Decided to stay longer because everything was so good.
Primitive grass and earth campervan campsite
Liked Friendly hosts who are very helpful and accommodating. Lovely chickens that are not at all shy. Plus a bath with fridge, kettle and power for recharging etc. You might be luck enough to get some eggs from the friendly hens. Fire basket and wood is also available. The hosts gave us lots of useful tips about the best places to visit. Would def return.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Everything. Family run and so kind and helpful. All of the facilities were outstanding. We will definitely be heading back, our family loved our short stay.
Disliked The only thing which has nothing really todo with the place itself was on pitchup it said parking next to pitch, which wasn't the case but it was not far and plenty of wheel barrows for use to help. Not really a negative on the site at all.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked A warm welcome awaited us at the Roost. We were greeted on arrival and invited to select where to pitch our tent in the large field peacefully surrounded by farmland. You can't park by your pitch as the approach to the main field is very steep but campervans and tents were able to use the lower field and able to park beside if mobility is an issue.The small barn is equipped with a kettle and a fridge freezer which was perfect. There are 2 communal toilets, all very clean and one shower at the moment, again all very clean and with hot water. The site is about a ten minute drive to the beautiful Southwold. We would had a lovely stay and would highly recommend the Roost.

Primitive grass and earth campervan campsite
Liked Wonderful hosts who welcomed us warmly, and even calmly dealt with us blundering in and getting bogged! Fun to see the 1940s tractor put to work. The facilities are basic as expected for a farm campsite but all clean and tidy, lovely warm shower, honesty shop, things for the kids to play with. Would love to have stayed longer. Location also great, close to river and sea for holiday activities
