Liked What a lovely little place this is
We stayed for 3 nights over the Bank holiday weekend in our tent we're a couple in our 60's
The Lady who checked us in was very nice & she showed us where everything was
It's a small site (perfect for us) the field is flat and the pitches were spacious
With views over the fields. The shower and toilet block were clean with hot water at the washing up sink also a washing machine looking forward to booking again

Liked We liked the fact that is a perfect authentic experience of English countryside. It’s not a place for all but it is definitely one for us. We slept alone surrounded by horses in an extremely quiet and peaceful easy place. We absolutely loved it.
Disliked Nothing, we loved it.

Liked If you like horses you will love this place!! We/I loved staying here for one night and was booked last minute. Was great to have a view of the horses.
Talking to the staff you can book for a riding lesson too (book in advance though to avoid disappointment!). Free WiFi was really good signal.
Disliked None

Liked A Magical Discovery in the Heart of Norfolk
Driving through the sun-drenched Norfolk countryside, we stumbled upon a place so enchanting it felt like stepping into a storybook for my Daughter Amelia, This hidden gem, nestled between an abunance of mature green trees with a large open expanse of sun lavished fields and winding contry lanes, instantly captured our hearts and helped us both unwind.
The moment my daughter caught sight of the horses, galloping, bucking, and neighing across vast open fields, the place seemed to come alive with nature replacing the silence added to be gueese walking around in search of feed.
Was great weather with the intense heat shining down, the crickets chirping and the coohing and chirping of the resident birds just added to make this an amazing experience to unwind.
The owners were incredibly knowledgeable on horse riding/jumping and were amazng trainers and it just added to the magic . Great staff, amazing location, facilities are basic but its a more unique semi-wild camping experience but with just enough basic facilities to add to the enjoyment!
Disliked Could do with more electric pitches!

Powered grass campsite
Liked Check-in staff were friendly and showed us around the site.
The field was flat, and mown.
Ample electrical hookups
Surrounded by horses, geese, orchards
Toilet block well supplied with toilet roll and hand towels
Small and peaceful
Disliked Kept missing the brown sign for camping/horses at entrance (not sure how as the road had just been re-surfaced with loose stones so we drove slowly, but went past and had to reverse each time)
Some of our party were afraid of the geese, when they marched in line across the field- but they were on their own mission and so didn't bother us.
