Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: The site owner was a lovely, very helpful chap. Check in was a breeze. The site itself is heaven a vast open field for tent campers all pitched around the perimeter, with plenty of space in between pitches. The facilities were always clean, and the hot showers were a delight. It's perfectly placed for discovering everything Norfolk has to offer. There's a wonderful butchers less than a minute from site, together with a fairly priced local shop. The icing on the cake being a dog friendly pub again, by the butchers and shop. All the locals were super friendly. I will be a regular at Park Farm for years to come, I just wished I hadn't been recalled back to work, I could have stayed there for weeks!
Disliked: Nothing!

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: The site is very quiet and peaceful and the pitch was a nice size and well maintained. We had a very nice welcome and the manager was helpful and accommodating. There is a nice pub 20 mins walk in the village which serves lovely food. The washing up areas were nice and clean. We had good WIFI but phone signal patchy. Not an issue for us though. It was a good location for us to visit different coastal areas like Hunstanton, Gorlestone etc. Will be back.
Disliked: The water in the showers were painfully hot and the temperature cannot be controlled. Its was a very hot week so was a bit of an issue. The manager did his best to solve the issue but without much luck.

From the manager: thank you for your 10 star review, ref shower temperature we have at last managed to get the shower temps down , it was caused by a faulty temp control valve which has been replaced .
Lovely area, welcoming owners, dog friendly and spacious pitches.

Liked: Lovely area to stay, owners were very welcoming and had fire pits to lend out.
Disliked: Toilets were average. Could’ve been abit cleaner.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: thank you, ref toilets with the amount of people and foot traffic it was almost impossible to keep the levels of upkeep to our usual standards, would be nice if clients did their bit to help keep them clean instead of abusing them.
Quiet, dog friendly, helpful owner, on-site shop. Great base for exploring Norfolk. Bbq/Fire…

Liked: The site was clean, the facilities were good and the kids enjoyed the play park
Disliked: The site advertised a pool but nit wasn't operational. I cannot believe I'm writing this but the shower were too hot so we struggled shower the kids. One final little thing the washing up area could really do with a bin for food scraps
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: sorry about the splash pool We did manage to get the 2nd pool up and running in time for the August bank holiday after the original sprung leaks and ruptured an air seam. Food scrap bins have been attended to. Also, we have turned down the water temperature after several complaints about the temperature and found it was a faulty valve sorry.

2 bedroom static caravan
Liked: Site was clean (no litter). Playground for kids. Location for visiting other areas in Norfolk was ok. Darby’s pub in Swanton Morley was brilliant. Great food, outdoor seating with pizza oven and bar and a playground for kids
Disliked: The 2 bed caravan we stayed in is old and well past its best days. It’s had a layer of white paint over everything that makes it look a lot nicer in the photos than the reality. Broken locks on windows, dirty stained sofas, holes in the floor around the poorly installed toilet. Broken handles in shower. Shower ran hot/cold when in use. It had been cleaned, but there were still used make up wipes and rubbish under the beds in the 2nd bedroom. Kitchen was very clean though. The WiFi doesn’t work and there is no mobile signal. This made planning activities very difficult (impossible to check opening times of attractions/ book tickets/weather/ anything…) and communicating with family staying on site impossible once one of you had left site. Pitch up should remove WiFi as a facility that this site offers. The ladies shower block had one shower that dribbled and one better one but no hooks for towels/clothes in that one. Showers far too hot for young children. Toilets regularly ran out of toilet paper. These things could be sorted for minimal expense and effort and gives the impression that the managers/owners aren’t bothered. There are people clearly living on site all year round. And also very loud music from Hunters Hall until the early hours. If you have your own caravan, it is a cheap site for a service pitch but wouldn’t recommend staying in their onsite accommodation or camping.

From the manager: Err What the heck can I say about this complete assignation of our site and facilities, Why are people so 2 faced when checking out client stated had a great time. We can do nothing about the mobile telephone networks. Our free WI-FI does work but when you get ultra-heavy loadings the system will slow right down at one point we had 85 connections on our systems which is above and beyond what the system is designed for. with reference to the showers, the temperatures have been sorted see a previous comment. Toilet rolls are 300 meters long and if people are taking handfuls of paper for other uses what can we do except check them regularly during busy periods? All in All this review has the smacks of an assignation on our business as a whole. And no you will never be welcome to come back.
