Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Welcoming atmosphere! Lovely pub on site Helpful staff Wild meadow environment with smaller areas mowed for pitch good amount of space between each pitch Small pen that can house dogs to keep them safe whilst you are packing /unpacking Wonderful countryside all around and enjoyed some really nice walks with the dogs on public footpaths The pub itself has many events something to suit everyone from bands of a night to wkend events

Disliked: Road can be busy especially at harvest time with tractors. This only bothered me as I was working and was getting up at 6 but was awoken 3-5am with tractors and trucks up and down - again I also pitched near the hedge with road on other side so not a sensible position altho had I not been working I think I would have just turned over and went back to sleep moral of the story is next time it’s leisure time no work!!!

Local attractions

Vintage buses, lorries and bicycles fill the halls of the Ipswich Transport Museum, where the kids can also climb inside restored period fire engines. Meanwhile, the Christchurch Mansion, on the edge of leafy Christchurch Park, houses collections of decorative objects and paintings by John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough. The seaside town of Felixstowe (half an hour’s drive) has a retro vibe, with rides at the seafront Ocean Boulevard Fun Park and amusement arcades. Grab some fish and chips or an ice cream to eat on the beach, then visit Felixstowe Pier, where an entertainment centre includes bowling and arcade games. Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape (half an hour) is a vast nature reserve with habitats ranging from beaches to heathland. Birdwatchers might head to Sandlings Forest (35 minutes) to see woodlarks, or to RSPB Boyton and Hollesley Marshes (40 minutes) to spot herons and egrets.
