Shepherd's hut
Liked The shepherd's hut was a great size and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Everyone working at Heathside was friendly and helpful, making our stay very easy.
Disliked Given the price of the hut, it would be great if bedding was provided. Otherwise, I think these could be cheaper.

FHU grass campsite
Liked Lovely spacious fully serviced pitches. Be aware though you may need longer water, waste and tv connections. Very well kept, spacious areas for walking dogs and children to play away from pitches including a nature walk. Well stocked onsite shop and off-licence. Pub within a 2 min drive of 10-15 min walk. Showers and toilet facilities kept clean. Westhanton Heath right opposite site entrance. Nice offsite walks.
Disliked Not a dislike but only 1 shower each in ladies and gents although can use disabled if free. Not a problem for us as site was quiet during our stay but if fully occupied could be an issue. Needs shelf to put shower gels etc whilst showering. No barrier security so anyone can access site although wasn't a problem.

Lovely relaxing stay.
Shepherd's hut
Liked It was a lovely relaxing and peaceful sight. Everything needed was there. Well stocked shop. Very clean shepherds hut and comfortable. Very spacious too. The facilities were very clean throughout the day.
Disliked Could do with more showers as there was only one in the ladies and you were allowed to use the disabled facilities if the shower were busy. Could do with a couple more.

A very nice site in an interesting area. We will be back
FHU grass campsite
Liked Nice size pitch with good facilities. Site had lovely green areas and having the heath opposite to walk the dog was fantastic. The onsite shop was a nice addition too.
Disliked The shower/toilet facilities are insufficient for the number of guests using them. We arrived at the end of a half term break and all pitches were taken. At this time getting a shower was an ordeal. That said, after the crowds left the facilities were more than enough. The toilets/showers were always kept clean. WiFi was very poor!

Great accomodation in a beautiful part of Suffolk.
Shepherd's hut
Liked This is the second time we've stayed here and we absolutely love it. We stayed in the Shepherds Huts which are perfect. It's a beautiful part of Suffolk with lots to do.
Disliked The pub next door. Very weird!! We went in hoping for some food found a very odd menu and was told they discourage people from buying food. If you want to eat you must go to the Crown in Westketon. It's a 5 minute drive but the food is amazing
