This was our first outing in the tent for 2013, also our first ever visit to Suffolk. The whole weekend was perfect. What a fantastic campsite, friendly owners who could not do enough to help, great sized pitch with electric included, spotless facilities. The whole campsite was immaculate.
The surrounding area has an abundance of walks and cycle routes, pretty villages and some lovely country pubs.
The only downside of the weekend was that we had to go home and could not stay longer, we hope to return later in the year for a longer stay.

This is the third year that we have been to Lonely Farm. We absolutely love this campsite, so much so that we have decided to leave our caravan here, and come back several times a year. The owners daughter and her husband took over this site about three years ago and have ensured that it has stayed a friendly, quiet, peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
The site is well kept with lovely field views all round. The facilities may not be brand new, but they are kept in immaculate condition, and the showers are spacious with plenty of hot water available at all times.
It is a very dog friendly site, with lovely walks on the doorstep. What more could you ask for.

We arrived fairly late at night on our bikes but were still given a warm welcome and a comprehensive tour of the facilities and offered a cup of tea!
The tent pitch was very generously sized and included electric hookup (although we did not need or use it). Ground was flat and firm.
The whole site was immaculate and well maintained - the facilities (showers, toilets, washrooms) were not 'fancy' but clean and worked perfectly (and with proper controls on the shower - not one of those buttons that gives you 2 minutes of water that's either too hot or too cold that you seem to get at most larger operations) - and plenty of hot water when we were there late at night and early in the morning.
We found lonely farm to have a wonderful atmosphere - quiet and friendly and having stayed in camp sites and youth hostels from Southern Germany to Fort William this really is one of the nicest that we have stayed at and it has everything that you need.
The only possible criticism is that there are slightly too many laminated notices but when you have met the owners it is clear that these are put up in a spirit of helpfulness and justifiable pride that they have in their lovely site and not autocratic stuffiness.
All in all an excellent site, great value for money and wonderful atmosphere - wish that there were more sites like it and we hope to go back soon and would recommend it to anyone camping/caravanning without children (as it is an adults only site).

Stayed at this site before. The owners are never less than hospitable, despite one or two comments to the contrary. The rules referred to are just common sense ones and probably wouldn't need to be displayed if more people treated the campsite and owners with a bit more respect. Having seen the mess some people left the pitch in when getting off in the wet when the owner would pull you off in his tractor, well I would be furious too. One woman complained that she found a daddylonglegs in the shower room! These are cleaned every single day. If you don't like creepy crawlies don't come camping. I understand that the owners will be making further improvements to the site over winter, particularly the reception area and the lower field. Once again a lovely time was had.

We were met on arrival and shown around all the main facilities and then to our pitch. Despite the recent rain the ground was firm and the grass in good condition. The pitches are very generous in size.
The facilities are in what appear to be the old farm buildings and are spotless.
The showers are unisex, but this is not a problem. There is plenty of light and space in them, but I thought the water pressure could have been greater (my wife thought it was OK).
The surrounding area is lovely and the coast has plenty to offer.
We stayed for a few days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We can recommend this site.

Had a few days at this site again. Used to be run by a very nice older lady and was a very nice quite site to be on. Not any more!
Has been taken over by either son or daughter. Now you are greeted with a list of do's & don'ts with even more on A4 posters around the site. Dictate how the camper should be placed and if not quite right we got asked in not a very nice way to move. The new owners have made this site no longer a pleasant place to stay.
The showers etc have always been very basic but have had nothing done to them for years now in urgent need of up dating.
Owners would be better doing this rather than worrying about all their rules!
Very disappointing.
