Stayed here for two weeks in June. The site is really excellent. Within 10 minutes walk of the village of Thorpe le Soken. Three large fields, one for a limited number of tents (? 10), one for Camping Club members only and one free for others (us, as we are Caravan Club members) For three nights we were the only unit on our field and even at weekends the site was never crowded or noisy. Road noise is minimal and the trains are two fields away and the noise from them is minimal. Showers are 50p but as the site cost £15 per night this was not unreasonable. Glenn even gave me a free night at the end as we had stayed for a fortnight. The sanitaire is fine though the hand basins seemed unnecessarily small. Difficult to have a facial wash in them. The area has some lovely countryside, somewhat marred by a high density of road traffic - not the site owners' fault at all but of concern to us as elderly cyclists. Good beach at Frinton and I do love a sea swim. Morrisons supermarket nearby. Pubs in the village not up to much, hence I only visited once. Wine in camp listening to birds and feeding the ducks appeals more than noisy rock music and overpriced beer. When will the pub trade ever learn?! Frinton is nice - free parking on the Greensward overlooking the sea. Lots of interest in the area, Martello Towers, Constable country, Colchester not far away, National Trust places nearby etc. So a high rating for this site. Would go again. Thanks to Mary and Glenn for your friendliness and for running a really good site.
We have stayed at Grange Farm several times as it is local for us, and provides a lovely relaxing break, and is very close to amenities! A 5 minute stroll through the countryside to the local town where there are shops, pubs, restaurants and a takeaway - but return to the site and you could be a million miles away - just perfect! Facilities are very clean and modern, and checked throughout the day by the friendly and helpful staff. There are 3 distinct fields, and all types of unit are catered for, with adequate facilities for filling & emptying the essentials! With everything you may want within walking distance, a beautiful setting and owners who care and pay attention to the site, and the coast a mere 10 minute drive, whats not to like! Recommended for weekend and longer stays, and its popularity is clearly growing from the number of repeat visitors.
We chose the site because we wanted to visit the Airshow at Clacton-on-sea, but we would go back another time as it is a good site with good facilities and the owners / wardens were more than helpful and friendly.
The site is only a short distance from the village, with shops, pubs and eateries; you can walk there if you like across the fields. It's only a short drive to Clacton so we were right on the doorstep for the Airshow, but we saw other attractions advertised locally.
The site was quiet in location, with only the local railway line to be heard over the wildlife of the rolling landscape. The site is a working farm, so the odd tractor moved around the yard which was restricted from visitors for safety. The facilities are clean and acceptable, although one of the showers wasn't working very well at the time.
Children under 13yrs were not permitted in the toilet blocks without an accompanying adult; this was inconvenient when you are camped within view of the block and you'd like to kids to go on their own; when you're cooking or worse still, relaxing! There isn't a playground for the kids either, so they get bored easily. A couple of football goal-posts in one of the fields for them to kick about, but that's about it.
Our little touring caravan given to us, is stored at this site. Spent bank holiday at this site, best and most relaxing we have been to, very clean tidy, warden friendly, hardworking and helpful, toilets clean, whole site is immaculate. Lovely walk along field to shops, past picturesque houses. Site is very security conscious which helps when you have children, entrance has gates and you have to report to reception on arrival, there is also a picturesque pond and lots of birdlife to look at
Visited this site During the 'Bertha' Storms so was windy but doesn't detract from this site.
Its hidden away down a small track which opens out to the reception/residential area. The staff/reception was friendly and helpful and he showed us to our level pitch, just yards from the inclusive Electric hook up.
A very nice touch was the warden introduced himself and explained routes to towns etc, about the local village, which really nice. Wish more sites would do this instead of just grunting and pointing to a pitch!
As a certificated site its pretty basic on facilities but they are clean and work well. 50p for a shower but its a good un!
Overall excellent value for money, friendly staff, clean basic facilities. Will visit again.
A second visit to Grange Farm - this time on my own in my small pop-up as I didn't have the dog.
Another warm welcome and the site was wonderfully quiet despite my stay being in the middle of the summer holidays. As a lone camper the price was an absolute bargain, again considering the time of year, this was a welcome surprise!
It was lovely to see such well behaved children playing around the site, nevertheless the owner popped over to see me to check if there was too much noise (which there definitely wasn't) which was a thoughtful move and added to the overall feel of 'family. '
Really enjoyed our 2nd visit to Grange Farm, we only manage to get away once a year in June for our anniversary, and again we were very impressed with everything.
Lovely setting, peaceful and the walks around Grange farm were
So nice. Our rottweiller, Charley, who is now 2 had a wonderful
Needed somewhere basic, clean and cheap to stay which offered an electric hook-up. Grange Farm was the ideal location!
The facilities were basic but clean. It was a very quiet time of the year when we stayed and the single shower in our block was always free; I would be interested to find out how that works if the site was a little busier.
It was necessary to pay for the shower, which gave plenty of time per payment, and, for the price of the pitch, it's not unreasonable to expect to pay a little something towards hot showers.
Warm water was available in the block for free but the very small sink was difficult to shave in and there wasn't anywhere to put your shaving bag, towel etc when at the single sink. Small point, but important when your stuff is balancing on the sink or on the floor.
Really nice touch was the inclusion of picnic tables dotted about the site which you could move around on a first-come basis. Again, as the site was quiet, we all had one each.
Dog-friendly and a working farm so it had a lovely family-friendly feel and the farmhouse/office/staff were all great!
We had a great time and will definitely be back in the future.
