A-frame camping pod
Liked: Lovely remote site away from it all! The a frame was spotless on arrival and very well equipped. The kitchenette was suitable for anyone without any camping gear. The airfield was an added bonus and we were made to feel very welcome by the owner Steve. The children loved seeing the planes up close. The big field offered loads of space for playing games and felt safe for the children to wander.
Disliked: Honestly can’t think of anything!

A-frame camping pod
Liked: Everything. Lisa was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and showed us to the A frame. It was very comfortable and well equipped, including all of the kitchen equipment you might need, made up bedding and towels, a heater, a fan and plenty of plug sockets. It was lovely to watch the planes taking off and landing and very peaceful. There is plenty of green space for children to play and everyone was quiet and respectful in the evening. The sunrise was beautiful too. If we could suggest any improvement, it would be to fit a small blind in the upper level windows as our child likes to get up with the sun! We found this property last minute on the Pitchup website and would definitely go back.

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Amazing stay- lovely welcome from owner as well as others using the site for flying aeroplanes- thought that having one loo and shower would be an issue but it wasn’t- good space given to each pitch which allowed for feeling of privacy an so quiet- great access for walks and cycle rides as well as local pubs who were also welcoming and friendly

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: For me the peace and tranquility of this site is what drew me to book a weekend here. The pitches are on the edge of a well mowed level grass strip close to a grass runway. Private light aircraft owners use the airfield with just a handful of take offs/landings over the time I was there so nothing disturbed the peace and quiet. The owners are lovely people and always on hand to make sure you have a happy stay. The site has wifi but I didn’t use it as my mobile signal was ok and I didn’t use the optional electric hook up. The site itself is close to the village of Otley and has a couple of nice pubs within a few miles. Framlingham, Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo and the East Coast are also within easy reach for sightseeing and days out. There’s plenty to keep everyone happy. The facilities at Monewden Airfield were very clean and well maintained with a unisex toilet with hand basin and a separate unisex shower room. When the site is busier it was sometimes necessary to queue for the washroom especially early in the mornings. An additional dedicated dishwash facility would also be nice although I got by ok with existing facilities. I would recommend a stay here and would also thank Lisa and Steve for their hospitality.
