Stayed here for Easter, lovely, peaceful and well maintained site. Fully booked for the Saturday and Sunday nights. Lane down to the site very narrow, hence the no arrivals before 1:30 rule, a few passing places but you wouldn't get 2 units to pass each other. Friendly staff on arrival, small shop in reception, but had the basics and you could order fresh cooked bread and papers from reception. Female toilet facilities were great, plenty of hot water, underfloor heating and plenty of room. Although there were only 3 showers in the main block, we never had to queue and they were always clean. Husband used the main shower block and ended up with a trickle out of the shower, so ended up using the 2nd block from then on, although only 2 showers in here, he also never had to queue. Even had a dog wash area outside, although we don't have a dog, thought this was a great idea. Looked like a good dog walking area too. Didn't try out the restaurant/bar, so unable to comment. As the ground was very wet, they offered to put your unit onto your pitch even though we had a 4x4. Some others didn't bother and got a bit stuck so needed help anyway. Have plenty of recycling bins around and even ask you to recycle your waste water on the plants/trees. Would return again, would like to stay on the CCC CL section they have there.
This is a stunning site with a wide variety of users accommodated. We were on a fully serviced and adults only pitch but all of the areas looked just as nice. Although large, the fact that it appears to be split in to zones makes it much friendlier and smaller. The facilities were immaculate - we used the smaller, very new and modern toilet block, which was always clean.
The restricted access was not a problem as everyone seemed to take notice of the strict departure / arrival cut-off times. We didn't use the bar / restaurant facilities but others said they were happy with it. Despite earlier comments about peace and quiet, we were aware of the nearby road (perhaps the wind was in the wrong direction) and unfortunately for us, local farmers appeared to be making the most of the good weather and started work at about 5am, but that's just a seasonal thing. The other down side was that we were pitched under an oak tree which decided to throw acorns at our caravan all day and night. The trees also meant we were in shadow from about 10am at this time of year, so whilst people on the other side of the field bathed in autumn sunshine, we didn't.
Would we go back - oh yes. Its a lovely site, well managed, beautifully maintained and very well positioned for where we wanted to visit.
What a wonderful site, spent a week on the adults only field and so peaceful but well looked after. Really efficient welcome with site brochure map and rules. Little shop very useful and being able to order papers is a real bonus. Our pitch was flat and a good size, the whole site is divided by mature trees and bushes, everything was kept beautifully. Very easy to see the reason for arrival and departure rules as the lane is very narrow, but we had no problem.
Main block had washing area with big sink and 2 huge machines and a drier and an iron and board. , plus toilets and showers all kept very well. The only problem was once I'd hand washed my items (water pressure meant sink filled quite slowly but hot water was free) the spin drier was out of order so drier took longer and cost more.
There was a newer toilet block nearer to our pitch which was vey good, 2 toilets, 3 showers and 2 sink cubicles. Water was hot and free and pressure ok. Only problem was the shower splashed into drying area and floor did get really wet, a curtain or duck board might solve this. However as the only way to do anything after your shower was mop and bucket many showers were left very wet. Have used a sqweegie mop before and this would be ideal here.
Wifi was good even on adult field and cost £15 for a week. Special path for dog walks around the site was very useful and well used.
Altogether a wonderful site well worthy of very high rating.
We have just returned from two week holiday at a great friendly holiday park, all the staff were excellent the site was kept clean and tidy and pets are welcome too, the site is within easy reach of the major attractions within north Norfolk, the entrance road is narrow hence the strict arrival and departure times.
The food in the restaurant is of a very high standard and very enjoyable, toilets and showers are very clean with constant hot water at all times.
There are several chemical disposal areas which makes a change from those sites that have only one.
Having negotiated the narrow access lane hoping that nobody comes the other way, we were really pleased with what we entered. The site was lovely and clean. We opted for the adults only area and again were plessed with the layout and space. After our first night the quietness of the location was amazing with only birdsong in our ears. The toilet facilities were pristine, the only comment would be that 2 showers/toilets in the mens block could be an issue when the site is full. The bar was small but pleasant. Overall a wonderful site and well worth a re-visit.
After a drive down a norrow twisting road (reason for entry/exit times) we found ourselves at the Old Brick Kilns after a very laid back and friendly reception our membership card was photocopied and we were on holiday, we had been allocated Primrose pitch which is one of the 5 Caravan Club CL Pitches with a lovely view and surrounded by hedges nice and private with enough room between pitches to be neighbourly but not on top of each other, gravel pitches with Fresh Water, Waste water, Electric, TV Point and picknic table. We piched the van put up the awning, had a cup of tea and headed to the showers, and WOW what great showers well full wet rooms to be honest, big walk in shower, with unlimited supply lovely hot water, Toilet, Big mirror shaving point, Hair dryer, Hand Drier and a wonderful heated towel rack to warm the towels while you shower these are the best shower facilities I have ever used on a caravan site. The camp shop has everything you might need and not overpriced, there is a restaurant on site which we will be trying during the week as the menu looks good. This is what caravanning should be about a spotlessly clean site with a warm welcome and peaceful Both my wife and I work in a fast paced environment and this site allows us to relax and charge our batteries, in a peaceful tranquil environment, I can see us becoming regulars here. Well after a great nights sleep I can't believe how quiet and peaceful this site is, just the sounds of nature, seen birds some of which I've never seen before, (must find my bird spotting book up), what I think was a weasel boy he was quick, lots of rabbits, and sure I heard a fox last night, we're loving this site truly a gem of a place. Now about to sit outside and enjoy the sounds with a book and a cup of tea. Heaven
Beautiful setting and very tranquil. Staff were lovely and polite. However, if you are taking a tent and require electric hook up, there are only a couple of pitches level enough to prevent you rolling out of bed. We were lucky as not busy and managed to pick one of the two reasonably level ones. The shower/ toilet block very clean and tidy, but they do need to get the showers sorted as not very powerful - maybe something to do with water pressure. Would stay again as long as could pick tent pitch! If you have a caravan it would be ideal
We visited in April 2015 during the Easter school holidays with our tent. The first thing to note is the single track approach to the site. Arrival and departure times are strict to avoid meeting a caravan coming the other way, which you would not want to do! We did not have any issues with this, but just be aware.
