I loved this site, the owners are very welcoming and helpful, it's very good value for money (I loved the fact that money from ice block freezing when to charity). I thought the showers and toilets were fine, even over the busy last weekend of the school hols, queueing was minimal, and clean too. I hope the new facilities don't drive the prices up too much and make the site too commercial, because I love it as it is!
This site left us divided. My husband says he would visit again, while I couldn't wait to get away. (We moved on after one night). It is relaxed, the owners are friendly, it is very cheap and there is a lot of space. It is lovely that they allow campfires - and infact with the sale of wood and marshmallows you could say they are positively encouraged. During our stay it was very quiet and peaceful in the evening, and with no light-pollution the night sky was beautiful. By day, there is plenty of space for riding bikes, ball games etc, and woods for further play or recreation.
Camping is in a very large rough-grassed field with tree borders to two sides. There are no allocated pitches and at our visit most campers chose the more sheltered edges. There appears to be no restrictions on where fires can be placed resulting in many discarded firesites polka-dotting the field. Our children delighted in digging in these sandpit style. (Very messy!)
The toilet facilities are in the main farm courtyard and therefore subject to straying chickens and farmyard smells. For women there are two toilet cubicles with hand basins. These are not too old and were reasonably clean. However, for a site of this size I thought them inadequate. They opened directly off the farm courtyard, so all dirt, drafts, insects and stray animals come straight in. While they have a small handbasin, it is right next the toilet bowl and not somewhere I would want to hang around long enough to wash or brush teeth. Next-door are two coin operated unisex shower cubicles - they did not look inviting. The Gents loos looked like those dilapidated facilities you find in old pubs. I didn't go in, you can see as you walk past. The promised new toilet, washing-up and laundry block currently consists of a roof but no walls. Their website now says due for completion this autumn. I would certainly phone to check if this is important to you. I had expected it to be completed by late summer and wished I had asked!
Just back from bank holiday weekend at Breck Farm. As a regular at this site we had another fantastic long weekend. Stayed Friday to bank hol Monday, not overcrowded but busier than usual.
Yes the toilets have still to be done, but we have never been to bothered by this.
Breck farm is a basic site, sometimes loud with music and dogs barking(ours barks at everything and everything) but if you like having fun,in relaxed woodland setting then this is the place to be. Wouldn't advise it for the quieter more reserved camper, but then the other field can be much quieter if thats what you want.
The campfires really do make such a difference, if only more sites offered it.
We will be back again soon, have now been 8 times in past 2 years (me, hubby, kids, 11 & 15 years and noisy dog)
We enjoyed our stay here, the showers and toilets suffice if others are considerate and being an early riser I did not usually have to queue. Walking to the toilet can be a trek but not huge issue. Good that although a large number of people on site , did not feel cramped at all, nice to see kids being kids, nice to have option of campfire. Friendly owners, nothing too much trouble. Reasonably priced per night
We have just returned from spending a week at Breck Farm.
The week was very good value at £13 per night,inc a hook-up.There was plenty of space,and the site was relaxed and quiet.
As stated by previous reviewers,the toilets and showers were not brilliant. I would be reluctant to go back until the new (32) shower block is finished.The showers cost £1 for five mins, and you have to keep your hand or bum! on the button to prevent the shower turning off. Queues built up in the morning for the four showers.( thank God for wet wipes and strip washes).
If you want a camp fire, you can't have a hook-up, or visa - versa. (different parts of the field).
The only advice I would give people, is take your own loo and washing- up bowl. It was also very windy at times, as the site is quite exposed. The wind broke one of our tent poles. Luckily we used strong tape to fix it, before getting a replacement pole from the camping shop at West Runton. Definitely a site to use Delta Ground Anchors on. The sandy soil,however, dries quickly even after a bad thunder storm!
Overall it's a good site, but it is not pristine.
Finally,we can recommend the fish and chips shop on the Quay at Wells and the lovely (dog friendly) Gardens at Fairhaven at South Walsham, 9 miles SE of Norwich.
When we first pulled up we wasn't sure as it is a farm but once we had signed in at the house we drove round the corner to acres of land - we had never seen so much space.
We were only a way for 2 nights so did not adventure out on walks but did have a nose in to the lovely pine woods that surround the site and we can't wait to come back next year with our bikes to adventure.
We did find on the Saturday there is a market in Weybourne in the main car park (taking up about half) so if wanting to spend the day there on a Saturday be prepared to wait 5-10 mins for a space.
Yes the facilities that are there at the moment are very basic but I found them to be as clean as any busy site in peak season and if you would like to shower my advise go a little later in the day or get up first. My only complaint is a better light in the shower
We are already planning our next trip back there - Thanks to the owners for a lovely relaxed site and allowing camp fires.
Just back from breck farm what great site,large flat pitches,camp fires,acres of space for the young ones to run about,woodlands to cycle,walk dogs in and also very cheap.The only downside was the loos which have been mentioned in other reviews,but the new and very large toilet block with showers pot washing area and laundry area was well under way.Once these are complete this will be a perfect site for those who don't want clubs bars etc,with out a question we wil return to this site again and again well done to the site owners on giving us this type of site.If you have a young family and want to give them so real freedom without having lots of rules this realy is the site to go to.
