds, or with a wander through the stunning gardens at Ickworth (even if you’re not usually one for a stately home, this one’s worth a visit – if only to marvel at its perfectly round Georgian rotunda building). Both are about 15 minutes away by car. The pretty half-timbered houses of Lavenham (half an hour away) are worth a look too.
