  • Laidback adults-only site on a Suffolk smallholding near Bungay
  • A 15-minute drive to Beccles for boat hire; 25 minutes to Southwold
  • Fishing lake and hot tub on site; dogs welcome
A farm with fishing on site? How fabulous. And even better when you hear there’s a hot tub too… All of this is at The Cider Farm Fishery, an adults-only site on a Suffolk smallholding about 10 minutes’ drive from Bungay. It’s a place that’s filled with plants and farm animals, so it’s got a real rural vibe to it – but it’s also well situated for getting out to see some of the local area. Where might your local outings take you? Well, perhaps to the coast for a seaside day in Southwold, or into the Broads National Park for a day of boating, canoeing, walking or cycling through the splendid watery landscapes. You could visit a castle, tour a vineyard, see vintage planes, ride rollercoasters, go for a swim… it’s all up to you really. Then again, you may well opt just to stick around on site for a relaxing few hours at the fishing lake – it’s free for guests to use on a catch-and-release basis as long as they’ve got the right licence. And of course there’s also the option of taking a good long soak in the hot tub – heated to a toasty 38º and with a lovely view over the lake. Life on site is nice and laidback with dogs, barbecues, off-ground firepits, awnings, gazebos and the like all permitted to make life comfortable. There are also portable toilets, showers and a chemical disposal point for guests to use, and the site is overseen by a friendly host who’s always happy to offer any advice or help guests may need.
