Heathside Holidays

Liked: Great playing area, football, basket ball and table tennis for the children. Clean facilities and onsite shop reasonable and staff friendly and great wifi

Disliked: n/a

Liked: Really nice, clean site. Loads of space for kids to run and play. Heath over the road nice walk.

Disliked: Not a dislike but WiFi didn’t cover the pitch and phone signal non existent, extending it would be really good. A further suggestion would be an enclosed dog area to let them off lead as all walks were lead only.

Liked: Overall site was immaculate, shop was more than you could wish, staff very friendly and helpful. Shower and toilets were clean.

Disliked: Ratio shower and toilet facilities was very lacking for the number of guests, this needs improving as 3 showers for 14 pitches is really not enough, also whilst we appreciate the need to save water, the push button showers that only allowed 15 secs per push we found very frustrating. Also mixing of tents and caravans not brilliant as 4 consecutive pitches one side of us all in tents were out with music on all day and night, although they did adhere to the 10pm cut off point thankfully. The post with pitch number on was also not placed in the best of position as it was placed right in the middle of the boundary line making it not possible to put the annex on to the awning, maybe place this to one side or even on the electrical/water point would be even better

Liked: We had a lovely few days at Heathside on our 2nd visit. This time we stayed in one of the glamping huts compared to the shepherds hut on our first stay. Both were great for different reasons. Having the toilet in the pod and the little kitchen is a luxury as was the double bed and mattress but we felt like we had more room to store our stuff in the Shepard’s hut. We are looking forward to coming again later in the year with family as it’s lovely seeing the children have that little bit of freedom to play on the park as the site feels very safe.

Disliked: It could do with a few more toilets/showers

Liked: Nice quiet location. Plenty of space for the children to run about and they made good use of the football goals. Nice walk around the heath opposite the site. Good location as close to some nice places to visit. The glamping pod was fine as a base for a couple of nights.

Disliked: The glamping pod would benefit from some hooks to hang up coats and perhaps some shelves. Also thought a bin could be provided for general/food waste rather than just having a bin bag on the floor.

From the manager: Thank you for you suggestions
New bins and have been added to the pods this morning and coat hooks have been ordered.
We have thought about a shelf above the sofa, but feel that people would then stand on the sofa to get to it!

Liked: We were a family of 4 [children 10 + 13] staying in a clamping pod - space was cosy, but manageable. Pod had everything we needed for our two night stay - microwave, mini fridge [has a small freezer, useful for freezer blocks], kettle, dining table/chairs, sofa. Bathroom decent size for the space. Small bar of soap provided, as well as two toilet rolls. Clean and tidy. Small heater provided. Wifi was ok - but did drop in and out a bit. Picnic table outside the pod. Site was quiet, lots of space for children to play - football goals, basket ball hoop, table tennis table and small swing/slide. Well stocked shop.

Disliked: Suggestions: a couple of coat hooks would be useful, additional shelf above sofa.

The staff were professional, approachable and friendly.
Amenities great and looked after and fully operational.
Great stay!

Disliked: All was great!

Liked: Lovely location, nice site, clean and tidy, warm, and well suited to my needs. Peaceful (at least in March!) Well-stocked shop, and friendly local pub down the road (but double check opening hours before you go).

Disliked: The sofa beds are, as others have noted, not the most comfortable! Very thin and not a great design. I solved this by using both 'mattresses' on top of each other on the floor, but if there's more than two of you, this won't be an option.

The simple shepherd's huts of the kind I stayed in are 'utilitarian' rather than 'cosey' or 'cute', but they're also value for money, especially if there's more than one of you. Horses for courses :)

Liked: The shepherd huts now have a small fridge, microwave and shelving units and a good heater, along with the kettle and toaster. Despite it being a chilly February we were warm as toast. Site is lovely, showers and toilets very clean and warm. Loads of outdoor space, great for walking, or sitting taking in the lovely Suffolk sky. Great base for exploring the seaside and all that Suffolk has to offer.

Disliked: Nothing. Heathside is great value for money. The WiFi isn’t brilliant but that’s a bonus.
