What customers say

A lovely, quiet site with tidy pitches and a welcoming team. Perfect for Suffolk coast adventures. Kids love the play areas. Glamping is cosy, though Wi-Fi and mattresses had the odd niggle. Showers can get busy during peak times.

Emma H.

Glamping Pod

Liked We have been visiting this site each year for about 10 years and always have a lovely stay. The field spaces are great for children to play and meet new friends, or for an early morning stroll to listen to the birds and go round the nature trail. We have camped in our own tent and stayed in the shepherds huts, pods and cabins over the years and all of them are clean and so well maintained all of the time. The shop is so handy and the heath another lovely place to walk. All in all a perfect place to relax and enjoy Suffolk!

Local attractions

After all the walking, cycling, horse riding and golfing, get stuck into the area's history at the 12th-century fortress of Framlingham Castle, half an hour's drive away. Once the refuge of Mary Tudor, this fab place now has exhibitions, themed trails and an audio tour covering its centuries of history: enough to keep young Horrible Histories fans entertained too. Arty sorts will know that Suffolk is Constable country: if this is you, come armed with camera or paintbox to snap and sketch the countryside, harbour and coastal views around the area. You could also take a trip to art complex the Snape Maltings on the Alde river, for events, activities and evening entertainment in the concert hall. Seaside? But of course. Have a stroll around Southwold and its colourful beach huts, or drive half an hour north to Lowestoft for seaside amusements and Pleasurewood Hills, a nifty tucked away theme park with rollercoasters and attractions for all. Walberswick beach, around a 15-minute drive from Heathside, is a popular spot for crabbing. If you’re staying at Heathside for a while, set off early and spend the whole day on the Norfolk Broads (about an hour and 15 minutes' drive north, or drive south for around an hour and a half to the villages of Long Melford and Lavenham with their medieval timber-framed houses.
