Once settled in, enjoyed the site very much.
Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked Lcation. Large holiday park had good swimming facilities, fishing lakes were nice. Club house clean and staff were friendly. Touring field was nicely kept and well mowed.
Disliked No staff at field for check in, no cash accepted, toilets and showers need updating. Mop supplied for shower floor….but not in a bucket of disinfectant, just placed on the floor. Was not advised that a swimming pass was needed, but rectified easily at holiday park reception.

Quiet and Peaceful . Mostly seasonal pitches.
Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked We were 2 older couples with caravans and this site is very quiet and peaceful. Facilities are old but clean.
Disliked There is no physical reception on site. A notice tells you to ring on arrival and they give your allocated pitch numbers. However, the pitches given to us were already occupied, as were all the others suggested. It transpired most of the pitches are occupied as seasonal pitches but they have no idea which ones. We had specifically requested 2 adjacent pitches when booking but there weren’t any. Eventually, 5 phone calls later while they were “sorting it out” we found a young a girl by one of the outbuildings and pointed out the only space for us was in the tent field. She kindly agreed to letting us pitch in there as it was empty and would let them know - all this took place in the pouring rain so we were not happy at all. However, we loved the peace and quiet there and it turned out just right for us.

Lovely site with decent enough facilities. No staff to be seen
Electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked So quiet and peaceful.
Dog walking path right there.
Facilities were clean enough and nice and close.
Disliked Advised to call for the warden for any help, which we tried to do on arrival-went straight to voicemail and no one returned our call for the entire stay.
So that wasn’t that helpful.
Never saw any staff.

For £40 a night I expected more. Would not return to this site
Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked Quiet
Disliked No reception on site
Given an already occupied pitch via a note on the notice board ( we were not the only ones) had to go to reception at Carlton meres site next door where they didn’t really care, so picked my own pitch, was then approached by a staff member that said she had written the list and I was in the wrong place ! I pointed out that ‘my’ pitch had a residential caravan on it…..
Toilet block needs up grading
Lack of proper organisation.

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked The area has many walks around and is close to aldeburgh for day trips. Shower blocks are hot and clean. Toilets were ok but they didn’t get checked over the time we stayed so they got very dirty.
Disliked Very unorganised when booking through pitch up, the reception at the holiday park where you have to go don’t know any of the details. We had to go in the side with the campervan which made it very difficult to pitch the tent due to hard stones.

Un level grass pitches. Peaceful, clean, and No staff to be seen.
Electric grass touring caravan pitch
Liked Quiet, clean, well maintained .
Will book again but NOT THROUGH PARK HOLIDAYS
Disliked No welcome pack as advertised by Park Holidays on arrival at the reception. So not aware of accessibility to main attractions on main site.
Greeted warmly on entry to reception but turned a little off once l told her l was in my own tourer for Lonely Farm. I got the impression l wasn't worth the time as she got up and proceeded to walk away to another member of staff when she hadn't finished with my directions to The touring site.
Also l was given a plot number only to find a seasonal van already there. So l just picked where l liked as there was no one around on site and no answer from the number provided on site to reception.
