 Stayed recently for 5 nights. Our first visit. Toilets and showers exceptional, best we have ever come across. Site well maintained. Ideal location for touring Suffolk. Very pleasant owners. Excellent shopping facilities nearby, especially Sainsbury, which is within a mile. Public houses located nearby. A very quiet tranquil site which is not too big. Will definitely be visiting again in the near future

This park has a very grand thatched gateway, then run down looking garages and a poky office which did not bode well. The owner came from nearby and was quite friendly. The driveway lead down to a level field surrounded by tall hedges, with a small pond on the left. There was plenty of room with the electric hook-ups round the edge. Pitches marked out with numbered paving slabs. The facilities block is new, well equipped and very clean. Excellent showers with proper taps! In a room at the back are the washing up sinks (yes a proper room!) and washing machine. It was a very peaceful site when we visited. On the downside the tiled floors of the facilities block were very slippery when wet. The same tiles were used in the showers making it treacherous with wet feet. There are too many negative signs – 'Shower at your own risk' 'Do not wash up in washbasins' 'Anyone found smoking in toilet block will be ejected from site' etc. I appreciate owners need to have rules but positive signage is better and less aggressive.
Sudbury is conveniently close for shopping. This was a stopover on our way home so didn't explore much more.

Recommended. We can vouch for all the previous positive recommendations. Owner is a laid back type of guy who leaves you to select your preferred pitch. Pitches are of a good size and level. Satellite and freeview reception are good. It is a short cycle ride into Sudbury which is a nice place to visit. The site is in a good location for cycling. If you decide to use the public footpath and cross the train line, take a torch if doing so in the evening

What a little gem of a site, we really enjoyed our stay here.
A lovely level, nicely laid out, well kept site with trees surrounding it and sensibly priced.
Toilet block and showers were spotless, a delight to use, plenty of hot water, always immaculate, plenty of loo roll and soap and what a delight that they trust you to turn showers on and off rather than those push button timers that you get elsewhere! Two sinks provided for washing up, again always clean and tidy. The only thing we would have liked extra was a facility for re-freezing ice blocks, there may well have been one elsewhere but we didn't find it and didn't ask!
The owners were quite happy for us to leave our car all packed up on Sunday whilst we went out for the day, indeed when I had made the booking they had said there was no rush to get off site which is always a really nice bonus when only going for a weekend.
There was a lovely peacefulness and tranquillity about the site, just a low hubbub of voices chatting over a barbecue. We really liked the size of the site and it was in a very nice area ideal for getting out and about on our bikes and walking which is what we spent most of the weekend doing.
We visited the pub in Assington for lunch on Saturday, highly recommended, excellent value. And we also popped into the Henney Swan on Sunday afternoon for a drink, would like to eat there next time.
We will definitely add this to our list of preferred sites, it was exactly what we wanted. Thank you very much

What a lovely site this is. A nice big flat field with hedges all round to provide shelter. The facilities are excellent, large shower rooms with hot and cold taps and no push buttons, which is great. Owners are very helpful and friendly. Lots of ducks on site and the occasional visiting geese but they were no problem. Sudbury is only 2 minutes drive away and has lots of free parking.
A nice area to visit and one we shall be returning to.

We have just used this site for the first time. We had a folding caravan, a tent, two dogs, two adults and two 11 year olds. Plus an awning.
We had phoned prior to book a pitch. We didn't need to send any deposit.
When we arrived the lady came out to meet us, she was very nice. I told her we needed two pitches as we had the tent but she said we could squeeze it onto the front of our pitch.
So all in all we paid £36 for the two nights. We were impressed. Its a very quiet site. Hardly any noise at all. No traffic, just the odd plane going over from Stansted but that wasn't obtrusive.
There is no shop or amusements or park for the kids but we knew that before we booked. We did like the ducks that come over from the lake.
The toilet/ shower block/ washing up room were spotlessly clean at all times. Very impressive.
The site is about a mile from Sudbury. The Saturday marker was small but the fruit and veg from there were top class.
There is a Tesco a short drive away.
We will definitely go again as it makes a great base for Essex/Suffolk.

This was the second time of staying here it is a lovely quiet small site just outside of Sudbury.
The owners are very polite and they are out everyday making sure everywhere is clean and tidy.
The shower and toilets facilities are superb very clean and very private. All the water and disposal facilities are within easy reach.
It is a very quiet sight but is close enough to outside amenities ie supermarkets pubs and restaurants and Sudbury has a lovely little market on a Saturday.
The only downside there is if we had to find one is there isn't a children's pay area but to be honest the kids amused themselves.

Impressive entrance spoilt by shabby little reception attached to 2 old garages. Staff were quite casual and we were left to find a vacant pitch.
This is a small, tidy, open field site surrounded by woods. Pretty lake in one corner. The generous pitches were numbered, but not separated by fences or hedges.
Pleasant clean toilet/shower block, plenty of hot water. Adequate even when site was practically full. No shop or cafe. Local pub was within walking distance, but there are no pavements on the busy and quite narrow road.
No access to surrounding woods from the site, but it is possible to walk through the fields to the Henny Swan pub on the river. The footpath starts across the road from the site entrance.
It took about 25 mins and you have to negotiate several stiles, some cows and lots of cow pats, but it's worth the effort. Lovely pub, good food.
There is good tv reception. No extra charges for dogs, awnings etc. Not much here for kids.
This is a well kept, level site. Good value for money. We would use again.

