Lovely quiet site. Spotless bathroom and friendly welcome
Unpowered grass and earth campervan site
Liked Lovely quiet spot. Very friendly welcome and outline of useful information from Zoe.
Pitch was spacious with fire pit. Bathroom kept very clean and good shower with hot water. Good pub within short walk with good food. Local village also easily walkable. Good walks right from the camp site. Small number of pitches so never crowded.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked Lovely camp site. Quiet and tranquil. Really friendly host, and great facilities.
Access to hot shower, inside and outdoor toilet, fridge.
Disliked Their policy on rubbish was clearly stated prior to our booking, so this isn't a complaint.
It is however quite awkward to take all rubbish home. Especially when travelling a fair distance. Having some bins available on-site would make the stay more comfortable.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Richard, I appreciate your comments and do understand the inconvenience of our rubbish policy. Unfortunately the rubbish policy came about after a group of youngsters left 2 full bin bags of rubbish including a large quantity of uneaten food and unopened packets, lots of glass and plastic, this waste upset me so much and I wanted to try to encourage campers to actually have LESS rubbish, thus on my information sheet given to campers I state that I will accept small bags of general rubbish as well as washed recyclables that can be left in the box in the garage. However following your review I will change my policy and have provided a dustbin for general rubbish.
Thank you. Zoe

Great find in Suffolk
Unpowered grass and earth campervan site
Liked Beautiful campsite very quiet and peaceful would of stayed longer but long travel back. Highly recommend this basic campsite. Shower and wash facilities were great.The owner and mother were very lovely and helpful. Daughter loved the chicken
Disliked Only one negative was the bins which they did not have a fully recycling system for waste.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we are glad you appreciated the campsite, thank you for your comment regarding the recycling we are aware this is something we need to address, we stopped taking rubbish last year after it was abused by some guests, I spent a lot of time sorting through other peoples rubbish, I found this upsetting so felt it was better to say I don`t take rubbish! We try to be as ecological as possible here so we need to think again about the rubbish policy!!
We hope you had a safe journey home.
