The Hive shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: Such a peaceful place. Away from traffic noise and the lake is calming and picturesque as is the surrounding countryside.
My father moved the Hive. Clean and well organized. A cute little place.
Disliked: Make sure to take everything you need along with you. Around a 10 minute drive to the local village store which isn’t huge. Probably closer to 20 minutes each way to a supermarket.

From the manager: Thankyou for your review and recommendation. We are hoping to install some vending machines which will save a trip to the shop.
Although the village shop is small it holds some lovely local treats and those essential items.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Clean facilities and a fantastic view from our pitch over the suffolk countryside. Will require leveling blocks. Having the facility if using a firepit in the evenings was a lovely bonus.
Disliked: Driving in from the Needham Market direction the site is not signposted adequately.

From the manager: Thanks for your comments and feedback, We will look into better signage to reach the site.

Liked: What a lovely little site the owners take pride in there site and it shows everything was spotless and clean the showers were pipping hot big plus in my book toilets so clean and smell clean as well, bins clearly labelled washing up facilities brilliant there is washing up liquid towels etc,the views are stunning very rural it’s a little gem of a camp site, if you like fishing, wish I had packed a rod, got a little lake well stocked with carp and Rudd and roach or that’s what it looked like fire pits available if needed. We have already booked to go again.

From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely review.
We do take pride in our little site and do our best to maintain and keep it clean for our customers so it’s great to be appreciated :)
The lake is full of Carp with a few Tench & Bream so definitely bring your rod on your next visit.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked: Lovely location, lovely views. Toilets and showers were very clean. site was clean. Small site.
Disliked: Hardstanding pitches were small, meaning you have to walk on muddy ground to get into campervan when the weather isn't good.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your comments and feedback. We have the grass beside the gravel area to allow for awnings/tents etc but it does get a little muddy in the winter months.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves stay
A perfect site, we will be back!

Liked: Beautiful location, spotlessly clean, fabulous dog walks. Little extras, such as providing shower gel, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels were really appreciated. Thanks for a super stay
Disliked: Not a dislike, just a comment. Larger gravel area would have helped as it was particularly muddy around the pitch. But in no way did it spoil our stay.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thankyou for your lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed your stay, the dog walks and our little extras.
We understand your comment regarding the gravel area but it’s good to have some grass for tents and awnings.
Look forward to welcoming you back again

Liked: Lovely setting with great views lots of useful information good recycling very clean toilets
Disliked: Pitch was very out of level both ways and could not get level with ramps water fill up was very slow overpriced for what you got compared with other sites offering fully serviced pitches for less
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments and feedback. Levelling the pitches are in our to do list for this winter and the new larger water pipe is going in this week which will make the flow quicker.
We are sorry to hear you feel we are overpriced for your party size. We are a very small site and therefore chose to have a flat rate.

*Camping/touring pitch for up to 4 people
*Electric
*Clean, maintained toilet and shower facilities including soap and toilet roll

Liked: EVERYTHING!! Firstly I would like to say that Sarah ( owner / manager ) keeps this beautiful place spotless … the toilets and showers sparkled with how clean there were … every morning Sarah sweeps cleans and checks everything is perfect and you are left with this amazing scenery to enjoy whilst watching people fish in the lake … wonderful walks to go on ( and you can end up in the local pub ) The Lime Burners enjoy a pint and a gorgeous lunch … 10/10 from us .. Thank you 😊 Wendy and Richard