As others have said small,quiet,grass site with ehu around the perimeter,owners very trusting as didn't want any money till our departure though didn't see much of them during my stay.
Toilets clean with two large,free shower cubicles. Sudbury can be walked to in about 40mins or an hourly bus service will stop outside the campsite entrance to either Sudbury or Colchester.
There are three pubs within reasonable walking distance The Brook the nearest does food with a nice garden,The King Head further on,don't know if they do food but seemed like quite a friendly pub and The Five Bells which is a bit of a drinkers pub with a nice pint of mild on. Paid a very reasonable £13.50/night for two wiyh ehu.

Quiet small site, the owners are extremely helpful and pleasant. Good base to explore Suffolk. The washing up, toilet and shower facilities were exceptionally well maintained, modern and spotless - a refreshing change from some other sites I have visited where standards deteriorate during the day. Great site, great value.
We went with young kids and although there are no facilities for them, they played quite happily around the tent. It is quite a quiet site however, so not one for football games or rounders.
Overall, would recommend for a quiet stay and brilliant toilet/shower/washing up facilities.

A small-ish grassy site located just south of Sudbury, surrounded by trees. There are a number of statics adjacent to the tourer's site. Most pitches are on grass (good holding for pegs). The toilet block was clean and modern: showers are spacious and there's plenty of hot water.
The owners were not particularly visible most of the time.
Sudbury is a good base for exploring Suffolk by bike. The town also offers a good range of shops and amenities.
Reasonable value-for-money.

Have just returned from the bank holiday weekend at this site. Site was almost full but only had to wait a very short time on one morning for a shower, as previous reviews they were spotless. The hand dryer had its fuse, but people kept on turning the fused switch off which was very annoying as you then had to turn it back on with wet hands! It turns itself off once you move your hands away! All the people we met here were very friendly and they were very relaxed about departure times, which meant we could make the most of the whole weekend. The price for a caravan with two adults was £11:50 plus £2 for electric, all in all a lovely site at a good price and we would hope to return soon.

We have just returned home from a 3 week trip around Norfolk and Suffolk and would like to say how much we enjoyed staying on this lovely peaceful site it was one of the best that we visited. Willowmere must have the cleanest toilet and shower block in the business. And the owners are really pleasant and helpful and knowledgeable of the local area. I can highly recommend this site, although we are 60 plus years it suited us down to the ground. Well done Willowmere.

Level site just South out of Sudbury on the B1508 - take it easy on approach as the entrance comes up quite quickly on the left.
Helpful Old Chap booked us in and helped us site 'van to be clear of impending neighbours, should they materialise.
Minimal chocking required to be purist if you want your spirits to be absolutely level.
Toilet block OK - 2 roomy shower cubicles for each gender, which could be improved with new shower heads (the showers that is).
Toilet doors had no hooks on the inside - otherwise, where do you hang your bits?
Wash basins just fine - and, yes, I agree, hand dryers with fuses removed defeat the object - remember to take a towel.
Small pond within the grounds adds pleasant effect - surrounding trees and high leylandii hedge complete the environment.
Country Park nearby worthy of a circular walk to 'round' the fields and lanes back to the site.
Walk across the fields to Henny and the Henny Swan by the Stour - nice setting for equally nice 'foody' pub. Good atmospshere and menu.
Mind the cow pats if you walk back close to dusk, or be prepared to leave your feet outside the 'van if your footfall goes wrong.
Good location for visiting Kentwell Hall at Long Melford - excellent Tudor Recreation weekends through June/July.
Also, not too distant from Dedham and Flatford Mill for Constable appreciators.
Overall - very good, would recommend.

Just got home from a 4 night stay at this site - It's a small site with some residential static caravans and park homes on one side and grass touring pitches on the other, with about 15 seasonal pitches some of which look like they had been there for about 30 years.
There are no security gates which was a bit of a worry meaning visitors could come and go unchallenged, this made us feel that we had to lock everything up if we left the site, but it was clean and tidy enough.
The toilet block was small but clean although they had taken the fuse out of both hand dryers to stop people using them as hairdryers.
The washing machine and dryer were both out of order but the dishwashing area seemed clean.
I don't understand the reviews saying the owners were welcoming and friendly as apart from smiling as she took my money, there was no sign of them!
The 'fishing on site' was a real disappointment for our kids as they were not allowed access to the fishing lake which is now private and were told they could fish in the small duck pond if they wanted to. It was a similar story with the horse riding which was supposed to be 400 yards away - its true there were horses but they were private stables with no lessons available. We chose this site because of these activities and feel a bit cheated to be honest.
There is a lovely country park behind the site to let your dogs and kids run free but if you have very small children, take care as the road is quite fast and there are no pavements.
There are nice things to do and see in the area for families but really if you are hoping to get away with parking up and staying put I wouldn't recommend this site for children over about 6 or 7 as there's nothing for them to do - our kids are 14, thank god my sister and her family live quite near so my kids had somewhere to escape to.
Our older kids were going to join us a couple of days into our stay, but we called them and told them not to bother.
