Monewden Airfield

Amazing stay- lovely welcome from owner as well as others using the site for flying aeroplanes- thought that having one loo and shower would be an issue but it wasn’t- good space given to each pitch which allowed for feeling of privacy an so quiet- great access for walks and cycle rides as well as local pubs who were also welcoming and friendly

Nothing!

Everything. Lisa was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and showed us to the A frame. It was very comfortable and well equipped, including all of the kitchen equipment you might need, made up bedding and towels, a heater, a fan and plenty of plug sockets. It was lovely to watch the planes taking off and landing and very peaceful. There is plenty of green space for children to play and everyone was quiet and respectful in the evening. The sunrise was beautiful too. If we could suggest any improvement, it would be to fit a small blind in the upper level windows as our child likes to get up with the sun! We found this property last minute on the Pitchup website and would definitely go back.

Nothing

Loved the novelty of the planes in storage & the occasional take off and landing of light aircraft.

A single toilet & shower meant a short wait on occasions. But not really an issue.

Active airfield made the site very interesting
Very quiet
Beautiful area of Suffolk
Small number of well spaced pitches
Facilities were clean

One shower and one toilet (separate) to cover the whole site.
No wash basins for dishes. Had to use external tap.

Everything - the solitude but with the excitement of seeing light aircraft close up. ! An adventure !

Nothing

For me the peace and tranquility of this site is what drew me to book a weekend here. The pitches are on the edge of a well mowed level grass strip close to a grass runway. Private light aircraft owners use the airfield with just a handful of take offs/landings over the time I was there so nothing disturbed the peace and quiet. The owners are lovely people and always on hand to make sure you have a happy stay. The site has wifi but I didn’t use it as my mobile signal was ok and I didn’t use the optional electric hook up. The site itself is close to the village of Otley and has a couple of nice pubs within a few miles. Framlingham, Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo and the East Coast are also within easy reach for sightseeing and days out. There’s plenty to keep everyone happy.
The facilities at Monewden Airfield were very clean and well maintained with a unisex toilet with hand basin and a separate unisex shower room.
When the site is busier it was sometimes necessary to queue for the washroom especially early in the mornings. An additional dedicated dishwash facility would also be nice although I got by ok with existing facilities. I would recommend a stay here and would also thank Lisa and Steve for their hospitality.

Honestly the best camping trip we have done!
We booked VERY last minute (night before) and needed electric hook up as it was one of the hottest weekends of the year so needed a cooler fridge - there wasnt much availability and then we came across this little gem and im so glad of that!
The children wanted wild camping, they are 11 and 8, but we couldnt go too "wild" as we needed the electric, so this was a real balance. when it says it is quite and peaceful, it really is in the middle of nowhere - it's stunningly beautiful.
The airfield was fab and we saw a few planes take off and land, which the children loved.
So much space if your children love outdoor games, we played football, cricket, rounders, bat and ball, running races ...... the list goes on.
The owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met, so friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much - they were always available in person and if not by text/phone at all times.
The toilets and shower are so clean, i have never stayed anywhere like it for cleanliness.
At night you can see every star in the sky, it is just stunning.
I cant wait to go back next year.
we had the chance to look inside the A Frame too - which is just wonderful and so much fun for the children.
Thank you Lisa and Steve, we will see you next year.

what is there to dislike, it's fabulous! absolute A+++++++++++++

Location, the fact you can watch aircrafts take off or land throughout the day is a great touch and the kids enjoyed seeing that. Very clean toilet facilities and shower room. Quiet location, lovely field space to play ball games.

Was an amazing camp site, small and quiet, toilet and shower was very clean, had a friendly welcome by both owners, had access to fresh water, free wifi, we had a group of 4 tents and they sectioned off our own part, we watched the aircrafts take off and land which was amazing, definitely will go again

Nothing

We stayed in the A frame and loved it! You are literally in the middle of nowhere so it is quiet and peaceful and we spent the evening on the decking with a bottle of wine looking at the stars. For us, it was perfect! It's tiny but had everything we needed. Linen, plates, cultery, glasses, single stove, kettle, toaster, washing up facilities etc all provided (we didn't think it would be so could have saved half a boot load!). Powerful shower was appreciated. Great as a base to expolre the area and not too far from the coast and various other attractions. (We did Southwold and Framlington castle for our one night stay). Would love to go back.

Sofa bed was a small double, so in hindsight i would have had the kids sleeping downstairs!
