This was our fourth visit to Breck Farm, one of our favourite campsites, however I really feel that they crammed too many campers in this last weekend. Tents were pitched so close together that campers who had gone out for the day were having a job to get their cars back to their tents. The only hot water available was in the showers by purchasing a token, there was no hot water in the toilets or the sinks for washing up. Hubby went over to the toilets this morning and had a job to find one that wasn't blocked!
Very disappointed, we have previously loved this campsite and I think that had they said no to a few people it would have made it far more comfortable for everyone there. I appreciate that they have to make their money while they can but basic facilities should still be available.
I don't think we will be going back, well especially not at busy times, its a shame.
Arrived on a Thursday evening and found a decent space in the Meadow Field without too much trouble. Had we arrived 24 hours later then it might have been a different story as the site filled up considerably with 'weekend campers'. Nice and peaceful again by Sunday evening.
I suspect one of the big draws for the occasional campers is the fact that you can have open fires (in metal fire drums) right outside your tent. The farmhouse sells wood and indeed marshmallows which were delicious cooked over the open flames.
As previous reviewers have said the site is right next to Bodham Wood so ideal if you have dogs. Would be nice if all owners could be responsible for their mess though!
Holt is a short drive away and has a Budgens, Spar and various other shops and is a pleasant little town. There is a pub in walking distance (about 20 - 25 mins)in Bodham, which allows dogs inside.
My main gripe with the site is the showers. Unfortunately these were always dirty and although a mop and bucket was left to clean up a little after your shower, this too was so dirty which made the act of mopping seem a waste of time. Also the showers are operated by a token at a cost of 50p. I did not object to paying for this as the site fees were really reasonable for peak season but it was stated that you got 3½ minutes per token. I decided to time this as I felt a little shortchanged in terms of time on my first shower. Turns out I was! I subsequently timed the next 4 which varied between 2 mins 20 and 2 mins 55. Good job I wash quick! The token system did have it's advantages though in that I never had to queue for a shower, and even if you do, you know you won't have to wait long for one to become free.
The toilets were plentiful and despite the site being full I never queued for these either.
I would return, as the location is good, and the open fires great to extend the evening's outside relaxation time.
Arrived on Tuesday and stayed for six nights, originally booked for three, but were able to add extra ones as the sun kept shining. Able to pitch where we wanted in field behind shower block.
12 year old son, and parents, enjoyed having a campfire each night, which was the main reason for choosing this site, along with the price.
Quiet location and easy access into Cromer. So many lovely places along the coast; Blakeney, Salthouse beach, Sheringham via the steam train (enjoyed the parade of 400 Harley Davison motorbikes), Wells next the Sea.
Plenty of walking in the woods and a field for children to play in.
Happy with facilities, plenty of showers, sinks & toilets. Also plenty of plug points for hair driers etc, very useful for recharging mobile phone as well. No problems with cleanliness despite the site being very busy at the weekend.
Only had to wait a few minutes for washing-up sinks (some inside & some outside), although at busy times the water wasn't hot.
Site was busy at the weekend so obviously noisier, but still not disturbed by late noise.
Staff were friendly, helpful and make lovely toffee! Will be back next summer.
Friendly, busy but relaxed no frills site. Large shower & toilet block with a good sized disabled/baby change shower & toilet. Electric points for hairdryers & 2 freezers to take your own ice blocks. Really laid back atmosphere with fire pits, plenty of space to pitch and for children to play. The pigs & chickens were a hit with my 2 toddlers too!
I was a bit dubious about the token shower system from experiences on other sites but found 1 token was plenty for me and it certainly helped with the turnaround of people during busy times.
Recommend taking a large plastic container/tub to bath young children in the shower so that you only have to use 1 token and also because the showers were lovely and hot but a bit too hot for little ones perhaps.
Loved the fact that we were able to just call up on a Friday in July and book for that weekend without any problem as there are no set pitches unless you have electric hook up so there was no problem fitting us in.
Just arrived back from a few days stay at Breck Farm. For those who want all the modern conveniences offered by some of the more larger sites then steer clear, this is a working farm which offers 3-4 field areas for camping including hook ups for those who want the TV!
the shower blocks were clean and adequate, incorporating washing up area and even a laundry facility, the token system for the showers works well along with the freezer option.
We took advantage of the local produce, free range fresh eggs and jams. We stayed at the bottom field away form the toilet blocks and found everything we expected, quiet after 10pm even with some larger groups nearby.
If you want camping with no frills enjoy the warm welcome and warm fires in the evening. Be aware the local pubs are on old time, two opening times 12-3/6-11 both within easy walking distances and The Red Hart has a lovely pint of Adnams Broadside.
This is the first review I've left having used this website many times to research campsites. We had such a great time at Breck Farm I felt I had to sign up and join in!
