Primitive grass and earth campsite
Liked: Loved the site! Plenty of space and my boys loved the little woods to walk around and explore. We were in the ideal spot to head out and spend a day in Southwold and just enjoy our break. The owner was a lovely man who was incredibly helpful and we can wait to go back again.

From the manager: Dear Janet, I am really sorry but there are 3 toilet cabins (with gents/female toilets) and 4 showers on site, which for some strange reason you weren't aware of. So there is a shower and portaloo toilet in the woods, one toliet cabin and shower opposite the house and 2 showers on the Cl site. So there are a total of 9 toilets on site, (with separated cubicles between male and female) and 4 showers, all within a 2 or 3 minutes walk from you! So I'm therefore very confused as to why you had to use your own portable loo, which definitely wasn’t necessary with that number of toilets on site (i.e. 9)! These toilets were also mentioned in 2 separate welcome emails to you before arrival. These are also always cleaned everyday by me. There is no way on earth that I would let them become too unclean. The only person I trust to clean them now is me!!! Sorry, if you were by some unknown reason not aware that there were this number of toilets and showers on site, I really really apologise for not making it clearer. All welcome emails have now been updated to make it crystal clear so that this never happens again. I can’t physically add any more toilets to the site!!!
Good

Disliked: We mainly used our own facilities but we were not keen on the mixed toilets and shower

From the manager: Dear Paul, thank you for your review. It was nice to meet you. RE : “we were not keen on the mixed toilets and shower” Just to be crystal clear here, there are now 4 showers on site, so there is definitely not just one “shower”, as you have indicated. I agree all the 4 showers are currently mixed (unisex), which I might change one or two to male and female showers at some point. I just can’t work out who should get the best shower yet!! RE: "the mixed toilets" I agree the portaloo toilet is mixed (unisex), but the other 3 toilet cabins have separated cubicles between male and female. There is also a separated gents toilet and another separate ladies toilet on the CL, which you were welcome to use, as stated in your welcome email. I normally personally clean these every day myself, so am slightly dismayed with myself that you gave it “6/10”, but I was probably chatting with you too much and not doing enough cleaning! (Note to self: less chat about rescue dogs– more cleaning needed!) I am also slightly dismayed that the Wi-Fi was only “6/10” when I have personally put one of the most powerful Wi-Fi transmitters on the market in the hedge outside your caravan on Pitch 11, with a 300m range!! I apologise if it wasn’t quite up to Romford, Essex, speeds, but then you’re staying on the edge of a wood at the end of the day. We try our best here!
