Date of Visit: June 2012 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Griff10553 3 reviews from this member

 Stayed at Rose Farm for one week at the beginning of June.

When we arrived we were met by Sue, who made us feel welcome and showed us to our pitch. Our pitch was very large and well kept.

The toilet, washing and shower facilities were always clean, with plenty of hot water. The pot washing facilities are good again with hot water.

The site itself is well maintained and quiet throughout the day and especially at night. I wouldn`t say there was a lot for young children.

There are some nice pubs locally serving good food. We were not keen on the area of Great Yarmouth, but that is a personal choice.

Overall a lovely sight with the only disappointment being the weather.

Reviewer: Paulinealison 2 reviews from this member

 Had an excellent week here with the three grandchildren, the site is faultless the toilet & showers are immaculate, the owner is very friendly & constantly on the go, we liked it so much we visited again in September on our own & plan to visit again 2013 again with the grandchildren. The village pub is in walking distance from the site and & does good meals there, our grandchildren enjoyed playing in the play area, there is a café/restaurant on site but we didn't use it this time.

Reviewer: Luby lou 40 3 reviews from this member

 Spent a week on this campsite and wasn't disappointed, very clean, very quiet just what we wanted. A

ll the facilities were very good, one very small grumble the shower could do with a little more time before knocking off. I appreciate the reasoning behind this system but its a little awkward when washing your hair.

We went on a weeks special offer, very reasonable rates with hook up. A treat not to be missed if you have the opportunity.

Would definitely recommend this site to anyone. A beautiful area with lots to do for all ages.

Reviewer: Yorks123 2 reviews from this member

 This was a very clean well maintained site with hot showers. However we were a bit disappointed having read all the good reviews. Although a shop and cafe were advertised on the web both were closed for the length of our stay and although wifi is stated we searched but no connection was found. We would have asked at the reception but there was never anyone there. We were also on a pitch where a tree had recently been removed so after a downpour we had an awning full of sand.

The surrounding area was lovely though and the bus route into Yarmouth very handy. The local pub was very welcoming and a Tesco local was ashort walk away.

Maybe we were unlucky but unfortunately our experience would prevent us from visiting again 


Date of Visit: May 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Clairemelton 1 review from this member

 We have visited this campsite for 2 years now and are reluctant to try anywhere else because this one is so good.

We always camp at the far end away from the hustle and bustle of toilets/caravans however this does make the toilets/showers a long walk! The site itself is flat with large pitches and despite all the recent rain, very dry and not waterlogged at all. It's a beautiful area where you can watch foxes and deer. It's so peaceful just sitting outside your tent (if it's warm enough!)

The toilets/showers are immaculate, whatever time of day or night you use them.

Great Yarmouth is about 5 miles away and I would strongly recommend a visit to Thrigby Hall wildlife park (see Rose farm's friends page for more details)

Whilst camping we always cook our own food so I'm not sure what the local pub/takeaways are like.

Rose farm is perfect for what we look for in a campsite - peaceful, beautiful location, local for day trips out, large, flat, grass pitches, clean showers and toilets that are open 24 hours and friendly (but not too friendly) owners/staff.

Date of Visit: April 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: MKDons66 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed on this site with some friends. On arrival we were greeted by Alan who was very friendly and helpful.

The pitches are of a good size and easily fit a caravan awning and car.

There are two shower blocks, the newest is heated. The site also has a games room with 2 pc's for internet access. A small shop and cafe and also a useful addition, along with a small play area for the children.

It is a 15-20 min drive to Great Yarmouth centre, and a few minutes from Burgh Castle.

The local village, Belton, has a takeaway and a Tesco Express.

Overall this is a wonderful site, very clean, friendly owners and helpers.

I would recommend this campsite to anyone looking to stay in the Great Yarmouth area. 


Date of Visit: November 2011 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Wookie69 1 review from this member

 Only stayed one night as we were travelling around but would have gladly stayed a lot longer, and if I am in the area again I will be back. Was most welcoming and very clean in every way. The toilet and shower block was lovely and clean with heating which was very welcome at this time of year. The whole site was a role model for campsites. We walked to the local pub where again we were made most welcome by the landlady and staff, and the locals. We had had great home cooked food and drinks all at a very reasonable price. All enjoyed with the woodburner keeping us warm, a great atmosphere. Thank you to The Kings Head at Belton. All in all a very enjoyable nights stay that I would recommend to anyone 


Date of Visit: September 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: ColinL3 1 review from this member

 Just came back from a Friday to Sunday break at Rose Farm with our tent. There were 5 tents in our group and the owners couldn't have been nicer.

The plots we where given were perfect as everyone had children so we were able to see the play park and just the right distance away from the toilets.

The site was spotless, toilets were clean, lots of hot water even after 9 others in our group had had showers.

There is a lovely games room with a pool table and a few arcade machines and a TV room with comfortable seating.

All in all an enjoyable place and one we will be back next year at. 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Samtom86 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from a lovely weeks stay at Rose Farm. It is a wonderful site, the toilet block we used on the lower field was always clean, the rest of the industry should look to this site for confirmation of how it should be done.

Both the owner and her partner never seem to stop working and are very friendly and helpful. We were pitched on the lower field and even after a night of very heavy rain the ground was not waterlogged the next morning.

The children's playground was good and was well used by our children as were the games room and tv lounge.

My only suggestion regarding facilities on the site would be the addition of a small swimming pool, other than that it is a perfect camp site.

The site also has a permanently sited Burger Van which was open most days, Very good food & very friendly couple who ran it.