We went over the Jubilee weekend with two other families. We arrived at lunch time on Friday and had our pick of spots - loads of room and we set up camp in the Wood Field alongside the woods. Perfect for the kids and great views for us. Only downside was it was a bit of a walk to the shower block and loos - the best and cleanest I have seen at a 'basic' campsite like this.
We had some noisy neighbours on the first night but after speaking to the owner they were quieter the next 2 nights - the weather probably also dampened the mood. By Saturday afternoon the campsite was completely full but still the toilets never ran out of paper and the showers ran hot. The only queues were for the washing up sinks.
The ability to have fires is a necessity for me when camping and this campsite had fires at every pitch. The weather worsened over the weekend and quite a few people gave up and went home - and the track in to the field got very muddy - but we continued to have a fantastic time. We didn't take advantage of the visiting ice cream van or the breakfast van but they are nice touches.
We took our bikes and rode into Sheringham for cricket on the beach and a pub lunch on the sunny day, coming home on the steam railway. Some of the boys also went off to ride the tracks in the woods in the rain and loved it. Good tree climbing and den building for the kids plus an empty mown field opposite with football goals and plenty of space for cricket and flying kites. The kids did not get bored.
I really recommend this campsite for the space, views, woods, campfires and shower block. I have no complaints at all. Loved it.
3rd year running to this site, we love it - I can understand that its not a campsite for everyone, if you like individual pitches, beautifully mown sites, children's play areas, heated shower blocks etc then this site isnt for you. However if you like a really friendly site where you can pitch were you like, ample room for a game of cricket/rounders with a group of friends, to chill out with a drink or two over a campfire with new or old friends, don't mind basic but clean toilets/showers, a field with the forest on two sides then you will love it.
Went for a lovely bike ride around quiet country lanes, found a couple of pubs en route, had fish & chips from sheringham on the friday night, and had some friends come and stay with us on the saturday night - they only had to pay £2 each, its £8 for a tent plus £2 per person which I think is a really sensible way to price a campsite.
They have now introduced a van which serves cooked breakfasts and tea/coffee up until 11am, its situated to the side of the toilet block and seemed very popular, and with the glorious weather this weekend the ice cream van had a queue!
We have just spent a week at breck farm and had a great time. A few things bothered us but it did not spoil our stay.
The views are lovely and watching the little calves amble around was fun. The facilities were very roomy and plenty of them but the cleanliness needs to be addressed asap.
When we arrived on Saturday the site was quite busy as there was a motorbike meeting and a few weekenders in caravans in other fields but by Sunday pm all were gone apart from the odd one or two tents, so you would expect the site and the facilities to be thoroughly cleaned and tidied up after a busy weekend, basic stuff like showers cleaned, hair gotten rid of from shower areas, bins all emptied.
Greasy sinks in pot washing areas cleaned, outdoor bins emptied so rubbish did not blow all over site in the wind, but no it did not happen.
First 2 days we had no hot water in pot washing or toilet facilities so resorted to boiling a kettle to do our pots then tried facilities again and they were ok this time and for the rest of the week, still greasy and dirty ones left though. One was left full of greasy water for 2 days too and it still had a greasy ring round it when we left on saturday. No evidence of ANY cleaning routines apart from mops and buckets in shower areas, never anyone using them though!maybe we should have done it ourselves. Showers do get nice and hot after about a minute wasted waiting for it to come through of the 3. 5 mins of shower time that costs 50p and you have to go buy it from the farmhouse, annoying as it is I suppose its better than kids being able to play in toilet areas and wet everywhere through with free flowing showers. Had to take a plastic carrier to hang clothes in as showers wet everything through if you don't. I saw one woman strip off outside the cubicle and leave her clothes outside so she could keep them dry.
The farm has 3 dogs running round and one day they all came chasing after my little dog and threw him all over the place it was horrid to see. He was off his lead as we were the only tent around at that time so we were out playing close to the tent, after speaking to guy who is on site a lot and knows the dogs well, he told me to speak firmly to the black dog and tell him to go away and he would be ok and he was so we had no further trouble. Also it was annoying when we had instructions to clean up after our dog and the 3 farm dogs did it everywhere. Would not like to let any kids of mine play in the fields.
Would have been better if the grass was shorter too, we got soggy shoes and trouser bottoms walking across the field to toilets. We still had a good time and would use breck farm again its a lovely place and situated really nicely for travelling around. The family who own it were lovely and pleasant when we spoke to them it would have been really nice if they had popped down to see if everything was ok during our stay, then we would not have to write things down on here, its just the lack of cleaning this week that upset us. Maybe we caught them on a bad week, I don't know.
This was our first camping experience and we loved it. The owners were lovely,
We stayed on the campfire field and had a huge fire every night, we brought the logs and kindle from the farm which was reasonable price.
We have 2 girls and went with another family of 2 adults and 2 children, the children went into the wooded area around the camp and we lost them for hours at a time, they absolutely loved the freedom of the woods and they found a trail with play stuff on their way (while us adults just sat )
We never ventured into weybourne which is very close.
