Caravan rally (added by manager 08 Sep 2022)

Family-friendly secure site in meadows near Woodbridge, Suffolk
A 20-minute drive to Sutton Hoo; 25 minutes to Felixstowe beach
Dogs are welcome; five minutes’ walk to a pub

How about a Suffolk break at a spot with masses of room for kids and dogs to run around safely? A break on 4.5 acres of secluded meadow surrounded by mature trees? Dan’s Meadow is a small family-run site accessed by a tree-lined driveway with a locked gateway for extra security. It’s close to the historic riverside town of Woodbridge (10 minutes’ drive), in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so there are lots of coastal walks and bike rides to discover (most seem to include pub stops). If you’re bringing dogs, there are riverside walks direct from the site too – the friendly owners are happy to suggest touring and exploring ideas for you if you want to go further afield. Family-centric on-site facilities include a modern loo and shower block. There’s also a utility room with hot and cold running water and a communal fridge-freezer. Barbecues are permitted on site, and there’s plenty of room for sitting around the fire and relaxing with a glass of wine as you eat. If you prefer an evening stroll, there’s a warm welcome at the local pub (five minutes’ walk), and there’s a takeaway nearby too.

Liked: Good location, good size pitch and nice calm surroundings. Shower block was decent and quite clean. Would stay again!

Disliked: Less of a dislike and more a recommendation. We couldn’t find a freezer for ice blocks only a fridge - would suggest a freezer would be more worthwhile.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are pleased you had a great stay. Regarding the freezer we will have a look and see if we can get one put into the wash up area as unfortunately it is only a little space. regards Kylie

Local attractions

Suffolk has much in the way of history to discover, from walks along fortified walls at majestic Framlingham Castle or the towering keep and maze of underground passages at Orford Castle (both 25 minutes’ drive). And of course one of the big-hitting attractions in these parts is the Anglo-Saxon burial treasures at Sutton Hoo (20 minutes), all gloriously displayed in a National Trust-owned exhibition. Many local countryside walks and cycle routes include pub stops, and you can play golf or take to horseback to ride through local woodlands within a half-hour’s drive. The odd rainy day is taken care of with a swimming pool and cinema in Ipswich (20 minutes). The seaside town of Felixstowe (25 minutes) is a great day trip for splashing around off the sandy beach or checking out the arcades along the pier, while Flatford Mill (40 minutes) sits in gorgeous countryside in Constable Country and is a popular spot for walks along the River Stour and in Dedham Vale.
