Just got back from this lovely campsite, friendly and helpful owners (and dog!)First visit and hopefully not the last. Everything as it should be - and a bit more. Toilets spotless, you can tell that the owners are (deservedly) proud of their beautiful site. The pub down the road is worth a visit, food and beer are very good and reasonably priced and the welcome is as good as that at the site. We only stayed the night and hope to stay longer next time. It's a little off the beaten track but well worth a visit.
Fabulous campsite, couldn't be better for a nice quiet, peaceful weekend. Owners were lovely, very helpful but left us to our own devices. Toilets were immaculate, wouldn't mind that standard in my own house!. The grounds were kept perfectly, obviously a lot of work goes into keeping this site so nice.
The dog walk was perfect, big enough to give dogs a good run, close enough to go willingly even when its raining.
The pub up the road was ok, not great, but perfectly acceptable food and just a pleasant short walk away. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you we will be back. !
First time camping together for me and my wife and Run Cottage at Hollesley, Suffolk provided us with a an excellent and positive experience. The owners are friendly and welcomed us with a quick tour of the facilities, then left us to get our tent up and get sorted for a few days there.
The site is very well maintained. Lush green grass and shale paths surrounded by trim hedging, established ponds and the river Run flowing alongside. The recent toilet and shower block is an excellent facility.
There are two toilet cubicles (always with loo paper) and two shower cubicles, two sinks and a mirror. The showers are instantly hot and thanks to a previous customer's review there are hooks on the doors to hang your stuff. At the end of the block is a kitchen area for washing up.
There is a small fridge/freezer in there too which we used to refreeze some freeze blocks. There's also plenty of tourist information there for all sorts of days out and other activities.
There are well spaced caravan plots with electrical hook-up and two areas for tents, without hook-up.
The owners are always about, grass-cutting, hedge trimming etc. A site doesn't look this good without constant attention. Their two dogs, Harvey and Dudley are often seen too but are friendly without being an annoyance.
A few tips for Run Cottage campers.
If you're in a tent and are camping in the front section and you pitch your tent by the road, there is a lot of early morning farm traffic which is of course to be expected in such a rural area. The tractors and trailers come thundering past and are are a bit unsettling until you get used the them. When we return, if we're in this area we will pitch our tent side on at the back of this area and leave the car next to where we sleep in the hope that it will be a bit of a buffer.
Make sure you have a doormat or carpet offcut for your tent accesses as the grass is cut regularly and isn't collected so a mat will keep it from getting everywhere in the tent. Basic tip I guess but just thought I would mention it.
Try the steak and kidney pie at the Shepherd & Dog. Awesome! The pub will also sell you a Parish Council published book of walks for £4. 00.
Lastly, look forward to your return. We are and we've only just got back!
Just returned from a few days at this lovely campsite. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. This is a lovingly-kept caravan site, with a separate area for tents.
Dog owners on the site were very responsible and a separate, large area has been made available as a dog walk.
Toilets were spotless (husband asked if some hooks could be put on the doors in the showers, please!) It is one of those sites you would want to put on your favourites list.
This site is probably more suited to couples without young children as there is no play area and whilst the ponds and river add to the charm of the site, they might be cause for concern for parents with little ones.
What a lovely peaceful site with really friendly owners. We managed to get a last minute booking and we are so glad we did (despite the lousy weather).
The pitches are well spaced and fairly level though we did need one block. The owner put us on a grass pitch by the pond which was secluded and got the evening sun.
There is a very strict no groundsheets in awnings rule in force to maintain the grass. There are 2 toilets and 2 showers in each of the ladies and mens blocks which were clean. Plenty of hot water, though showers on a 'push button' system which saves water but is a bit awkward to use. Hairdryer in ladies as well.
One washing up sink in the information room, which has info on local pubs and walks etc. Due to the open water and no play facilities I would say it isn't suitable for young children here.
Dog walk good and owners have 2 dogs so they are welcoming to dogs. Lovely area of Suffolk, well placed to get to attractions. Village pub Shepherd and Dog in walking distance and they allow dogs in the bar and back garden (dog offered bowl of water and treats), nice pub food and friendly owner/staff.
Also local shop/post office and garage in village. Woodbridge an easy drive away with a good range of independent shops.
We will return, hopefully with better weather and more time to explore the area.
What a little gem! Visited the site with a few friends for a long weekend. Facilities are good, location is generally very quiet, Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings all within easy reach. Friendly owners.
The local pub, a 10 minute walk away, The Shepherd and Dog, does good food and the landlord and staff are really friendly (dogs are allowed in the bar).
In Woodbridge, we ate at the Duke of York, on the junction of Old Barracks Road and the Ipswich Road (just off the A12), they looked after our party very well although they do not allow dogs inside. We walked to Shingle Street, which is about 2 miles from the site along a lane, a few cars did pass by us, but it is worth the walk.
The beach is steep and the currents in the water very strong so not recommended for swimming. Blew some cobwebs away with the strong wind that was blowing.
