A aimé Site was flat. Rain drained easily as sandy soil. Hot water for washing up. Lots of recycling containers. A great base to go and see the sites in the local area. Some public footpaths directly from the site which was nice. Welcome pack included what was going on locally. Warm welcome from site owners and Hendricks the very friendly pooch!

N'a pas aimé I think if it were busy, the number of showers would be a problem but the site is very new (six weeks old!) and so am sure this will be improved upon given time. Other that, nothing to complain about.

A aimé Very well organised site in a great location and on the way to being excellent. The improvements already made by the new owners are first rate, particularly the new toilets and showers, which are v good. Also really liked the welcome information pack and walking routes (although we still managed to get lost🤣).

N'a pas aimé More thought needed on where to place people - we are two retired people in a motorhome but we were placed next to a young (and noisy) family in a tent, who woke us early and did not respect the curfew. Perhaps consider an adults-only field or segregate tents from motorhomes - or both?

Biggest issue for us in our van was not being able to empty our WC on site due to restriction on green-only chemicals. We already had a blue pod in our van and were therefore unable to empty until our next site, two days later. This restriction was not made clear to us on booking - had we known, we’d have emptied at the previous site.

A minor irritation is having to wait for showers. Great as they are, having to wait for families to all take their turn in only two showers on a site with 35-odd pitches is a bit much! The additional portaloos were good but more showers needed! Sure the owners will add more to improve this given time.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi Stuart, many thanks for your comments, I’m glad you picked up a few things that we will improve on next year. When we are less busy we often provide greater separation between pitches and allow people to move within the site, however when you stayed with us we were 85% occupied so had very limited scope to do this. That said, next season we will be designating our south field to be adult only and this will also not have tents permitted, our middle field will be a family field but will also restrict tents, with just the largest north field available to all users. These designations will be made clearer on the booking pages.

In terms of the blue waste we do include this on our arrival instruction email sent out 3 days before arrival but we will make it clearer on the booking pages also. We can’t allow it because the local waste treatment plant can’t take it. We did allow people with blue waste to empty their cassettes into the porterloo tanks.

We are not yet on mains drainage so have limited scope to expand the showers until we do. We have plans to get connected and convert one of our empty barns into a new shower complex, this might take us a couple of years to realise.

A aimé Owners were very welcoming and amazing how it has only been open a short time and everything you needed was there. They have set the bar high.

A aimé Good size and level pitches. Clean W.C.s and showers. Very helpful owners. Good location for Snape Maltings and cycle route to Aldeburgh.

A aimé Lovely situation, very spacious pitch on sandy grass, friendly owners, lovely for dogs, the woodland edge, the wildlife, relatively quiet too.

N'a pas aimé Quite tricky getting OUT of the entrance with a caravan when the road is busy.

A aimé Beautiful setting on a farm with plenty of walks around. The pitches on the large field were massive with plenty of room for tent cars and extra shelters. Toilet and shower blocks were very clean. Enclosed field for exercising dogs and generally very dog friendly. Shop nearby. Short distance to local attractions. Very quiet and peaceful.

N'a pas aimé Not hot water for washing up. Only 2 showers and 4 toilets. The electric terminals were a large distance from the pitch allocated.

A aimé Exactly what we needed. A lovely site close to the links into Aldeburgh. Hosts were welcoming and chatty.
Utilised hot water from the shower to wash up whilst they get the hot water plumbing into the washing up area.

N'a pas aimé Super clean toilet block however I would like to have had a ladies only loo.
