Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave a review on our site. You were able to enjoy your stay with us and hearing we are doing things right helps but we will be updating everything over winter getting ready for next season. We take onboard fully your point about the road noise, if we could block it out that would be perfect unfortunately we have to work with what we have and where we are located. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Thanks again

Kelly, yes I remember you well from your stay. I was so glad you all enjoyed your stay with us. It’s where childhood memories are made and are so important. You totally ‘got’ our ethos and being able to hear children’s laughter is so heartwarming for us and makes it so worthwhile. We are happy that we could accommodate you after you couldn’t come earlier but this is a key element of how we operate. Thank you again for your kind words. We do love hearing all feedback and if we have got it right or not. We do agree that The Beeches is not for everyone and we would welcome you all back to stay with us again and you will notice great changes on the site which we have planned for over winter whilst we are closed.

Anonymous, thank for taking the time to leave a review. Yes we are a basic site but do have all essential amenities we can. A lot of people tend to do the same as you in using us as a stopover when going to Norfolk/Suffolk areas. Yes we are located very close to the A17 which as much as we’d love to stop the road noise it is something we can do little about. We have built up the banks between ourselves and the road but we cannot to a lot else. We would welcome you back again. Thanks again

Thank you for posting this review.
Okay where do I start. The couple you met were the wardens. How did you know where to pitch?Everyone is welcomed by them and you would have been no different.
The wood you so kindly mentioned is around kids play area equipment and keeps wood chip in around the said apparatus and is there as part of the safety overall. We take this very seriously.Moving this is why your beloved child was asked not to. We are not there to childmind. Incidentally, the children’s play equipment is within the wooded area of the site and children do tend to play with sticks and are freely there so that they can be allowed to do, in being children? No mention was made by your grandchild when they moved piles of small stones onto the pitch and politely asked not to do this as well as moving flag markers on the ground. This had to be put right after you left.
We spend a lot of time maintaining the site, everything has been repainted to look fresh, I fail to see how you feel the site is run down and tired. Many people compliment us on how well they think the site looks and we as a team work tirelessly to maintain this.
Sorry we do not have an onsite laundrette. There is no call for this and would bump up the price of the stay. Wi-Fi is something we choose not to have onsite not only due to the price but it encourages children to play outdoors and this has been specifically complimented.
We take the security of the site and those who choose to stay with us seriously hence why the metal gates. These serve a purpose as we have installed these after a very unfortunate incident in the past.
Again I am sorry you felt the ground was uneven, this is an ongoing struggle with local wildlife which digs this up. I do take onboard your point on the signage which we have increased this year but this is obviously not enough?
We consider our facilities to be more than adequate for what we offer.
I think we can agree that The Beeches is not for you. Maybe your expectations were too high. Lots of people find us ideal for their requirements which we strive to welcome back. In the words of our late monarch
“Perhaps we make too much of what is wrong and too little of what is right. The trouble with gloom is that it feeds upon itself and depression causes more depression”

Yvonne, many thanks for your review. We strive to improve the site and we all welcome your comments as you so obviously ‘get’ our ethos. You are right about the road noise, it would be lovely to mute this alas we cannot.

Anonymous, thank you so much for your review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure talking to you both. Children are at the heart of what the site is about and nothing gives us more pleasure in seeing and hearing children have fun. The memories you make will be priceless and we are happy you chose The Beeches to do this. We’d love to see you back soon.

Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to review our site.
We do disagree that our site is run down, you seem to overlooked the fact we are continually maintaining and updating everything on our site. This takes time and we try to avoid this when we have visitors.
Big tents full of rubbish, well we do have a marquee which has recently been cleared of owners belongings. Our wood store we have had destroyed by strong winds and this will be removed. Yes it is a poly tunnel but remains functional in protecting the wood we need to do projects. At the end of the day, I think we can safely say that The Beeches is not for you. It is a site we are continually working on and improving on. Most people see the good things we are doing and we will continue to do this.

Karl, many thanks for your review. It would be a pleasure to have you return.

Debs, many thanks for submitting your review. Thankfully we were able to help and do tend to rally round to find solutions to problems. It would be a pleasure to have yiu stay with us again

Nathan, many thanks for your review. You clearly acknowledge the thought and work that goes into running the site. It’s great for us to hear we’re doing things right. It would a pleasure to have you return again.