The farm also had fresh eggs and jams for sale,
There are plenty of toilets which are clean, The showers were ok too.
We went on the Poppy line and went on a real steam train to holt, then back to sherringham which we all enjoyed.
So all in all a great experience for our first camp and we are all looking forward to going back some time soon
Lovely family run camping site. We turned up around 5:30 in the evening without booking and had a nice welcome and she explained that as we didn't require electric hook up we could pitch the tent anywhere in the camping field.
We normally choose to camp in the slightly more commercial holiday parks so this felt slightly more like 'ruffing it' for us and I was a little worried about the facilities compared to where we would normally camp. I was happy to find the toilet and shower block was large and clean, if not a little more basic than other sites. It was a large breeze block barn.
The only criticisms would be that my husband said the floors in the men's showers were concrete and very grubby but the woman's were tiled and clean. Maybe they know us woman are a little fussier than the men!
Also the doors were always open ( I assume to help with ventilation?) so due to the time of year there were hundreds of daddy long legs inside by the evening and I'm not one for showering with bugs.
But obviously they are not responsible for the amount of bugs about, but it would have been nicer if the doors were kept closed to keep the numbers down. Previous comments have stated that the showers were cold but when we went they were lovely and hot.
It is a working farm so there is plenty of mud and I would recommend some wellies if the weather is bad. The views were lovely and there was lots of space for our 3 year old to run about and play.
It was £8 for the pitch, £2 per person and 50p for 3 minutes in the shower. Which I believe is the same price all year round.
So if there is 4 people in the tent or more it can be quite expensive for that time of year, although it would be a bargain in the summer holidays. It's worth shopping about.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it if you like the true camping experience.
Enjoyed an impromptu nights camping at Breck Farm a couple of weeks ago when I found the weather was going to be scorching.
I've been to the place before a couple of times, so knew what to expect. Not a lot has changed.
It was fantastic value for money, we had masses of room to set up our tent and enjoyed a BBQ and open fire in the evening.
The facilities are basic, and the showers cost 50p via a token which you buy from the farm house. One of our tokens didn't work, but I'm sure the friendly lady would have given us another token had we gone and told her!
There are freezers to store your ice packs in and quite a few leaflets on the surrounding area. I really like this laid back campsite, and will continue to use it as much as possible!
This was our second visit, having taken a tent here in 2009. They always say that memories are better left that way. We were drawn back to the site by the promise of a quiet family site. Sadly, despite improved facilities the site itself has taken a turn for the worse.
Firstly, the new shower block (only being constructed on our last visit) is already dirty and out of date. 50p for a 3. 5min shower, one minute of which was freezing the remaining minutes would have stripped skin from a child it was so hot.
The walls and floors left a lot to be desired. It didn't look as though it had been cleaned in a few days and the sanitary bins in the toilets stank. I'm aware that we visited after a bank holiday, but I'm a firm believer that this shouldn't mean a lower standard.
Secondly, the road in is a farm track. This is a working farm, part of the charm initially but not so charming when you're towing a caravan.
The hire of camp fires was a draw last time, but last night it was unbearable. The smell of people burning all of their rubbish was overwhelming and made me feel really ill actually.
It's a lovely location, perfect for Sheringham, Holt and Blakeney point-but we'd look elsewhere next time we're in Norfolk.
Just back from a 12 night stay a Breck farm stayed in Meadow field. Really nice friendly people. We never had problems with the showers or toilet block always had hot water, showers were 50p per 3. 5 mins plenty of soap and toilet rolls. We had a lot of heavy rain but fields soon dried out kids loved to visit pigs and the chickens. Plenty of space we flew quad line kites as week days were the quietest with the weekends picking up but not packed. Breck farm sells fire wood @ £4. 50 a sack very good. Brecks ask you not to take wood from the surround woods but some found it necessary to enter the woods and try ripping branches from the smaller trees which spoilt the woods. Hope they don't fence off the woods they are great for the kids to explore. They also sell eggs, fruit and veg. Can recommend the local steam ride kids loved it, went from Sherringham to Holt. Try Daves restaurant in Sherringham for fish and chips really good food well priced.
Only had one little problem with Brecks 'Moles' could be heard most nights digging and changing the level inside the tent, when we broke camp it was like looking down on little trenches where the little so and so had been, but that's camping. All in all we had a lovely time at Breck farm and would recommend it to all who need a field to pitch a tent or park a caravan. See you next year Breck farm.
Spacious site with ample washing facilities in the shower block. Very clean even after some heavy rain.
Stayed here in a large tent with my two daughters. No defined pitches but no one decided to pitch ontop of us either. Made it my base with trips to Sheringham and Holt.
We made and open camp fire each night and the girls made good friends. Quiet and clean. Great atmosphere. Would certainly come back.