Woodbridge is a very pretty town, typically old fashioned with lots of character buildings.
We would recommend this site very highly. It is in the process of being extended to take more tents.
Brilliant weekend. We would stay again if we were in this area.
Beautiful site, lots of trees and and well maintained flower beds, well kept grass and dog walking area, beautiful and well kept pond lots of tall and mature trees.
Good walks in the area although owners are very busy they always have time for a chat and are very helpful, I think more washing up areas are needed, but the one that is there is kept very clean and doubles as an information room,
Toilets always very clean, but no temp control for showers a little hot for me, but always enough hot water,
There is a great pub just down the road has no path a bit dangerous walking back at night, with helpful and accommodating owners and staff and does good food and there is a little shop a little bit further on.
Excellent site, small but very well run. Great position, near to coast and other attractions.
No facilities for freezing blocks but the local shop offered to do it for us. The local pub was within walking distance and the food was excellent and very reasonably prices.
The toilet, shower, and washing up facilities were very clean with constant hot water.
The owners were very helpful, I found part of a cooker in the washing up room and when I said who had left it she said she would telephone the campers to let them know.
SSSShhhh don't tell anyone how good this site is !
Nice and quiet lovely pitch sizes not cramped in at all loos kept clean and tidy nice hot water etc.The owners very friendly and doing a very good job
Nice area, near everything all just a short drive away, quiet lanes to walk and cycle some people do go quick on roads so just be careful. Take a torch at night as no street lights
Just all and all a really pleasant site well worth a 10/10
A really lovely site if you like it peaceful. The welcome was warm and friendly. The site was level and ample in size and all facilities were clean and well maintained. It is very near the Sutton Hoo National Trust site and in the middle of lovely countryside. The surrounding fields and woodland were lovely to walk the dog in and we will certainly be returning.
What a beautiful site. Tucked away, for lots of peace and relaxation. Lovely area to let the dogs run wild. Run by a very friendly, helpful couple. Site was spotless, with lovely clean facilities. Children were welcome, but no play area, which made a nice change. My 12 year old was ok with that too! Nice looking local pub, also a bit further afield, a pub with an Indian Restaurant inside! Brilliant chip van on the local football field too. So much to see and do locally. The weather wasn't very kind for us this time, but we definitely want to go back. Suffolk Punch just around the corner, Forest, Heath, beach, towns. Excellent. Cant wait to go back.
We choose this site to try out our new to us motor home, the owners were friendly the site was well kept, the toilet and showers were immaculate. Very dog friendly. Is within walking distance of the local pub and village shop, you can also walk to the famous Shingle street However take a torch for walking back from the pub as no street lights or path. This is just a small site but worth a visit.
Really lovely site the toilets and showers were very clean,well stocked shop in near by village, variety of good pubs 10-15 minute drive away.
Also very conveniently Suffolk Link run a bus service to Woodbridge and surrounding villages just contact them by telephone and the small bus will pick you up outside the camp site,it will also pick you up in Woodbridge for your return journey at a pre arranged time and drop you back at tha campsite.
Leaflets are available on the campsite, with telephone numbers etc.
We know the area very well as it is quite local to us, but have never stayed on the site as we usually go further afield, but as we needed somewhere local to stay, due to work being carried out on our house, we had heard a lot about this lovely little site so decided to give it a try. We were definitely not disappointed! The owners Andy and Michele were very friendly and helpful, and lovely people to talk to. The site was perfect for us in every way.Lovely clean facilities, very spacious pitches, tidy and well kept whilst also being wildlife friendly, also very peaceful and tranquil with no road noise at all.Heaven! The area is of outstanding natural beauty and has something for everyone. Whether you are into walking, cycling, visiting historical places of interest, wildlife watching (local Fallow Deer are often seen and heard) or just a nice peaceful drive around the local area. Great shopping at nearby Woodbridge too. Shingle street is also worth visiting for a lovely walk alongside the sea, lots of wildlife and has interesting history dating back to the second world war! Nearby Rendelsham forest is also good for walking/cycling and has great wildlife including large herds of Fallow Deer, wild Ponies etc. Not really recommended for children though as there is a large open pond and not a site for children to run around on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are planning to go back very soon.And regularly!
A spacious and really peaceful site. Very quite, clean and well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The small toilet block was immaculate. There is just one sink for washing-up.
The site is more a park than a camping site, surrounded by large trees and a pond in the corner. The pitches are really large - they could easily double the number of pitches (I hope they don't). There is no playground on site but they love 'good' (means quiet) children.
The village is near (10 min walk) with a well stocked shop and a post office. There is also a pub that seems to have reasonable prices (the menu is displayed in the washing-up room).
The remote location makes it a perfect starting point for walks and trips to the 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. Many other places of great history and value are easy to access. The next supermarket is at Woodbridge which itself is worth a visit.
We will definitely return (booking is strongly recommended).