Reviewer: Chezycamper 5 reviews from this member

 Once again, as previous years, another enjoyable stay at Rose Farm. Pitched our trailer tent once again on the large field which this year had a change to the layout, took some getting used to, as could not really see the pitch markings but got sorted in the end.

Another great addition was to the toilet block, it had two new family shower/wet rooms. This helped to cut down the waiting time some what.

A takeaway food van was situated in the car park outside the office, this was made use of as we could not be bothered to cook as only just arrived and not fully set up. Food good and prices fairly reasonable as burger vans go.

As always everything was spot on, grass mown on a regular basis, toilet block kept very clean and tidy and the owner, as always very pleasant and chatty.

Enjoyed a few more walks this year around the local area. Had a pleasant walk down to the marina and found a lovely pub called The Fisherman's Inn, enjoyed a quiet drink on a very sunny afternoon watching the boats on the Broads.

Look forward if possible to a return in 2012.

Reviewer: Sue,Rochester 1 review from this member

 This is a very nice site and we were warmly welcomed by Sue upon arrival.

The toilets and showers were very clean and all areas were kept very tidy. Dinner at the Kings Head was delicious despite the power cut that knocked out Yarmouth and surrounding areas!

We returned to the site to find Sue working hard to install emergency generators!

The site is situated in beautiful countryside and is really peaceful. It was a pleasure to sit out of an eveing and just chill.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay at Rose Farm and thoroughly recommend it. 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Midge161 1 review from this member

 We stayed here for one night after getting a pitch at short notice (having left another site that wasn't very nice!) - very helpful lady on the phone, and pleasant first impression on arrival too.

This is a large site, but well laid out and kept very tidy. Although well organised it doesn't look quite as regimented and clinical as some large sites. Lots of green areas and trees. They allow dogs and have the usual clean-up rules - didn't notice any dog poo so think most people must be complying with this.

The toilet and shower blocks were clean, well maintained and there seemed to be enough to go around. Nothing for my fussy husband to moan about, and although the showers were cold in the morning, this was due to a fault and soon fixed. Laundry and washing up areas good too. There was also a small lounge / tv room near reception and the playground but we didn't use this.

We were up on a grassy terrace above the caravans, and our electric hook-up was over the fence and down on the bottom level. Not a problem to us, but worth mentioning - not sure if it might need a particular length of cable?

There are picnic tables on quite a few of the pitches, and we were looking forward to using ours, but someone pinched it when we were out! (Don't blame them really. Difficult to show that you are occupying a pitch with a campervan when you aren't there!)

There was a good children's play area near the entrance, and a hot food van which was available most days - nice food and a helpful owner who did two small hot dogs for my toddlers.

The site is in a good place for touring the Broads, Norfolk coast and parts of Suffolk but it seems there are some quite good places reachable on foot - we didn't walk from the site as we were moving on the next day.

I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the site was at night, even though quite a few people were sitting outside their tents/vans late on.

I would recommend this site if you like clean facilities and a laid back atmosphere (within the usual rules) and would come here ourselves again - reasonable cost too compared to similar parks (£23. 50 for 2 adults, 2 kids aged 1 and 3, a dog and electric hook-up)

Reviewer: Clairelouise74 1 review from this member

 This could be a far better site than what it is. Given a choice of pitches on arrival which was great. We choose pitch on a slight slope but on a field away from the road. Pitch size was huge and could fit 2 large size tents which was a bonus.

2 main things let this camp down. First was the facilities or lack of. Where we pitched was only 1 shower block with 4 showers, 1 each in the single sex toilets and 2 family showers + toilet, had to wait at least twice before using the shower. On at least 3 occasions I had to clean the basin before use. So cleanliness didn't seem to be high. Whether this was due to not being cleaned enough or just the campers, not to sure.

Only 2 sinks with which to wash dishes with, so at busy times you had to wait quite a while. Site is near a main road so traffic could be heard but it didn't bother our party of 3.

Would go back but only if the facilities improve.

Reviewer: Madleoz 5 reviews from this member

 Nice and welcoming on arrival, nice level site, toilets, showers and wash facilities absolutely first class and clean at all times,

Owner very pleasant and friendly with good sense of humour, and very helpful good place to visit local area from,

Will be returning next year

I was in large tent and still had lots of room,

Nearby there is a shop post office and pub, excellent play area for children,

Although it rained most of the time I was there, the ground did not become waterlogged or muddy,

There is also a tv room and pool table in the reception area,

It is only a short drive from gt yarmouth and gorlaston where you will find great beaches,

Reviewer: KERRFAR74 1 review from this member

 On arrival found the site to be very pleasing and peaceful granted it was 9pm when we arrived.

Site was well laid out each pitch was very spacious I have a large tent but still had ample space between myself and the next pitch.

Toilets/showers well I can only say that if all sites met the same standard then it would do a lot for the image of the industry as I couldn't find anything wrong with them

Could do with a better playpark for the kids as there wasn't that much on site but lets face it you only use the site as a base camp

Sue and the handyman where great with the kids always spoke and always happy to be of some help if they could(had to get the handyman to tighten up handlebars on the boys bikes as I forgot my tools which he done for me no questions asked)they can both be seen on site at anytime working away like little busy bees maintaining the site (and it shows with the high standards maintained)

My only gripe is make sure that if you near second toilet block with kids you need to keep them quite as when we arrived granted my kids(10, 7, 5)where excited and jumping around.

The next morning we got asked to move pitch as there had been a complaint that the boys made to much noise and kept a couple of long term residents awake (boys where in bed and out for the count by 10. 30pm)

Granted when we moved up to deck 2 it was a lot better for the kids as they had a big field to ride there bikes on

All in all I would rate the site as very good to excellent
