Liked: Beautiful campsite with lovely owners. Great area for children to play and little shop for any forgotten essentials or treats.
Facilities were clean with thoughtful extras like fresh flowers and eco friendly items.
Disliked: Shower was quite difficult to use with a toddler, temperature was intermittent and could become very hot. However paying £1 was no bother and instructions were very clear.

From the manager: Thanks very much for staying!
Thanks for your feedback.
See you another time soon.

Liked: Loved this site - simple back to basics but beautifully natural - wild flower meadow in middle of field with just 8 pitches around. Attention to detail with small store and honesty box for any items purchased. Immaculately clean loo and shower in old stable building. Would recommend it and will go again.

Liked: This site is not basic at all, it is beautiful, vintage, retro and perfect! If we could model a bathroom on this we would. And Sally looks after everything constantly. Attention to detail, care and consideration for nature, the site, the environment, the clients is outstanding. We hesitate to write this review because we want it to be available for us! We’ve rebooked for August! And are passing the word to friends and family.
There is a fab store, free dog treats and everything and more you might have forgotten! Ours was pickle for the cheese sarnies!
Waking up to birdsong was a joy! We didn’t budge from the site for 3 days except to walk the dogs! It was just so relaxing. Families with children had fun exploring the woods, making campfires swinging through the trees. And it’s close to beaches a short drive away!
For dog owners this is perfect, there are footpaths everywhere directly through the site you don’t need to use the car!
10mins walk up the road is the village run pub, the food was great and the beer even better! The welcoming friendliness of everyone we met there was lovely.
On the way there we passed signs to a farm near Bungay, on the way back we popped into the best stocked deli self service that was a surprise!
We were sad we weren’t at the site on the days Sally had bread, fish and cakes!
Disliked: Nothing!
