Monewden Airfield

Liked The whole experience!

Disliked The airfield was stunning, the A-frame was spotless and Steven and Lisa couldn’t do enough for me, even picking me up when my taxi didn’t show! I would recommend this 100% the setting is stunning and they are fascinating people! Honestly, I would’ve paid double the price

Liked The hut was really cosy, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Perfect for a relaxing and much needed break!

Disliked WiFi and phone signal didn't really work inside the hut but no big deal, I didn't go in holiday to check my emails

Liked We were warmly welcomed by Lisa and shown to our Robin A frame, which smelled amazingly of fresh wood on entry. Lisa then offered to walk with us to show us the toilet/shower. During our stay, there was excellent communication and customer service. The A frame was clean, tidy and homely with a beautiful view of a field full of wild flowers, rabbits and nature. At night you can see the milkyway as there is no light pollution, so that’s amazing too!

We were left alone to enjoy our stay and we left feeling refreshed and happy, with intentions of returning either together or with the kids!

Disliked The only thing that I’d point out is that there could be a halfway toilet on the grounds, however I’m almost certain there are some being built.

From the manager: Halfway toilet is currently under construction and will completed in the next few weeks.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay with us Sophie, it will be lovely to have you back.

Liked The airfield surroundings are lovely, it’s a really relaxing and peaceful setting. The A-frame we stayed in (Robin) looked brand new, with a comfy bed, a sleeping platform and a sofa bed. The pod has a heater for chillier nights, a fridge and kettle with milk and tea-making things provided, electric lights, spare plug sockets and a picnic table outside. I misunderstood the meaning of “campers kitchen”, so do be aware if you book the pod without an en-suite you will need to take cooking/eating equipment. Plenty of space inside for me and 2 teenagers. I’ve never used a shower and toilet in an aircraft hanger before - that was a first! and the big sofa in there would have come in handy for a change of scenery if the weather had been bad (or for teens to hang out as the phone signal was better in there than in our pod, which was fine for us). We saw a deer, an owl, partridges and pheasants but no aircraft activity, sadly, probably a bit windy this week. Woodbridge isn’t too far for shops and takeaways. The owners seemed lovely, and I can definitely see us returning. It was perfect for a chilled couple of days in the countryside - it’s not hot-tub luxury glamping with the associated crazy prices, it’s a great deal for a very comfortable stay, on a small yet spacious site, and deserves the ratings it’s getting.

Disliked Not a dislike at all - but the addition of a microwave and a few bits of crockery in the hanger, as there is space, would make this a great site for people new to camping as all they’d need is their usual overnight stuff. Just a thought that might make this lovely place even more appealing for families.

I couldn’t see any photos of inside this pod online so have uploaded my own for future bookers.

From the manager: We now have a microwave situated in the hangar for our visitors to use. Crockery and cutlery will follow in the next few weeks, we just need to make the work space a bit bigger and put up a couple of shelves.
Thank you very much for the feedback and hope you will visit us again.

Liked Friendly and welcoming hosts. Peaceful and quiet location with beautiful grounds to wander. The A Frame was really lovely, well equipped and cosy, with more than enough space for us as a family with young children. The kids loved the pull down ladder with access to the sleeping area and thr futon bed was large enough for two. We loved the Airfield and seeing the aeroplanes and we were lucky enough to watch some take off, which was a great experience. Their is nice pub just 5 minutes drive away that serves lovely food and local beers and the rural roads are quiet and picturesque. We will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked What a fabulous stay we had! Lisa & Steve are so welcoming. The Pod is beautiful and so well equipped and all the extra touches of blankets, kitchen equipment, tea,coffee etc really made it feel like home from home. The gas bbq was a great bonus to! It Was lovely to see the planes and getting to look in the hanger and chat to the pilots taking their planes up! And having so much space to play on the fields. We will definitely return next year for another relaxing & enjoyable stay. Thank you for your hospitality.
