Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: The owners were really friendly and helpful. On-site bar was a bonus. The site was nice and quiet, the lakes were amazing. Easily accessible from the A12.
Disliked: Toilet/shower facilities in desperate need of an update. Even some hooks in the shower room would help, nowhere to hang your bathrobe and no shelf for your shampoos etc.

Liked: Absolutely everything. Arrived on Friday to Monday for the Easter bank holiday weekend, upon arrival we were greeted right away by the owner who was lovely. Felt like a home from home 🏡 The pitch location was perfect and very peaceful. Wish we could have stayed a lot longer 😢 Can't wait to go back very soon. The bar and breakfast - 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most of all no children onsite 👌 pure bliss!!!
Disliked: Nothing to say here 👍👌
