Date of Visit: June 2023  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Campervan
Nights stayed: 2 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Bigsmudge 8 reviews from this member

 Really nice place to stay. First come first serve pitches. The majority facing the lake. Metered electricity which I liked. We use very little and its nice to know we are not subsidising the bigger units for a change.

Clean facilities and helpful lovely owners.

It was time of year for visiting geese to breed and obviously a popular place. Lovely to see but does mean lots of goose poo.

They are going to open a little bar on site soon which should benefit them as the nearest decent pub requires a car.

We tried Ffolkes (25 min walk) for food and found it limited, strange for our tastes and overpriced.

It was very hot when we were there but nice breeze off the lake. All grass pitches.

We enjoyed this site and I would recommend.

 A wonderful site. Mark is very helpful and obliging, and the site, which is adult only, prides itself for peace and tranquillity.

The lake and the sunsets are stunning.

Spotless toilets and showers, all recently installed. We will return!

 Found the site to be exactly as described,

Very clean facilities

Enjoyed the fishing on site

Also lovely walk to Sandringham house on footpaths and quiet roads.

Mark was a perfect host and look forward to returning again in the future.

 As we only decided to go away for Easter at the last minute so vacancy's were in short supply, due to Gatton Waters only opening after 5 years on 31 March 23 we managed to get a pitch and glad we did.

The site is adult only and has a large lake at its centre surrounded by grass pitches.

The owners are friendly and accommodating giving you a choice of pitches and show them to you to let you choose and explain the EHU meter which is card operated and you pay for both your pitch and electric on departure, the electric card is charged with £20 and you load it into the meter, if you need extra you can get it topped up and if you have credit left you can ‘recharge’ it back to the card for a refund, the cost of electric now is a bit of an eye opener as we used about £5 per day with the heating on for a couple of hours in the morning and about 4+ hours in the evening.

The EHUs are spaced all the way round but a long lead can be required. Check in is late at 3pm onwards with 11am departure but we did see some arriving earlier than that.

The toilet blocks are to a high standard having been recently refurbished and they are scattered round this large site for for easy access, obviously with a large lake there is a lot of people going for the fishing.

The site is off a main road so access is great but the longish road from it into the site is narrow so you wouldn't want to meet another caravan/motorhome hence the staggered dept / arrival times, the main road is sufficiently far enough away that traffic noise is muted bar the odd motorbike etc.

Noise wise because its rural its quiet and comes with noises we city folks don't generally hear (Im looking at you Mr Owl and the extremely vocal geese) lol, its also dog friendly.

Speaking to Matt one of the family they intend to apply for a drinks license so hopefully next season the bar should be open.

Entry is by fob operated barrier and there are no lights round the site so a torch is handy.

Thoroughly recommended.

 It is with great regret that I have to advise you that this site is now closed due to owners ill health. We will miss it terribly. Have had the van on the site as a seasonal for some years. It was so good to just 'go' whenever we wanted.

 Very nice site, friendly owners, down side is the site is closing down at the end of September, the local pub in the village is expensive for drinks not sure about the food, local store and petrol station competitive prices.

Reviewer: Rosie n Jim 2 reviews from this member

 Absolutely gorgeous, peaceful surroundings, situated round a lake packed with fish. Wildlife in abundance. Ducks and moorhens running around.

Ample room around the van offering privacy.

Adults only provides peace and quiet from usual hustle and bustle.

Clean shower blocks and friendly owners.

Would totally recommend it.

Reviewer: The highbury 25 reviews from this member

 This was our first visit. We were met by the owners they was very friendly they escorted us to where we needed to be. No matter where you was pitched you had a lovely view of the lake which was very lovely to look at and to watch the sun go down over the lake was fabulous. There are showers and toilets there although clean but could do with being modernised. The site was clean & tidy although we found a few places where dog owners hadn't cleaned up after there dogs which slightly let it down but apart from that a nice site. There is a fish & chip van that visits on Friday night which is a plus. The only thing that I think the owners need to think about is putting more elsan points in as where we were pitched it was quite a walk and we aren't all good on foot. But apart from that as we say it was a lovely and quite weekend. Would like to say thanks to the owners as it is very well run
