Arrived on a cold bank holiday Friday. No-one to tell us where to pitch, even though we were arrived exactly at the time we said we would. We started to pitch, feet down, groundsheet laid for awning, leccy plugged in, and it started to pour down.
Then Odell arrives to tell us to move. So we had to upsticks and move. It also happened to the next van arrival. I realised Odell is very busy with the B&B etc but a name on a stick where he wants you to pitch would be very useful. This my only gripe; moan over.
The site is very pretty with great views. Flat and level. Lots of picnic tables for tents. Not regimented at all. Lovely dog walks on Odell’s land, with about half an hour walk to the local pub, the Swan, which is lovely, with great food.
There is no shop - it is shut - and it’s a long way to the next one, so take want you need for the first day or two. We only used the site loos a couple of times as have our own, but they were clean and tidy. There is a huge room for washing up, with fridge etc - could be used for board games in wet weather?
This is a working farm with equipment parked around, so you need to keep an eye on young kids. However, there are a couple of grass areas for playing games.
We chose this site as had tickets for tour and tasting at the Greene King brewery in Bury St Edmunds bought as a gift. We went there (pre-booked) on the Bank Holiday Saturday.
Tour and Bury lovely, apart from the rain and sleet! Loved Sudbury too. Will return another day.

Lovely place to wind down. Gorgeous views across open fields. Odell is a very friendly host, with a very relaxed attitude.
The facilities here might be dated but the relaxed atmosphere of the campsite is far more important. I have stayed here many times because of that reason.

This is an amazing working farm that offers great walks and a few lovely pubs withing walking distance across the fields. The location is very quiet ideal for those relaxing weekends and the owners are truly lovely and very welcoming. So if your at a loss for something to do pop down to bright house farm and relax, your be glad you did. We'll be definitely going back. This weekend actually.

Just got home from a lovely relaxing weekend at this site, entrance via working farm yard that leads to well maintained lawns. Plenty of space, very easy going site owner, clean and tidy toilets and showers. Well worth a visit.

This was a lovely campsite and we had a brilliant weekend. It was a very hot weekend, but the mature trees provided plenty of shade so we were able to stay cool.
This was the first time my children (aged 7 and 5) had been camping and I couldn't have picked a better campsite. Good toilets and showers, but with no other facilities it was very quiet and exactly what I think camping should be about! The space between the pitches meant that we really didn't see (or hear) very many other people.
Odell was a lovely host, popping to see us both days we were there to check that everything was well.
We particularly enjoyed the circular walk around the farm, which was well kept and well marked. And we walked into the village as well (approx 1 mile) to get to the pub where we had a very lovely dinner. We only live a few miles from this campsite, but it was like being in a different world and I would definitely return.

This was the second time I have had the pleasure of visiting Odell at his wonderful campsite and again I was not disappointed. This time I brought along my parents who had not been camping in three years. We had a fabulous time, the pitches were perfect with lots of space for the children and dog to play. It was boiling hot so a game of capture the flag using water bombs was in order!
Odell could not be more accommodating, he comes around to see everyone on a daily basis and is always helpful and chatty. The site itself is so well laid out with trees and greenery that you feel like you could be anywhere - rather than the nine miles we travelled to camp!
Thank you Odell for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming again soon.

Just had a lovely stay at Brighthouse Farm. Stunning views, very dog friendly which is important to us. Odell was an excellent host who came for a walk with his dog and gave a very interesting tour with some great local history and farm facts.
Lots of space on a level site. Lots of hook ups. Very peaceful. Showers and toilets are a bit dated and could use a good clean. The wet rooms have excellent pressure and temperature and the tokens (£1 each) last a reasonable amount of time for a shower.
When booking I spoke to Dad who perhaps steered me to believe a different price than we paid, but hey ho, it was a lovely site and if we will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Another lovely stay at brighthouse farm. This time we spent a week. The site is set out well with space for everything, and lots of room for the children to play game's.
The toilets and showers are clean and tidy and we never had to queue to use them. There are lovely walks for the families and dogs.
We used two of the local pubs and found both of them friendly.
The owner was very helpful and friendly and a nice man to have a laugh and chat with. Will be returning in the near future.

What a fab site. First time for us here and we will definitely come again. Fantastic rural setting and stunning views.
Different parts set up for different tourers. We were in quiet section but lovely large families section.
All facilities good and clean. Dog friendly. Lovely walks in the area that we made the most of.
Big town about 30 minutes away and an hour to the seaside.

Our first visit to Brighthouse Farm was this Easter, for a long weekend. We loved it so much that we returned for a week in June. The site is in a beautiful setting with far-reaching views across the countryside. The pitches are extremely spacious and very well kept. There are wooden picnic tables and benches for outside dining.
The toilets and shower blocks are dated but fully functional. There are individual showers with loo and wash basin plus family showers. Excellent quality soap and toilet rolls made a pleasant change from some of the places we have stayed!
The farm is on a quiet country road with Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds, Long Melford and Lavenham a short drive away.
The Swan pub has a lovely garden area and the food at The Bush is excellent.
If you like to get away from it all, breathe in the fresh air and relax Brighthouse Farm is the destination for you.
A warm welcome awaits you from Odell and his beautiful Weimaraner Spice.
