Disliked: The road is quite bumpy on the way out. One of my showers during my stay was ice cold (was around 5pm), the rest of the time they were hot.

Liked: Old Buckenham Is a lovely place. The pitch was perfect for us with a lovely view of the pond and cafe. When we arrived the warden Lee came over to see if we needed help with anything. We had a good long chat about all sorts. He was really welcoming and let on to us every time we saw him bobbing around in his little buggy. The toilets and showers were lovely. I usually shower in the caravan but this time I used the onsite facilities. I don’t usually like the facilities as everything is really close together, this was far from that. Loads of shower cubicle which were divided off by a wall from the toilets. The cafe was so nice, it was lovely just sitting and relaxing, having a drink by the pond. We also enjoyed Pizza Tuesday. A little pizza van came and made lovely pizza to order. The staff in the cafe were really nice and chatty. They gave some really good recommendations of places to visit on our stay. At night it was brilliant! Absolutely pitch black and no noise whatsoever. The view of the clear sky at night was amazing with all the stars. All in all it was a really good stay for us. We were there for a week and enjoyed every minute of the site and the local places to visit.
