Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Cleanliness of shower block and site. well laid out plots with plenty of privacy with high hedges. Plenty of places to walk our elderly and blind dog without leaving the site. Helpful staff.
Disliked: Unevenness of concrete outside shower block, I did trip once but then took care after that incident.

Liked: Excellent little site, hammered down with rain while we were there (one night) but can imagine in good weather it would be a really nice location. Quirky pub a few minutes walk up the road ( food served) with welcoming staff. Showers a bit tired but warm and kept clean. If we’re in that neck of the woods, would definitely revisit. Staff on site ver accommodating too.

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Great site, lovely big pitch with some bushes in between so felt fairly private, grounds kept in excellent condition. The shower block clean, warm with background music to sing along to. The location is perfect for cycling or walking. A visit to Ferguson’s Deli in Hadleigh is a must if you want the best sandwiches ever at a great price.
Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Thank you so much Becky for taking time to leave a review and a glowing recommendation for Ferguson's Deli! We are so pleased you had a great stay!

Liked: Pitch was private, quiet and level. Facilities were very good, nice toilet block with clean loos and hot showers. Loved the background music ! Staff really welcoming, friendly and helpful. We walked to the dog friendly Cock Inn for a really nice and well priced meal, 40 mins through beautiful woodland and quiet lanes with the help of the directions and map available in reception. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back. Thank you for a very chilled stay Polstead Country Park.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike

Liked: 3rd time staying here now as we love the site so much. Very friendly site and the people that run it are very friendly also. The toilet/shower block are one of the best we have used. Warm, shower nice a hot with great water pressure and can have a dance too whilst listening to the music lol. Two pubs you can walk too, one up the road 10 min walk and another through the woods the opposite way about 4 mins walk. Will be returning again for sure.
Disliked: Nothing
