Liked: Lovely campsite, great clean amenities, and a lovely location to explore Suffolk and Norfolk. Great for camping with young children. We'd recommend Covehithe beach (20 mins) for dogs and children, and Sutton Hoo (60 mins) for history. Liked the Ecofriendliness, easy recycling.
Disliked: - Road noise - No view - some pitches were 'nicer' than others. - Never met the owners, but they did WhatsApp message.

Liked: Loved this site. So charming, many thoughtful features like honesty box system, in the kitchen there were snacks, bottles of ketchup, fridge and freezer available. Free roaming chickens kept us entertained. Kids run a little tuck shop some evenings where we could get goodies like fresh laid eggs and marshmallows for the campfire. Fire system was also great very good burning firewood properly seasoned to purchase on site. We will absolutely be back again possibly once a year and with more family members. Location was so perfect.

Liked: We received a lovely welcome and the facilities were great including Wi-Fi. The pitches are all separate which meant you had a good amount of privacy.
Disliked: The parking was a bit tight, but I believe that was due to others bringing more than one car. Our pitch was quite muddy where the grass had died, resulting in quite a messy tent. Unfortunately had some noisy neighbours who weren’t too good at observing the 9-9 quiet hours.

Bumblebee camping pod
Liked: Loved everything about this small but perfectly formed campsite. Our pod was extremely comfortable and had everything we could have wanted. I particularly liked the way the site is set up giving each pod or camp area privacy with meandering footpath’s mowed into wildflower banks. Great private bathroom with our pod too! Will definitely book again!!
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Lovely site. Wanted something quiet, yet family friendly. Ideally set just on the Norfolk / Suffolk boarder, we were 5 mins drive from Beccles for all amenities you could need when camping - including tesco delivery and even dominoes delivered for the first night when we had no energy left to cook.. just make sure you give them proper directions to the campsite! Onsite, the owners were very helpful, and despite a minor issue, they couldn't be more supportive! Lots of wildlife, and despite its size, you don't feel you're on top of one another. There's plenty of facilities with fire pits for hire, toilets and showers, washing up area, fridge, microwave, hot plate, and kettle. We used the electrical hook up pitch as we were there for 9 nights. Will definitely visit again. Well worth every penny.

Liked: Superb. Friendly and welcoming. Beautiful quiet site. Bat houses, cat and chickens wandering around. Flowers, trees, open fields and twinkly stars. Great little communal kitchen with fridge, freezer, microwave and kettle. Snacks and biscuits through honesty payment. Wi-Fi and good mobile reception. Very clean showers and toilets. Little tuck shop in the evening. Cute playhouse filled with toys. Fire pits with grills for cooking and firewood etc to purchase. Perfect environmental ethos with good recycling facilities and naked sprout toilet roll! Everything has been thought of to ensure you have a relaxing stay. Will certainly be back and highly recommend.