The site was very quiet, just 2 other tents in the camping field. There are only 2 totally flat tent pitches if you want hook up, you can guess which 2 pitches were taken :) We picked the least sloping pitch, which was not too bad as we were using our small tent set up. The slope is not constant, so a longer tent would have been sitting partly flat and partly on a slope, which may have made it hard to get a satisfactory set up. There were large holes in our pitch and the adjoining 2 pitches, rabbits I assume. But these could do with filling in as they were slap bang in the middle of each pitch, so no avoiding them. We pitched so the holes would be under the beds not the living area.
The site is beautifully kept and the caravan areas, especially the caravan club area, are lovely. People clearly keep their vans there and come back again and again to the site and I can see why. It would take some beating. One of the toilet blocks is of an amazing standard, more like a hotel! There is a small playground, a shop and a restaurant, although we were not there long enough to use it, it looked very nice.
There was no road noise, we awoke to a wonderful dawn chorus of birds, and the kids enjoyed hearing the owls and cuckoos. A very peaceful and rural spot to camp, we had lots of room for the kids to play and explore. On the last day we had the camping field to ourselves, could get used to that!
Would we return? Yes, but I would come out of main season again to have the best pick of available pitches. I would say for caravans, this is a 10 out of 10 site.
We totally endorse all the positive things other reviewers have said about Old Brick Kilns. The toilet/shower facilities are amongst the best we have found anywhere, and the spaciousness of the pitches exceeds most of those on the 'Club' sites. Our pitch had full water/waste hook-up, which was very convenient, though getting the waste water to flow down the drain was tricky (a common problem on super pitches, we have found). It was slightly disappointing that we were charged full site fee for a night that we cancelled because of the risk of travelling in high winds, especially as the site was very quiet. Maybe a reduced charge would have been a nice gesture. The site has a 'no arrivals before 13. 30' policy. This is for the very good reason that the access road is very narrow for quite a long stretch and therefore the time should be observed.
We used the site as a base for visiting Thursford show, as the 'theatre' is only 5 - 10 minutes away by car. If you don't know about this, try Google. It was brilliant!
This was our second visit to this lovely site. Our first visit, in April 2011, was our first holiday with a touring caravan, and we were very impressed with the place. So we decided to make a return visit and were delighted to find that it was as good as we remembered. A warm, friendly welcome, large pitch, quiet rural setting. The site is beautifully maintained, with all facilities and the toilet block is clean and warm. The dishwashing/laundry area is spotlessly clean. We had a meal in the on-site restaurant and it was excellent, reasonably priced and friendly service. There is also a small shop selling basic essentials. Fakenham is a short drive away and has all services, including two large supermarkets. The site is ideally located for visiting Sandringham, the North Norfolk Coast, Norwich and the Norfolk Broads. Excellent all round.
We stayed at the Old Brick Kilns for a week Sept 1st to 7th, and were highly impressed with everything about the park. The owners, Alison and John were probably the friendliest and most helpful people we have met on any touring park, and we have been caravanning now for over 40 years. The park itself is kept in immaculate condition, and the toilet blocks are kept in the same condition.
We stayed on a fully serviced adult only pitch and found that most of the campers on our part of the site were of the same opinion as ourselves. We would certainly return to this site, and would highly recommend it to anyone
Spent the first week of our two week holiday at this wonderful site and wished we had stayed the second week also.
The children loved it and made many friends. They loved the outdoor draughts game near to the bar / restaurant which provided great meals.
The site was well laid out and kept to a high standard. The toilet blocks were clean at all times of the day and night. The narrow track leading to the site is manageable and as previously described, with the departure and arrival times being as they are there is never a passing problem.
We have just returned from 5 lovely days at this site. Very friendly staff and extremely helpful. Site is well laid out and all amenities are very clean. Did not try the restaurant but everyone leaving it said how lovely the food was. Morrisons is a short distance away, and the dogs loved Holkham Beach. (10 miles away) Wells-next-the-Sea is worth a visit as well as the surrounding villages. The site is very quiet and there are a lot of wild birds to see - they even have a small hut you can sit in and watch birds feeding. Rabbits run freely too. Will definitely be returning as it appears a lot of people do. They have a storage area for your van if you want to leave it there.
Delightful well laid out site with excellent facilities and very friendly hosts. Large site but doesn't feel it. Immaculate washrooms similar standard to 4star hotel. Like other reviewers we liked it from the moment we arrived and will definitely go back. Has adult-only area and dog walk. Being picky knocked one star off for a little noise from nearby B road. Overall very highly recommended.
We have stayed at the Old Brick Kilns on about five previous occasions and the standard is consistently high. Had a lovely stay in May for about 4 days, only wish we could have stayed longer.
The site is beautifully landscaped and well tended. A lake (fishing)in the middle of the site adds to the overall appearance.
Plenty of space around each caravan and excellent facilities with underfloor heating and ample hot water.
There are no shops nearby, but the site has it's own shop and also a very nice little restraint for campers to either eat in or arrange a takeaway. This can be a little bit pricey but means that there is no need to leave the site for a good meal.
The owners are always on site and helpful and always ready with a welcome on arrival.
An extremely well maintained and attractive site. The site also has an adult only area. Highly recommend !
