Dragonfly shepherd's hut
Liked: Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here at The Wildings, such a beautiful location and very peaceful.
I stayed in one of the Shepherds huts which was really nicely appointed with everything you could possibly need.
On arrival the hosts Anissa and Kevin had already lit the wood burning stove making it really warm and cosy.
This is such a great place to stay and very welcoming . I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We enjoyed everything about this campsite. Each plot is really spaced out which was lovely, had our own private space separated by shrubs an hedges. The sites really quiet an peaceful, with plenty of wildlife. The staff were great, really friendly an helpful.

(1) powered grass tent campsite
Liked: Absolutely gorgeous, quiet campsite. We had a huge plot overlooking a large pond. There was an abundance of wildlife, we had a hedgehog snuffling round and saw bats and an owl. Lovely spot for stargazing. Really safe for our kids to run about. They made friends with the kids in the next tent and we could relax and let them play knowing there were no cars coming near the pitches. The toilets and showers were clean and showers were hot. It didn’t run out of loo roll and I liked the fact there were extensive opportunities to recycle. We’d all love to return to this campsite and I think it’s my favourite campsite to date and we’ve stayed at a few over the years.
Disliked: Nothing

(1) powered grass tent campsite
Liked: The layout is fantastic, each pitch has loads of space and it's lovely for grass and trees between each pitch. Very welcoming to children, who loved the Wendy house.
Disliked: Only three small toilets with a shower in each, a bit problematic when all showers are in use and you or child need the loo.

(2) powered grass tent campsite
Liked: Everything! The campsite was clean, well maintained and the facilities were all very thoughtfully arranged. Best showers we have ever had on a campsite and we have been camping in our tent for many years! Lots of local wildlife in and around the campsite and it was a good location for visiting The Broads and Beaches. Anissa and Kevin were available if required but not overbearing. Very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be putting this campsite on our list of ones to return to.
Disliked: There wasn't anything to dislike.

Foxglove shepherd's hut
Liked: Very pretty campsite with glamping pod and shepherds huts. Small and thoughtfully laid out so that each pitch/hut had privacy and was set in its own area screened by hedges, trees and wildflowers. We stayed in the Foxglove shepherds hut which exceeded all expectations. The huts are allocated their own private WC, shower and kitchenette along with fridge, microwave, toaster, single ring hot plate plus lots of other little thoughtful extras. For cooking outside there was a small wooden canopy area for a single burner camping gas stove (supplied). The tents have access to shared kitchen facilities and washroom/showers. Theres even an honesty shop and fire pits available. We found plenty of lovely trails for running or walking and very quiet roads for cycling. Only a 3-4 mile cycle into Beccles for niche shops and cafes and a lovely river. Even closer is a lovely gastro pub and farm shop.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!
