  • Family-friendly farm, 20 minutes from Norwich and half hour from coast
  • Well-placed for watersports and boat trips on the Norfolk Broads
  • Dogs welcome; plenty of walking and cycling paths directly from site
Can’t decide between a bit of farm life, bright city lights and refreshing coastal explores? Ditch the dithering and pack the whole lot in to one stay at Two Jays Farm: this small, family-friendly farm is in Horstead, a 20-minute drive from Norwich and half an hour from Norfolk’s beaches. You’ll be in good company here – in the adjacent fields your neighbours will be the farm's resident horses, goats and chickens, and you're welcome to bring along a four-legged pal of your own if you've got a dog that fancies the trip. Canine companion or no, this is a fine spot for getting out for a walk. Set off on foot or cycle along woodland paths and riverbanks to take in sights like the Bure Valley Railway, Horstead Mill on the River Bure (where you can jump into the water for a wild swim if it's getting a tad warm) and pretty market towns along the way. If you fancy getting out on the water instead you can hire paddleboards and kayaks on site. Your reward at the end of a lengthy walk – perhaps a good feed at one of the nearby foodie pubs? The nearest is less than 10 minutes’ walk from the site, and there are a few more to choose from – along with some takeaways and a supermarket – in nearby Coltishall village, which is a 20-minute walk away (or a few minutes’ drive).

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The owners were very kind and friendly and gave me a complimentary bag of wood after I accidentally ordered two fire pits on pitch up!! They also gave us an extra kayak to use!! Loved the horses and alpacas on the site!! We also brought fresh eggs from the shop which were delicious. We found a pitch away from the main campers which was perfect for us as it was really quiet at night and we had loads of restorative sleep!!

Disliked The ground had lots of stingers and thistles!! Could have been more toilets and showers for the amount of people but queue wasn't long as wasn't too busy!!

The animals The showers…

James W.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Very happy with our 2 night stay at Two Jays, the owners were very accommodating and friendly.

Lots of space to pitch your tent and for children to run around. Nice to have animals on the site (in their separate pens) for children to see.

We had a lovely time toasting marshmallows over the firepit and kayaking on the river.

Local pubs were also nearby for food and drink.

Disliked The campsite was next to a main road which could be quite noisy during the night, but no noisier than some of the snoring from nearby tents!

We were happy with the toilet and shower facilities (2x toilet cubicles + 2x shower and toilet cubicles) but some people may not be. Had to queue at busy periods as you would expect.

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches

Kids all played so lovely of the evening. Michelle is a fantastic host nothing was a problem always happy to help. Beautiful being surrounded by animals all day and night.

Disliked Didn’t dislike anything.

Local attractions

Being right on the Norfolk Broads, Two Jays is well-placed for a range of water activities – you can go fishing, sailing, or rent kayaks and canoes for adventures on the water… or leave the navigating up to someone else and opt for a boat trip instead. For activities on dry land, visit BeWILDerwood (10-minute drive), a forest park full of trails, treehouses, bridges, zipwires and slides. There’s more action at leisure and shopping complex Wroxham Barns (10 minutes), where there’s a kids' farm and funfair alongside boutiques, craft studios and eateries. If you’re heading to the coast, combine beach days with some animal spotting; there’s a zoo in Cromer (half an hour) and a SEA LIFE Centre at Great Yarmouth (40 minutes). There’s a bunch of parks nearby if you’re looking for big open spaces for pleasant ambles, picnics, and kids’ play areas. Try Waterloo Park (15 minutes), Catton Park (15 minutes), Earlham Park (half an hour) or Eaton Park (half an hour). For a bit of culture, visit the impressive Blickling Estate (15 minutes) and Felbrigg Hall, Gardens and Estate (25 minutes). Or combine a trip to Norwich (20 minutes) with a look at the cathedral and Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery.