Loved it-very friendly owners and relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of space and could choose own spot. Facilities clean and didn't have to queue but I guess it could be busy at peak times but I see a new shower block is planned. Great walks and cycle rides from the park with the steam railway within walking distance at Weybourne and the sea at Sheringham and Cromer close by. All the locals seemed very friendly and ready to give advice. Will certainly visit again asap.
Just returned back from a weekend away at Breck Farm and have to say what an excellent campsite, we were made to feel very welcome from the owners of the site. (rare to find this in the UK anymore)
The location of the site is superb and being close to some gorgeous coastline and plenty to see and do all around we will definitely be visiting again shortly.
The campsite itself is set in very natural surroundings and the fact you can have a campfire adds to the pleasure of the stay.
Anyone into sea fishing must visit Weybourne (only a couple of miles away) the fishing is excellent and because the sea gets deep very quickly here you don't have to worry about being able to cast out very far :)
Great laid back site, yes the facilities are basic and a long way from the tent but a small price to pay pay for a great w/end. Campfire is a must only bad comment is that a lot of dog owners didnt keep their dogs on leads which was a bit of a pain with our dog who was on long lead all the time. 1 dog in particular was running round all morning on its own the owner didnt know where it was. Will be back soon but probably during the week rather than w/end when its less busy.
Thanks to all who wrote reviews otherwise would not have known this great site was there.
Visited here after reading that they allowed camp fires, which we thought would be great fun for the children. Stayed for 2 nights during the May half term, and returned 3 weeks later with friends for another two nights.
The fields are really big so you could have pretty much as much space as you wanted. Pitch anywhere, have a fire, barbecue. Very laid back. Our friend took his dog for a walk in the morning and walked as far as Weybourne, which is on the coast. He said it was fantastic being on the beach watching the sun rise. During the day we walked to Weybourne station, which is a steam railway. Watched the trains going in and out while having lunch in their tea rooms. Only took about 20 mins to walk there. Haven't explored any further than that so far.
The farm sells wood for fires, marshmallows for toasting, free range eggs, potatoes and home-made marmalade. Absolutely terrific place. The only downside is the lack of toilet and shower facilities. As an early riser I didn't have to queue at any stage, but I'm sure that later in the day it would have been busier. However, they plan to have a big shiny new shower and toilet block by the summer, which should improve things a lot. Will be returning in 4 weeks' time for another weekend.
Have just returned after spending the late May Bank Holiday at Breck Farm. Although the weather did its normal for a Bank Holiday we stayed put and had a fantastic weekend.
The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and after pointing out the fields to camp in, off we went to pitch our tent. Two huge fields in which you can have a campfire, which I have to say made the weekend. This is the first site we have been on which is camping at its best. My two children were concerned there was no park to play in or shop to go in, or clubhouse! But as we pointed out there were woods to play in, trees to climb, walks to go on, and marshmallows to toast!
The only minor downside is that the toilet facilities although clean, are a long walk, and in busy times with only four showers, can be a long wait. Although saying this there are plans to build a new block opening this summer. In hindsight though this hasn't put us off and we are planning to go back.
Lots to see and do around this area, we took our two kayaks and went to Blakeney on the Saturday. The sea was just a little to rough for the children to handle, but as this is an esturary when the tide goes out its brilliant for them. Had a fantastic day (even caught the sun!). Both my husband and I know this area very well after spending many family holidays in our youth caravanning, so on rainy days there is lots to see and do. The children and I had a ride on the steam train from Sherringham to Weybourne which they enjoyed.
Had a thoroughly brilliant time at Breck Farm, would recommend and will be visiting again ourselves very very soon.
Just spent the late May Bank Holiday weekend at Breck Farm and we were really impressed. We do prefer more basic 'working farm' campsites than holiday parks, and Breck Farm didn't disappoint. It's basically a huge flat field surrounded by woodlands. We did some walking and cycling - you don't have to look far to find good routes and places to visit. It's half a mile walk to Weybourne station on the preserved steam Poppy Line for example.
Yes the facilties are basic and somewhat few but they are clean, and the site is very good value. It wasn't the best weather this weekend, but we were allowed to light a campfire to keep warm and cosy. I expect we'll be going back.
We just spent the May bank holiday weekend at Breck Farm and are definately going to go back. We thought the weather would be a bit rainy but we had such glorious weather. The site was huge and since the weather forcast was rain for most of the UK the site was not too packed. We stayed in the area where we could have camp fires. The owners were really friendly and helpful, they sell bags of wood there for £4.00 each and eggs from their chickens. The camp site backs onto a woodlands so you can go for nice walks. The toilet blocks were good but basic, especially the gents and a bit of a trek from the site. The showers are in a newer block and were much nicer than ones I have used in other sites. Good size and the water actually shoots out and you don't end up hugging the wall! £1.00 a time and lasted about 8 minutes. But they have plans to build a bigger new block that should be open this summer.
Cromer, which was about 7-8 miles away is a great seaside town. They have a pier that you can watch people crabbing off of, amusements, and really good dressed crab! Holt is another town about a 5 minute drive away and really great for shopping and pubs. Go to Bakers and Larners of Holt to the butchers for some great meats you can bbq and their cheese counter for snacking!
Overall our trip to Breck Farm far exceed what we expected and are looking forward to our next visit. Definitly recommend this site!
