Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Well spaced pitches, clean facilities and friendly owner. Very peaceful site, just turn up at your pitch. They tell you your pitch number before you get there. Owner, Callum nice guy, comes to see you how you are getting on at some point during your arrival day. Site well positioned for day outs to Southwold, dunwich or a bit further for Aldeburgh

Everything was great, a well thought out site with everything you need
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Pre arrival information was sent with our pitch location and details as well as information about the surrounding area/pubs and cafes to eat at, wildlife walks etc.
The site was easy to find (even in the dark) and allocated pitches were well marked out.
We was greeted on our arrival.
The pitch was large and mapped out to have its own individual space allocated, there was no tents on top of each other.
The shower facilities were clean and the water was hot hot which was lovely.
There was the lovely addition of a large dog pen so even the fur babies could run around safely. This was a particularly great facility for us as our pup is only 18 weeks old and she does not have any recall yet so it was lovely to be able to watch her running around with out a care in the world, off lead for the first time, our only trouble was she loved it so much I had to chase her down to get her out 😂
Thank you for providing a wonderful stay😊
Disliked Nothing it was our favourite site to date and we will definitely return

Great site for caravanners, motorhomes and tents.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked We booked a fully serviced pitch and was perfect for our 11 night stay. The pitches are the biggest I’ve seen with loads of space for car, caravan and awning.
Toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
Very peaceful location and a great place for discovering north Suffolk.
Callum was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed.
Disliked Nothing to dislike here.

From the manager: Dear Phil, Thank you for your review. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at our site. We're very lucky to be able to offer a site that is quiet but near(ish) to some lovely towns/beaches/historical sites to visit. We hope you enjoy the rest of the warm weather before autumn really kicks in. Best wishes, Sarah and Callum
Small, peaceful, well kept site.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked Fantastic small site. If you’re looking to escape traffic noise and the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you! Large pitches with electric and water. Spotless, modern facilities cleaned twice a day. Attentive friendly owners. I really liked the hands off check in process. The enclosed dog run is a great addition. Lots of local beaches and other attractions within an easy drive. We had one clear night during our stay and I could easily see the Milky Way. Would definitely return and recommend. Wishing Sarah and Callum all the best for the future.
