Hayfield Hideaways

Liked Hayfield Hideaways is an excellent campsite, small, but you felt there was distance between each pitch due to the wild flowers and long grasses between each pitch. The pitch was beautifully mown, flat and a good size for a large tent and vehicle. The toilets, showers and dish washing facilities were excellent; clean, well provided for and with hot water. We were lucky the camp fire ban had been lifted by the Council (it was imposed due to safety reasons after the exceptionally dry weather which is understandable). The welcome from the owners was lovely.

Disliked There is one thing I'd like to be tweaked, the ability to bring our Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We have two dogs, a Jackapoo and a Staffie, but Staffie's are not allowed on site, and it would be lovely if they were.

Liked The site is small, really well kept with very clean facilities. It was pretty much full when we stayed but the pitches are well spaced out. The dog track is an excellent edition for dogs and there is a good footpath to walk into the village. We loved the trees and wild grass on the site. There is a charging point and you can have your ice packs re-frozen over night, which we didn’t use but is a great device to offer. It’s in a good location for exploring the local area.

Disliked Read the stop sign properly when you arrive. We didn’t and set-up on the wrong pitch number which meant we had to move. The site is close to the road, so although not too noisy over night you can hear the traffic, especially if you are on a pitch closer to the road. As it was pretty full we timed our morning bathroom visits early to avoid a queue.

Liked Lovely long grass between pitches, small size made it feel very relaxed.

Really helpful to have a phone charging station!

Liked Clean, simple, very well run. Natural, wildflowers. Friendly, helpful owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked Bit of a walk into the village/beach.

Liked Hey field hideaway is a quite little campsite which made me feel safe knowing there was only one way in and out as a first time solo camper. the site has working, clean toilets and showers that you can use to shower off the sand from your beach trips, and a simple but roomy washing up facility. Friday nights they have a local farm that cooks up a slight bbq which is definitely worth trying their burgers were delicious. Short drive to Horsey Gap Beach where you get the opportunity to see seals in their natural environment, Cromer is a short drive away too where you can go and watch shows on the pier or grab an ice cream.

Disliked Wi-Fi was spotty (but is notified in pitchup.com)

Liked We loved the circular plots with long meadow grass all around. It was beautiful and gave each plot a good amount of space. It’s a good location not too far from the beach too.

Disliked It would have been nice if there were a couple more toilets and showers to avoid waiting.

Liked Plenty of space on the designated pitches. Facilities are basic but perfectly acceptable, always clean and no issue with hot water. It's only a few minutes drive outside Mundesley, although we didn't feel we could walk it with young kids as it's down the road.

Disliked Minor gripe, but our pitch (18) was fairly close to the road. Although its a country lane it was surprisingly busy and noisy. Pitches at the other end of the site would probably be better.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. It’s great to hear you found the facilities clean and reliable, and appreciated the spacious pitches.

We completely understand your point about the walk into Mundesley with younger children. While it’s just a few minutes by car, we do actually have a clearly signposted off-road footpath that avoids the road entirely. It’s shown on the maps in the notice board by the washing-up shack, but if you return, we’d be more than happy to point it out in person.

Thank you also for your comments on Pitch 18. While it is one of the closer pitches to the lane, we’ve planted hundreds of native trees around the site to help screen this area. Now in our fifth year, they’re really starting to mature and will continue to improve the sense of peace and seclusion.

Thanks again for staying with us – we’d love to welcome you back again soon.

Best regards,
Hayfield Hideaways

Liked The setting was great with plenty of space between the pitches, beautiful views and nice and peaceful. The facilities were nice and clean.
With the beach in walking distance a great place to stay.

It’s lovely to know you appreciated the peaceful setting, the space between pitches, and the beautiful views. We’re especially pleased you made the most of the off-road walk to the beach, it’s one of our favourite features too.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Liked Beautiful site- very well looked after. The toilets and showers and washing up area were kept spotless. Loved being able to walk to the beach (15-20 mins) and off road which is great for the kids.
Very chilled out and quiet site.

Disliked Next to a sewage works, it did smell on and off when they were emptying it I guess or the rain?! Bacton power station lights were bright- but could still see the stars just not as amazing as some places in Norfolk.
There wouldn't be much space for the kids to just play games on the grass if all pitches were full. Felt more suited to adults.
It was sooooo quiet, we felt bad talking outside after 9pm- so it just depends on what you like.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, spotless facilities, and the off-road walk to the beach – it’s something many of our guests, especially families, really value.

We appreciate your comments about the nearby water treatment plant. While it’s beyond our control, we’re always working to enhance the natural feel of the site – including planting hundreds of native trees to help screen and soften the surroundings.

While we do pride ourselves on being a quieter, more relaxed site, we warmly welcome families. We’ve created winding paths through the long grass to encourage children to explore and connect with nature, something that’s become a real highlight for many of our younger guests.

Thanks again for your feedback, we hope to welcome you and your family back again soon.

Liked Quiet setting, plenty of space per pitch, friendly and helpful owner. Good use or solar energy for lighting. Showers good. Clean site. Helpful map of local area on display, all signage clear.

Disliked Would have liked mirrors in toilets and washing up area, as well as hooks on inside of toilets.
