Date of Visit: September 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lesleyandtracy 2 reviews from this member

 Having coincidentally been looking at this site I discovered a colleague of mine at the same time had been staying at this site, spooky! I was told the site was a flat field, with minimal facilities and clean, just what we were looking for, so we booked a pitch.

We found the site exactly as described and we were happy with that. Being a little familiar with the immediate area and in the middle of the attractions we were also familiar with and wished to visit the site was great.

The site is close to Leiston and its shops (within easy walking distance) but also surrounded by fields and the peace and quiet that comes with that. It has the personal touch of the proprietors visiting pitches over the course of our stay to make sure all was okay and was there anything we needed? Local produce from their allotment is also on site including free range eggs.

At the time of our visit there were about 9 electric hook-ups, one shower, two toilets and an under-cover washing up area, as well as ample area for water waste disposal and rubbish disposal including multiple recycling. There is planned expansion for these facilities, still leaving pitches with ample room to make their own fun on the site.

We are looking forward to returning to the site for a future holiday as the site and area have so much to offer.

 Just spent 4 nights at this great little site. Ideally located and very peaceful, 10 mins walk to local shops and restaurants/takeaways etc owners were very friendly and helpful. Facilities although basic were kept clean and tidy. Some fresh produce on offer with payment by way of honesty box. A very relaxing and laid back site. Dog friendly with no extra charge. A very reasonable £12 per night with electricity hook up (limited number). I recommend to all

Reviewer: Merris999 2 reviews from this member

 Was a bit apprehensive due to some of the less favourable reviews. We had an electric hook up for small fridge and air bed pump.

We got there late due to sat nav power lead failure grrr, but site owner was very helpful.

The site is in it's second year and has limited facilities (at this time. Read to the end) of 1 shower, 1 male and 1 female toilet and a kitchen area with fridge, books and several leaflets about local things in the area. With standard waste and rubbish area.

The pitches are level, with a few small 'rabbit made pot holes' in the grass. There are two 3, socket hook up points with water stand point. These are situated approximately 2/3 away from the entrance and facility block, so not ideal for those with mobility issues (like we are)if you need hook ups.

I had forgotten the 'Suffoler' work day where majority of shops are closed before 6 so struggled to find some stuff as we took kids off for the day before sourcing stuff we forgot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay may be back in October and definitely next year.

On our last night while chatting to the site owner, discussing next years stay, she informed us that the site just got planning permission that evening and will be closed in January to February for the new shower and toilet block.

 Back from spending a couple of nights at this beautiful, peaceful site in Suffolk. We messaged owner before as we were not c&c members but this was no problem.

On arrival we were able to just pull up and pitch tent wherever we wanted. We chose a back corner area near the fruit plants as we don't use any electric hook up.

The toilets and shower room were always kept clean and tidy. Facilities for using a fridge and freezer which was great in the hot weather. Also, a local map and information for guests.

The owner comes round to meet you in the evening, he was a fantastic chap and very helpful.

One evening we were due a major thunderstorm and the owner offered us the use of one of his barns if it got to bad. Gave our new tent a chance to prove it's durability.

We are Geocachers and used this sight to do some caching around Suffolk, perfect base to go to plenty of footpaths and many Church micros.

Would highly recommended this site, if you are in a tent and it says full, its best to inquire as they allow tents on without electric in some cases.

Great price for only £12 per night with or without electric. We look forward to going back again soon.

 This was a large flat field surrounded by fruit bushes. Each pitch had its own ehu and water tap. The toilets, a ladies and gents behind one door both had a loo and small hand basin, behind another door a shower with plenty of room to change, both were very clean at all times but a small foot board and mop would have been nice in the shower. They were in the process of installing a wash up area and I believe laundry area. It was about a 30 minute walk into town which had paper shops, a great butchers, a good fruit and veg shop and a co-op that sold electrical goods and cloths, also a couple of pubs and cafes. I believe you could catch a bus to Southwold and other places. I never made it to the beach, cinema, museum or pool all in the area. I believe the site was once strawberry fields. There are walks in the area too. We will use again if in the area.

Date of Visit: June 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Tjbaywatch 1 review from this member

 Just spent 10 days at this fabulous site. When you arrive you just choose where you want to go on the huge site, surrounded by fruit trees and veg plots. The owners will come and find you. They have toilets a new shower and as we left they had almost finished the washing up area, all under cover. You can walk into Leiston town for all your shopping needs. Cinnamon Indian restaurant is very good. The surrounding towns and villages are all within a car ride away. Sutton woo Southwold Walberswick Woodbridge Aldborough Orford Ness to name but a few. You can walk to Leiston Abbey. A very peaceful site full of wildlife. Would highly recommend a stay here. But please keep it a secret, he he. A great base to explore the Suffolk Norfolk coast. Caravans £12 a night with hook up.

Reviewer: Ricci 1 review from this member

 This is a peaceful site, set on a former fruit farm. Pitches are not regimental and you can chose your own.

Water point next to electric hook-up. Ladies and Gents toilets were clean and tidy, there are no showers on site.

Plenty of rural walks and quite lanes for bike rides close by, perfect for those with dog(s).

Owners very friendly and helpful and the town of Leiston has plenty of shops, pubs, Fish Shop etc.

Excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Reviewer: Muzpen 2 reviews from this member

 Very nice peaceful secluded site. Plenty of space with non regimented pitches. Electric hook up and tap on pitch in large field. Easy access for motorhome and we could chose where we pitched.

Nice clean toilets. Made to feel very welcome with an information pack of places to visit etc.

On the outskirts of town with easy access to amenities within walking distance such as pubs, cafes, shops and even a small cinema and museum.

Highly recommended.
