The Roost

A aimé Fab campsite with everything you need. We were welcomed by the very help host who was able fill us in on the essentials.
Lovely big camping space and amenities.

A aimé The chickens and horses that were close to where we camped.
The owner was very friendly and helpful when we arrived.

Toilets were clean. And the fridge/ freezer was useful as it was hot.

N'a pas aimé We didn't use the one shower, as it looked basic. But it was clean.

A aimé We loved our stay here - tranquil setting with lots of space so didn't feel over crowded. The amenities were simple but well designed and spotlessly clean. The whole place had a lovely relaxed feel about it, the owners gave us a friendly warm welcome but then just let us get on with it. We stayed here as a couple but agreed it would have been a great place to take kids when they were younger.

A aimé The tent was lovely and big, very comfortable, a great selection of furniture, the beds were very comfortable and clean. The armchairs were comfy and it was nice and private. It was located in a very quite area and you could see that it was very new and very clean. There was carpet on the floor and the zips all closed well on the tent. The chickens were delightful and the shower worked well along with the toilets which were nice and modern, clean and plenty of toilet roll. The location is beautiful and very pretty with lots of trees and easy to find on satnav and plenty of free parking. A great quiet getaway. Just a few teething issues as listed below if these are changed then it would be much better and get better reviews.We enjoyed our stay overall thank you & wish the owners all the best.

N'a pas aimé Our tent only was at the top of a VERY steep slope hill and we were given 3 wheelbarrows to take our things up there! Every time we needed the toilet or to make a cup of tea we had walk quite a way to get there which was annoying compared to the other tents located much closer. Thank god my husband did not come who has disability issues. This should be noted on the information as we would not have booked this. The tent was pitched at an angle where the double bed was leaning backwards so we had to sleep the other way round otherwise the blood rushed to your head unless you had drunk lots of alcohol the night before then Im sure you would not notice this but we were not drinking. The single beds were on a slight hill also so the kids rolled in to each other. The tent is positioned facing the sun completely so there is no escape from the hot sun in this position (thankfully there were some trees next to the tent with shade) and I would recommend facing it the other way on the other side of the field on a flatter surface. The barn had one kettle and a small fridge which was full up when we arrived even though the owner said it would have space as it was quite midweek so luckily we hadnt brought lots of food to put in it as it was full from other users so a large fridge would be great if it could be changed. An extension lead from the one and only plug socket would be helpful as the plug was always being used by other users. A microwave would be fantastic as not everyone brings cooking facilities so it would have really helped us. We had to drive quite a way to find local shops and food places so would recommend bringing your own cooking gas stove etc. We came with a 2yr old and when she saw the garden full of swing, slides, trampoline and the entrance was wide open it was hard to stop her wanting to go in and play and she was upset and I had to explain that it was not for our use so I would recommend closing this fence off.

A aimé Becoming somewhat the regular here at The Roost, I've absolutely fallen in love with the place.

The hosts are wonderful, the the honesty fridge is always stocked with decent beer, and the facilities are well maintained and in good order. Plenty of space to enjoy some peace and quiet, with the sounds of nature the gentle clucking of the chickens and the horses occasionally stomping about in the next field - it is total bliss!

I've become quite accustomed to the pitching of my tent(s) using the provided wheelbarrows to transit my kit - with practise I found this has got a lot easier.

Will continue to enjoy many camps here at The Roost.

A aimé Charming owners, clean and comfortable facilities and a beautiful location. Will be back! Also couldn’t be better placed: Star in Wenhaston and White Hart in Blythburgh both walkable; Southwold, Walberswick and Dunwich short drives away for fish and chips, swimming etc. For anyone who doesn’t know the area - Wenhaston was the stamping ground of the revered Suffolk artist Harry Becker, and he depicted it beautifully. Worth looking him up before your trip!
